Start Here: December Cycle Phase 1: Follicular Stage Phase 2: Fertile Stage Phase 3: Ovulation Phase 4: Luteal Phase

My pituitary gland is secreting follicle-stimulating hormone, this stimulates the development of the ovum. It has not surged yet. When it does surge, there will be an indication that ovulation will take place within 24 hours. Currently there is a rise in Estrogen secretion. The increase of the estrogen level causes my body to build up the uterine lining in preparation for the implantation by a fertilized ovum. The increase of  estrogen levels are also responsible for the secretion of mucus from the cervix.  I am at the beginning of my fertile period because I have egg white consistency which for me lasts several days. In some women, however, you many only have one day of EWCM. (My physician prescribed Guaifenesin to Improve Cervical Mucus ) On that day, you should have intercourse. In this type of cervical mucus sperm can live in for up to 5 days, but most likely 3 days. It is important to track your temperatures and cm to see when you are truly fertile. I have to say the ClearPlan Fertility Monitor is worth it's weight in gold. 

My husband has also begun his regimen of Guaifenesin to thin the semen to allow for better motility.

12/17/ 2002   Cycle Day 10   Second day of of high fertility. I have EWCM but it is not abundant. I did not have a lot last cycle either. I don't know if it is possibly from the clomid. I am hoping that it increases closer to Ovulation. I am speculating that I will Ovulate in three or four days. We have been spacing intercourse at least 36 hours apart.  Check out my "Conception Plan" for this month: Conception Plan

12/18/ 2002   Cycle Day 11   Third day of of high fertility. I have very little fertile quality cervical mucus. I am feeling a bit crampy and slight ovulatory aching. I am a little concerned about the CM factor. I have drinking a lot of water and taking Humabid 2x a day, but so far, not a lot.  Hopefully by cycle day 13 I will have more abundant CM. Last Clomid cycle, I did not have good CM until CD12, I had slight EW on CD 11.  I ovulated on CD 15, so perhaps the CM will improve soon.

12/20/ 2002   Cycle Day 13   fifth day of high fertility, but really only second day since I had such scan CM prior. This morning, DH woke up at 5:30am and drank a strong cup of coffee, sat in a tub of cold water to cool down his boys. I did my morning routine. After BD, I was still for 30 minutes with 3 pillows beneath my bottom.  Ovulation is certainly approaching.  5 Days until Christmas! Check out my "Conception Plan" for this month: Conception Plan
