What Is My Body Trying To Tell Me? - Learn To Recognise The 3 Tell Tale Fertility Signs

There are a lot of of fertility signs that you can begin to remember and watch for during your monthly ovulation and menstrual cycle. Being familiar with your own fertility cycle, and being able to pinpoint the tell tale signs which are your body's way of telling you when you are at your most fertile, are great ways to be sure that you are taking all of the right steps on your journey to conception and pregnancy. Keeping a daily fertility chart or diary is a great way of getting familiar with your fertility signs

Fertility Sign # 1 Basal Body Temperature One of the most conventionally perceived fertility symptoms is the rise in (waking) Basal Body Temperature (BBT) which occurs when you are ovulating. In the first half of a woman's cycle, pre-ovulation, her typical waking temperature ranges between 36 .1C/97.0 F and 36.4/97.4 F. After ovulation her waking BBT temperature rises to about 36.5 C/97.5F to 37.0C/98.6F.

The temperature rise continues until the woman gets her period. The best way to utilize BBT as a fertility symptom is to record a daily record or graph of your waking temperature. When you have at least one month's worth of data, you will be able to begin looking for patterns of low and high temperatures you average temperature will be lower before ovulation and higher after ovulation.

It is important that you are aware that there will be other factors in your day to day activities that can affect your waking BBT, these include: * Having a fever * Drinking alcohol the night before * Getting less than three hours of sleep before you take your temperature reading * Allowing large variances in the times of day that you are taking your temperature * Sleeping on an electric blanket (if you don't normally use one)

Fertility Sign # 2 Cervical Fluid (Cervical Mucus Cervical fluid or cervical mucus is another excellent fertility signal that you can use to chart your fertility. You may or may not have detected that your cervical fluid changes in viscosity and quantity throughout your monthly cycle. Essentially, these changes happen because during ovulation your body is trying to provide a hospitable environment to transport the sperm to the egg. Outside of the time that you have an egg ready to be fertilised, your body does not need to secrete sperm-friendly cervical fluid. To use the observation of cervical fluid as a fertility indicator, keep a record of the changes (to your cervical fluid) that you become aware of throughout your cycle. When you are at your most fertile you will notice that your cervical fluid resembles raw egg white the consistency is extremely slippery and stretchy. After your estrogen levels have peaked during the most fertile part of your cycle, you will notice your cervical fluid quickly changes and dries up.

Fertility Sign # 3 Cervical Position Your cervix goes through a lot of changes throughout your monthly fertility cycle, learning to notice your cervical changes will give you with further fertility signs. As with the cervical fluid, the cervix prepares itself to be hospitable to sperm and the concequent prospect of pregnancy. You can reach your cervix through your vagina with your finger tips; it is often described as feeling like the tip of your nose. Around the time that you are ovulating, your cervix changes to become soft and open, to allow sperm easier passage to the uterus. If you are using cervical position as a fertility sign, when you are approaching ovulation, your cervix will feel soft, high (extending into the vagina) open and wet. These sensations are contrasted to the feeling of your cervix outside of the fertility period of your cycle at these times the cervix will feel firm, low, closed and non-wet.
