Tracking Cervical Fluid 101

Tuesday, 30 May 2017

Tracking your cervical fluid is one of those things that stars off as icky, and then ends up being quite normal. We, as women, are not given much rein over our own bodies and wanting an intimate understanding is often met with repulsion from ourselves and others. Let's change that. Knowing yourself is the top priority when it comes to trying to get pregnant, if you don't know these things you are at a disadvantage.

It's obviously possible to get pregnant without knowing and without tracking, but the more you know, ey. While nothing in this sense is 100% reliable in predicting ovulation (basal body temperature is probably your most reliable way to track, but it won't tell you when ovulation is incoming) it does add another layer to opks. Some people can even use only fluid observations to figure out when they're in their fertile week.

Navigating TTC Tracking Apps

Sunday, 14 May 2017

There are so many different apps out on the market, google brings up over 300,000 results, and if you've been actively looking up things to do with TTC you'll have noticed that a lot of your ads are targeted towards them now. I often get one on Facebook to do with natural conception which claims to be as effective as contraception by using temperatures. This is the same as what we will be doing to achieve the opposite. Go figure. I always have to stop myself from commenting the same thing on the adverts.
