FertileCM

Today I wanted to talk about the FertileCM from Fairhaven Health because I am already noticing a big change in my cervical mucus. This description is coming directly off the Fairhaven Health website:


"FertileCM for Women is a balanced dietary supplement to promote the healthy production of fertile cervical mucus – the bodily fluid central to fertility and conception. The ingredients in FertileCM have also been shown to support female arousal and sexual sensitivity and strengthen the uterine lining, both of which can increase chances for successful conception.

Fertile cervical mucus during ovulation is central to getting pregnant, helping to nourish and protect sperm and facilitate sperm transport. A woman's cervical mucus changes throughout her cycle (volume and consistency in the first half of the cycle will differ from cervical mucus after ovulation takes place). In order for conception to occur, sperm must swim through the cervix and uterus and ultimately to the fallopian tube where fertilization occurs. The ingredients in FertileCM promote the production of healthy, fertile-quality cervical secretions by hydrating and thinning the cervical mucus and ensuring a proper pH balance for a vaginal environment conducive to conception."

I have been keeping  track of my cervical mucus, and I noticed that it is changing pretty dramatically by the day. The last two days of my period, when I was spotting, my CM was pretty dry. Day 5 of my cycle, my CM was sticky, then the next day (today) it is already watery!

When a woman is most fertile, her cervical mucus will be stretchy, you can take it between two fingers and it will stretch out pretty far. This allows the sperm to survive in the cervix, when traveling towards the egg. According to my fertility calendar, I am supposed to ovulate next week, so I am looking forward to reporting more changes in my CM!
