Regarding Fertility/ovulation

I read your update so I'm sure everyone is different, but we (my husband and I) personally have this one figured out. Without providing TMI, if we TTC the day following the most clear, stretchy cervical mucous, we are pregnant (has happened 4 times now!). I would wait at least 3-5 days after seeing it to prevent pregnancy. On the front side, we were TTC for 13 mos. on the day of the mucous to no avail. So for us, it's always the period of time following it. Stay safe!

it is different for each person but it is present very close and durring ovulation. if youare trying to pinpoint when you ovulate there are better ways, chart your basel temp or get an ovulation kit. I sware by the kits I have gotten pregnant on the 1st try with all 3 of my kids using them.

Hi, L.
I got pregnant during this time.
Just wanted you to know. D.

I actually just asked my OBGYN this question since i was producing this mucus more than most people because of a problem im having. anyways he said "your body normally produces this mucus all month long, just thinner and less of it, aprox 1 week before ovulation the mucus will become pretty thick and stretchy. As the egg leaves the ovary and becomes ready for fertilization is about the time the mucus thins out and becomes less noticable again" id say you should always practice protected sex if you arnt trying to get pregnant. Even being told my chances of getting pregnant were extremely low due to the fact that i wasnt ovulating anymore i still got pregnant...
