If there's one thing a couple should do who have been labelled with 'unexplained infertility' it is to go on a 'no doctors allowed' hiatus and really learn about conception. This is because many doctors are far too quick to tell patients they are 'infertile' after just one year of trying - sometimes it just takes a better understanding of your bodies and your cervical fluid is one of the best indicators of when is the best time to get pregnant.
It's pretty standard for doctors to focus on basal body temperate and overlook the significance of changes in cervical fluid. The best indication of when is the best time to get pregnant is by using the changes in cervical fluid as a guide. For millions of couples around the world, doctors are unfortunately still prescribing the timing of intercourse be dictated by changes in a woman's temperature. If you have been told that checking basal body temperature is actually a post-indication of ovulation and fertility, then at least that is half the story - however most doctors will still tell you to check your past cycles for a predictive indication of future fertile times. There is misinformation in both pieces of advice!
Unfortunately finding when is the best time to get pregnant by keeping a temperature record may actually be impeding conception, as in most cases by the time a temperature increase is noted, the egg has already passed.
Tracking changes in temperature is of course a part of the conception puzzle, but the emphasis the medical profession gives it as a sign of fertility is misleading. There are many useful things to be gleaned from recording basal body temperature, such as your ovulation cycle length (important for knowing if an egg can be successfully implanted in the uterus) or if you are ovulating properly or not - even for determining if a conception has taken place. Be this as it may, basal temperature is not a good determinant of optimum fertility periods. Changes in cervical fluid provide a very accurate determinant of fertile times, so start checking! The prime fertile day is the last day of the cervical fluid that looks like eggwhites, or the wettest type of cervical fluid.
Chances of conception can be increased by paying attention to your cervical fluid. Knowing what you are looking for is the crucial first step of tracking changes in cervical fluids. During any cycle cervical fluids can differ immensely in terms of volume, consistency and its colour. Couples can find the best time for conception if the woman understands and tracks these changes.
Directly after the menses have finished, there is usually not much cervical fluid produced. In most women for the first half a week directly after the period there will be little mucus produced, if any at all. The general rule of thumb can be summed up thus: no cervical mucus, no chances of conception. The stage after this one, and preceding ovulation is one where there is a sticky consistency to the cervical mucus and it is a cloudy or white colour. During this phase there is normally also less mucus. A couple of days prior to ovulation the cervical mucus changes to a moist, sticky consistency like a lotion or hand cream. Usually the colour at this stage will be creamy or white.
The best conception time is ovulation. The most cervical mucus is present during the ovulation phase of the menstrual cycle. During ovulation the cervical mucus takes on the colour and consistency of an eggwhite which is why this time is called the time of 'eggwhite cervical mucus'. The eggwhite cervical mucus is an indicator that the optimum time for conception has arrived.
By taking notice of the changes in your cervical mucus, you can track your cycle more accurately, and always know where you are in your cycle. By tracking these changes over a number of months, you can get a very good indication of your exact ovulation times and use this as a guide for knowing when the optimum time for conception is. - 31802
