Hello girls. Ok, a quick question, but a long one. I think I O either today cd 21 (maybe as we speak) or tomorrow. My fertility monitor read "high fertility" yesterday (Wed) morning and ended up bding that morning of before I even tested on my monitor and then sure enough I turned it on, peed on the testing sticks and it read high with an eggie symbol. Last night we bd again and then again this morning (just covering our ground) I felt cramps mostly yesterday and now so far a queesy this morning and more cramping (not sharp pains but like af cramps) so my question is, if I am Oing or about too, I have NO cm or ewcm at all, I am dry as a bone (and it hurts to have sex without "safe sperm lub" around the vaginia opening (sorry, tmi) and when I check my cp way inside I can tell that my cervix is soft, high and open but even at the opening of my cervix when I insert a finger way inside, I still do not pull out any cm and what little I do tends to be whitish not stretchy. Yesterday morning when we first bd (before I checked my monitor for high fert.) my dh came back from the bathroom after bding and said "well you must of gotten that mucus stuff, it was all over me in clumps (sorry, way too much info but had to) and then I went into the bath room myself and checked cervix and yes, when I pulled out my finger sure enough it was white and clumpy not the cm I'd expect to have right before Oing.
I just started taking Robitussion, but started it late (about 5 days ago) not knowing to start taking it the day of af thru O (now I know) and it is not helping to thin it out at all. They said in order to get pg for the sperm to live within the fertile mucus you must produce it so if I'm not, will I not get pg even if I O? I was also told that if you have no cm for sperm to survive in you must bd on day of O so the sperm can hit the egg immediately without dying off. Any truth to this and anyone else experience no to little cm and get pg?
Thanks for your advice. Also, I just purchased some pre-seed for lubercation and has not arrived yet. Anyone use this and when do you insert it in? You only get 6 applications for $20.00 so do you use it on high to peak fert. days when your about to O for more fertile mucas?

cd 21 (Oing today?)
"Pre-seed" is suppose to be quite good, though I've never tried it myself. Just follow the directions and due to the cost, I'd think you would just want to use it at your fertile time.
GL to you!!!
I hope you catch that eggie!

Most likely you aren't Oing yet since you only have high fertility and not much CM. The high on the Fertility monitor means your estrogen levels have risen. Within a couple more days you should have a surge of luteinizing hormone (LH) that triggers ovulation. When the LH is detected you will get a "peak" reading on the monitor. You probably o within 1-2 days of getting the peak reading. I also think your CM should be getting wetter, stretchier each day until you do o. I think you are doing the right thing to BD as soon as you see high because you never know how quick you will o after that. Just keep BDing until it goes back down to low. I agree with Tara that you can still get PG if you don't see EWCm, so don't stress over that part too much, although I have heard that robi can help, and water etc. and avoid allergy medicines or anything antihistimine, cause that dries you up.
Good Luck!
Well hopefully the no cn won't have an effect like you said then. I was just told the sperm could not live long without the fertile mucus so if thats the case and they need to have 12 hrs. to penetrate the egg, they might not survive that long if the cm is not there to help move 'em along. I don't know if I'm making sense or not, I am just wondering why around my most fertile time I am so darn dry, it makes bding a lot more painful like I said. I feel like I'm taking Clomid or something, I've heard being dry is a side effect from that. We'll see if all the bding paid off, we will bd again tomorrow morning (don't think I can handle another day today, plus we bd this morning) and then tomorrow morning to cover both high fert. days plus the day after O.
Thanks for responding Tara.

cd 21 (O'ed today???)
I met to say "peak fert." that my monitor read for 2 days now, NOT high, I got 4 high days on my fert. monitor then it read "peak" yesterday and today. So according to the monitor, I have already had my LH surge and this is my concer is why I am so dry with a surge indicating O very soon and my cp is in the O'lating position and I'm feeling crampy etc.
Thanks. Sorry for the confusion.
