Some more:

Cervical Mucus observations

Your cervical mucus changes with the levels of hormone present in the blood stream. Early in the follicular phase cervical mucus is non existent or it is sticky, tacky, and often white, yellow or opaque in appearance.

As the levels of estrogen rise the cervical mucus becomes clearer, wetter and thinner, when the estrogen levels peak (just prior to ovulation) the cervical mucus becomes jelly like, pliable and elastic or stretchable, resembling raw egg white, often termed Egg White Cervical Mucus (not all women experience this kind of mucus). At the time of ovulation, the wet cervical mucus ceases.

Ovulation occurs (with 85% of women) on the day the wet or EWCM ceases, and (with 10% of women) the day after the EWCM has ceased. The clear, thin, wet mucus is produced up to 6 days prior to ovulation, this is fertile mucus. The EWCM is produced immediately prior to ovulation, this is highly fertile mucus.

Sperm cannot live in an environment free from fertile mucus, but can survive for up to 3-5 days in the nourishing environment this cervical mucus provides.

The average life span of a healthy sperm is between 18 -72 hours however some are still viable for up to 5 days, there is doubt whether 5 day old sperm would be capable of fertilizing an ovum, but to be on the safe side we will assume it is possible

I find these just through typing in different terms into Google-this I typed EWCM

This was from the Sheknows board here is the link

Re: TTC Tips

Got a question for you...Should you strive to produce more CM? Does more CM give you a better chance of getting pregnant? If I usually have a decent amount (I think?), should I try to increase it still? I think it's been adequate, but if more helps aid the sperm, then I'll be doing all of these if I have to!!

Oh, we used Pre-Seed during O I think too, if that matters.

THANKS!
