Fertile Cervical Mucus For Longer Than Usual

Here is an interesting post I read online that seems to be quoting an explanation by a health care professional who assists patients with fertility issues and artificial insemination. I am assuming an obstetrician or a fertility specialist, however, the post does not give information on where the information came from or what type of health care professional.

The quote from the post says this, "If there has been no ovulation, despite the pre-ovulation mucus /cervix changes and the attempted LH surge, the mucus stays as egg white cervical mucus (fertile cervical mucus) for longer than expected, and only slowly disappears as the cycle continues. So seeing egg white cervical mucus (fertile cervical mucus) only indicates preparation for ovulation - it is its disappearance that confirms ovulation. For women who regularly miss out on ovulating they will have more egg white cervical mucus than they should, and lasting longer, as there has been no progesterone rise to chase it away."

If you are trying to conceive and you have an unusual amount of days of fertile cervical mucus, known as egg white cervical mucus, there may be a chance you are not ovulating that cycle.

Frida Mom for Post Laparoscopy Care

My Frida Mom Basket for Post-Laparoscopy Care. Why I Love the Frida Mom Line (Even Beyond Motherhood) One of the things I’ve really come to appreciate is how versatile the Frida Mom line is—not just for new moms, but for anyone recovering from abdominal surgeries, such as laparoscopies for endometriosis. After surgery, comfort and gentle care are everything. That’s where the C-section recovery underwear comes in. Even if you haven’t had a baby, the design makes sense—when you have incisions on your abdomen, you need something soft, high-waisted, and non-restrictive. These disposable underwears are a lifesaver compared to standard disposable Depends. The big difference? You can build your own pad system . Start with the underwear. Add a menstrual pad. Layer on a witch hazel perineal liner, perineal cream, or both. Attach an optional heating pad for cramping. It’s completely customizable depending on what your body needs that day. I also want to mention the liners pack...

Skin sensitivity may impact your experiences with these products. Recovering from my laparoscopy has been a journey, and honestly, some days are more uncomfortable than others. Over the past week, I’ve found a few products that have made a huge difference in how I feel—both physically and mentally. Here’s what’s been helping me get through it: 1.
