I am trying to conceive and I am confused about when to have sex in reguards to cervical mucus. My last period was 10/27/13. I started having some ovulation discomfort 11/8/13, egg white mucous on 11/11/13, and watery mucous on 11/12/13. We had sex on 11/7,11/8,11/10 and 11/11. Was that right or did my fertile period start after the egg whites? I also still have ovulation discomfort. I am just confused on how to tell best when the egg is realsed?
Hi, To know exactly when ovulation has occurred is a little difficult. You can predict it happening within 12 hours with a basal body temperature chart while ovulation kits can predict within 30 hours. Ovulation is usually associated with watery discharge. In a regular cycle, ovulation correspond to the 14th day before the onset of the next period, i.e., it occurs on the 14th day in a 28-day cycle and on the 16th day in a 30-day cycle. Intercourse should take place at least on alternate days during the fertile period. Hope this helps.
