Things that may have boosted my fertility and/or chances for those cycles. For example, Preseed helps create a fertile like and sperm-friendly cervical mucus. The kind of cervical mucus you look for on your fertile days. It also prevents me from becoming dry. The Instead Soft Cups hold the sperm closer to the cervix. The Clear Blue Fertility Monitor help monitor my high and peak fertile days. The ovulation tests help me know if I am ovulating and how long my surge is. The charting helps me estimate about when and if I ovulated, and if my luteal phase is too short, too long or just right. Together, I have a better picture of my 20% chance of conception that cycle.
