DON"T SEE SLIPPERY FLUID DURING OVALATION

[ozilove]

Hi, Doc
      How possible is it that I will be ovulating without seeing any slippery mucus? But i experience abdominal pains on the 14th day of my cycle.

Not all women get the stretchy cervical mucus. For some, wet cervical mucus is what is considered the most fertile. Also, even though you might not be seeing it, it could still be there, up by the cervix. Have you tried ovulation tests or charting your temperature to see if you ovulate? With the pain you described on the 14th day of your cycle, it does sounds like you do.

Best of luck!

P.S. this is not a doctor's forum. Just a forum for women (and men) dealing with fertility issues. There's a link on the right-hand side of this page to the fertility expert forums if you'd like to post there.

A quick fix would be to use the Pre-seed.  It is a sperm-friendly lubricant that you can use around O time to help those little swimmers out!  There is also a supplement called Fertile CM that some women take, or even a protocol of extra Vitamin B6, but you'd probably want to talk to your doctor about these.  If it's a major concern, your doctor could always do a post-coital test where he could check your mucus around O-time and see how it interacts with the sperm.  This might be a good idea if you've been trying for a while with no success.  Like Heather said though, you could still be having good CM, just not seeing it.  Good luck to you!  :)
