Here is the situation. For the last two or three days I have had alot of cm. I am on day 13. My husband and I bd last night. Today my cm is a bit more EW like. So my question is should we bd tonight or was last night the right time? I do not normally have a day that cm is completely EW. I also noticed A bit of blood mixed in with the cm when I was checking my cervix. I have never noticed this. What do you think? Thanks Stacey

Stacey, you definitely want to bd today if possible bc the EWCM is the most fertile kind; therefore the sperm have the best chance of survival in the EWCM.

My husband is working late tonight. The chances of bd tonight are slim. Is there a chance that I could get pg from last night? I have read that sprem can live for 3 to 5 days in fertile cm.

If your CM was creamy, and since it sounds like you might be O'ing right now, you probably have it covered. Good luck!

Of course, it still wouldn't hurt to pounce on your DH when he gets home... ;)

I really hope this is it. I have been TTC since April. I went off BC and have been waiting to have normal cycles. This is the first month that we are really TTC. I have been read alot about and visiting this board alot. I think we have the right time. One more question. Does taking hot baths create a problem when TTC?

From what I understand, it doesn't matter for you, but hot tubs or very high temp baths are not recommended for your DH bc it can affect his sperm.


I think most people just give a little time after BDing before they bathe or shower so the sperm have time to pass through the cervix, but I don't think they need more than 20-30 minutes.
