Mucus Monitoring-Ovulation
Attempting to get pregnant. I am a regular moist individual and have felt my vaginal mucus change before and after my cycle. At what texture/type of mucus description do I know it's best to have sex or know I'm ovulating?

Hello,
Around the time of ovulation, the cervical mucus becomes clearer and more slippery than at other times of the month. Egg white cervical discharge is one of the indictors of ovulation and you can try around this time. This is the time when a woman is most fertile. There are few easy ways to chart and monitor your ovulation cycle, by keeping track of your basal body temperature and by using ovulation kits. After you ovulate a woman is able to conceive for about twenty-four hours. A sperm can live for three to five days. So you can conceive anytime during this period. Also it is best to go in for serial ultrasonography for finding out whether you are ovulating or not. You can try having sex regularly five to six days prior to the expected date of ovulation and continue daily until the day after you ovulate. This will increase your chances of conceiving in the desired month. You should start taking folic acid if you are planning to conceive. Exercise daily and reach your optimal weight. Take a healthy diet and stop smoking. For more queries and assistance visit a gynecologist. Hope it helps.
Best luck and regards!
