Answer 1

Not sure. But this question sure spoiled a good dinner.

Answer 2

Cervical Fluid is the mucus that is secreted from the cervix. It is produced by the hormone estrogen in the first phase (follicular phase) of a monthly cycle. Fertile Cervical Fluid is necessary for conception. It helps keep sperm alive for up to five days. It also protects the sperm from the acidity in the vagina. It assists the sperm in swimming up to the fallopian tube so fertilization can take place.

The last day on which fertile Egg White Consistency Cervical Mucus (EWCM) is observed is considered your day of "peak fertility".

Here is are two neat video clips from sperm swimming normally through cervical mucus and abnormal mucus. This was found on the Center for Reproductive Medicine in the UK.

Impaired movement of sperm through cervical mucus
You can check your cervical mucus by wiping your vaginal area with a tissue. Observe the tissue. Close the tissue around the cm and open it. Is it stretchy? EWCM should stretch 1-10 inches. You can also insert two fingers into the vaginal cavity and pull the mucus from the cervix. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with a anti-bacterial soap prior to doing this. Do not do this if you suspect infection.

Stages of Cervical Fluid: Post Menses

Stage 1: Lasting 2 - 3 days CM is Sticky or Gummy (S)
Stage 2: Lasting 2- 4 days: CM is Creamy, Milky, Lotion Like - Beginning of your fertile period (C)
Stage 3: Lasting 1-5 days: Egg white Cervical Fluid - At this time you are very fertile. (E)
Stage 4: Dry, Moist or Sticky (Infertile)

Peak fertile cervical mucus is thin and stretchy. After ovulation, progesterone abruptly suppresses the peak mucus and the mucus pattern continues with sticky mucus for a day or two, and then returns to dryness.

Egg White Cervical Fluid

How Long do you have it: Typically women in their mid twenties have it for approximately 5 days, by mid-thirties, only 1-2 days, but this is not the rule. Many women have several days of EWCM late into their thirties.

Look and Feel: The Cervical Mucus will look and have the consistency of egg whites. It is slippery to the touch and if pulled between the fingertips will stretch 1 - 10 inches.

Color: The color can be clear or iridescent and extremely wet. If your CM has an unusual odor, consult your physician, this may be a sign of infection. If your CM has the consistency of cottage cheese, this may be a sign of a yeast infection, also consult your physician.

There are natural ways to improve cervical mucus. Some women have have what is called Hostile Cervical Mucus.

After ovulation and under the effect of progesterone, the mucus becomes thick and sticky. Sperm cannot penetrate it. Once the sperm are in the mucus, they can stay there for a few days acting as a sperm reservoir. It can also be highly acidic and can kill the sperm.

If you are unable to naturally improve hostile cervical mucus, you can opt for Intra-Uterine-Insemination (IUI). The semen is injected into the uterus bypassing hostile cervical mucus.

INCREASING CERVICAL MUCUS

Cut back on caffeine and don't smoke!

Drinking at least ten 6oz glasses of water a day.

Evening Primrose Oil: 1,000 IU per day should be taken
from Cycle Day 1 to Ovulation.

Flax Seed Oil: 2,000 mg per day from Ovulation to AF.

Red Raspberry: 1,000 mg daily: Start anytime in cycle.
Can be taken during pregnancy until a month prior to labor/delivery.
Strengthens the uterine lining which in turn lengthens luteal phase

Answer 3

Maybe, but probably not.
Sometimes childbirth 're-arranges' the hormones a bit, so use protection until you want to concieve again.
I have had friends with this condition who were able to get pregnant by insemination, but I don't know of any personally who had another baby without help.

Answer 4

I continually have my better half placed on a condom and that i'm on the pill (Loestrin 24 Fe) additionally. The pill could no longer maintain you from getting an STD, so that is greater effective to be secure then sorry, distinctly in case you have casual intercourse. i've got been with the comparable guy for an prolonged time now, regardless of the undeniable fact that that is nonetheless had to placed on a condom. The pill nonetheless has that slender danger of failing.

Answer 5

Sadly, most of these respondents are very ill-informed. It is possible to develop antibodies to spermatozoa and this will result in the inability to become pregnant through traditional intercourse. I guess most people missed the part about you having been through artificial insemination.

Pregnancy can indeed alter your hormones post delivery but this is your immune system at work and it is unlikely that will change.

Good luck :)
