A 25-year-old female asked:

will sperm stay in fertile egg white cervical mucas before ovulation? is there a chance the sperm comes out from vagina in mucus?

Dr. Robert Killian answered

General Practice 28 years experience

Semen: Semen leaks in most cases. But, that leakage does not in any way represent any lowering of the risk of pregnancy. Sperm are designed to swim to find an egg and after ejaculation sperm are on their way to and through the cervix regardless of the cervical mucous.

I got a egg white cervical mucus at the start of my fertile days and my opk but opk was low. Now 4 days later my cervical mucus is sticky and I got a peak opk test. I inserted sperm on the 25, 27, & 28. Could I have ovulated early with a low opk?
