There is a great book called taking charge of your fertility. It teaches you all about your bodiy's fertility signals. Gives tips on how to increase your "fertlility" and has lots of charts and graphs for notes.

Also, try taking a prenatal vitamin daily. It's got lots of folic acid and other nutrients that are good for your body while trying to conceive.

Hi jozzie, i'm a new member as well. To answer your question I don't think that every woman gets the "egg white" cm. I have a regular 28 day cycle and last year november I got pregnant, unfortunately I lost the baby new year's day, and I have never experienced the egg white cm. So it is possible to get pregnant without it.

I agree with foxy. I never noticed the stretchy egg-white type of cm and I always charted my mucus. I did start taking tussin ( equate brand of robbitussin) with the only active ingediant guaifenesin about 2 months ago. And well im 4 weeks now. But only take 2tsp. 4 times a day from day 1 of your period to 3 days after you ovulate.

It may or may not have helped me but I have heard alot of women using it and then conceived. It helps loosen up mucus in your body. Hell 1 bottle only costs $3 and its worth the try.

I also never had stretchy cervcal mucous. I thought I never ovulated but apparently I did because i'm pregnant! Since you have regular cycles, you should be fine. Just keep having lots of sex (especially around day 14 of your cycle).

My doc explained it as more wetness kinda thicker mucus. Been ttc going on month 6 now. Was excited last month b/c I was two days late but af came. Good luck to you!

Ok, so af came again this month but...It was 5 days early!
Me...Miss regularity, down to the second, can pinpoint the time of day its going to start was 5 days early????

Anyone know if ttc can mess with your cycle?

Any kind of stress can affect your cycle and that includes stress associated with ttc. That's why most people tell you to relax and it will happen. Well i'm not going to tell you to relax because i'm ttc as well. And nothing feels worse than to go for 28 years avoiding pregnancy and when you are ready to have kids, having to face the question "i am I fertile?.....Can I have kids?" cause it doesn't happen as quickly as you want it to.
