Q: no noticable change in fluids

asked by: Meklia on July 20th, 2008

Is that normal? I've been trying to chart my cervical fluids, but for two months now theres not really alot of change(as in nothing described like what i've read occurs around ovulation) and i check daily. Is that common?

also last may i had the depo provera shot, just one it had such horrible reactions i never got it again, it wore off in august of 07 or so. I've heard it can affect fertility for up to a year after wards, or does that only apply to more then one round of it?

sorry i'm asking this here i didnt want to make so many posts.

You ovulate 14 days after the first day of your period ... charting fluids often proves unsuccessful, as everyone's different and some people don't experience disscharge.

thanks i knew the date thing, but i had no idea that some women dont have any discharge, I guess i'll start looking into a fertility monitor or something ofd the sort

Yeah I never had any until i became pregnant, its rare for women to experience none but a fair bit experience very little and have no change during ovulation.

Actually thats not entirely true. MOST women ovulate somewhere around 14 days after but MANY do not. If it was true that all women ovulated exactly 14 days after their period then there wouldn't be so many "surprise" babies that occur when women have unprotected sex thinking they're safe

Ovulation occurs on the 14th day or there abouts, the reason why woman get pregnant at different times is all to do with how long the released egg waits to be fertilised.

Some women ovulate at 14 days, others at 18 days, some at 20 days and some prior to the 14. It completely depends on the woman. This is especially difficult for someone to track who does not have regular periods.

This is so not true. Not every woman ovulates at that magical "14 day" mark. The reason women get pregnant at different times is because in fact that each woman is different and each has a different cycle.

The only true way to know when you are ovulating if in fact you are ovulating is to chart your temps using a basal body thermometer. A woman's ovulation can even change from month to month. Additionally, it is refered to as ovulating 14 days BEFORE your NEXT period, not AFTER your LAST period.

When you have irregular periods, you most definietly do not ovulate 14 days after your last period. You are lucky to ovulate at all. Also if you have PCOS.

To the Original Poster...

Another way to chart your cervical fluids is to take a sample internally. I am usually very scant for most of the month and that is how I have to take a sample if I am trying to chart my CF.

Yes, everywhere I read it also says 14 days before your next period and in some cases even 11 days before your expected period. I personally haven't been able to temp, because I forget, but I've used OPK's and it can also help determine if (and when) you ovulate. I've also got the tip about Evening Primrose Oil 1000mg daily to boost cm production and I'm finding that it actually works. This is my first cycle taking it and I can definitely feel a difference.
