The following suggestions may be all that is required in order to succeed in achieving pregnancy.
As you go about your normal daily activities, as a woman you know what it feels like when you start your menstruation! A quick check in the bathroom verifies your observations.
About two weeks before menstruation have you ever noticed a similar sensation occurring but when you check you see that it is not the menstrual flow, nor is it seminal or arousal fluids?
You may feel a sticky secretion that develops over the next few days into one that looks stretchy, a little like raw egg white, and gives you a lubricative sensation at the vulva. The last day of this sensation is called Peak Day and is the day of your maximum fertility. You ovulate on the Peak or on the next day, which is the day on which there is a change in sensation to dryness or stickiness. Rarely ovulation is delayed to the second day after the Peak which means you could be still fertile on the third day past the Peak because the egg lives for about 12 hours.
Your best chance of conceiving is to have intercourse during days of mucus secretion with these fertile characteristics, even if there is some spotting, because sperm die without this good satisfactory cervical mucus within a very short time! Mucus will keep sperm alive for about 3 days, rarely up to 5 days.
You may notice that you do not have fertile days in every cycle and that you may only have a few hours of the characteristic lubricative sensation at the vulva in a year! Well, you must call your husband home on that very day in order to conceive.
This information has helped many couples conceive sometimes after years of trying. An accredited teacher will show you how to keep a simple record and you will enjoy seeing a pattern develop that is uniquely your own. She will give you some helpful hints on how to assess stress, which may delay ovulation. She will underline the importance of your emotional relationship with your husband for the achievement of conception.
She will encourage you to return after the birth of your baby, to learn a few commonsense guidelines necessary in order to space your next pregnancy. You will learn about the hormonal see-saw effects of prolactin and estrogen during breastfeeding. Navigating the attempts at ovulation in order to avoid unnecessary abstinence, requires the use of the three Early Day rules applied to these pre-ovulatory days. If you are coming off contraceptive medication she will explain that you may conceive in the first cycle but it may take up to two years, or even longer, for conception to occur. Sometimes there is a miscarriage if conception occurs too soon after coming off contraceptive medication. Your chart will indicate your gradual return to fertility. Keep observing and following the guidelines, while concentrating on improving the conjugal relationship.
Once conception has occurred you may observe some implantation bleeding a few days later. You can count 266 days (plus or minus 6 days) ahead from the day of the Peak, which is very close to ovulation and this will give you the date when you can expect the birth of your baby.
Be sure to read Dr. Evelyn Billings' best seller, The Billings Method which enlightens women all over the world about how their cycles work. It is available in many libraries and has been printed in 22 languages including Mandarin.
Remember to return for refresher follow-up appointments after your baby is born in order to go over the three Early Day rules and one Peak Day rule required in order to understand the return of fertility during such an irregular time as breast-feeding.
Temperature taking, the Sims-Huhner Test, a valuable test which makes sperm counts unnecessary, and the use of hormonal tests such as Prof. James Brown's ovarian
monitor, all belong in the secondary treatment of infertility.
