I didn't really start paying attention to my cm until I started trying so I don't know if my cm has gone down over the years. I do know that I get four or five days of cm before my o date.

Have you been tracking your bbt?

No I haven't, but I was also wondering if having a d&c could scar or mess things up. I had one done after my last child with a 13 week misscarriage.
With all five of my pregnancies( 2 of them being micariages) I didn't have to try I just got pregnant. Then a year after my last miscariage we wanted another one and we tried for three months and nothing then we decided we were done, so my husband had a vasectomy. Well lo and behold we had a reversal done and it has been a little over a year since the surgery and we knew it could take up to a year for his swimmers to build back up. We had the 2nd semen analysis done and he is just fine, so I don't know what to think. (is it me now?)
any comments would be appreciated!

There are a few ways to track ovulation. Cm you already know about. That turns to a consistentcy that is like raw egg-whites before ovulation. Ovulation prediction tests (opk) cost about $15 - $35 per month. An opk test meansures the level of the lh hormone, which surges right before ovulation. A woman's bbt (or basel body temperature) is the temperature when she first wakes up in the morning. That rises the day after ovulation by 0.5-1 degree because of a rise in progesterone. Because the temperature rise is so small, you need a more sensitive thermometer to track it.

Looking for the signs of ovulation before or when ovulation occurs will help time attempts. Keeping track of when ovulation occurs, helps you better understand your body and is useful when talking to a doctor about fertility.

I'm 36 and my husband and I have been trying for our first since september.
