Hi ladies,

I have a question about detecting and describing the changes in my cm. I am new to this and dh and I figured that if we just do the BD every day that we can't go wrong and miss the egg, right? Well, this is making it very hard for me to describe my cm. After we BD I usually just stay in bed and fall asleep so the sperm won't leak out. But, in the morning, I have a lot of semen leaking out and I can't get a handle on my CM. Any advice or suggestions? Sorry to be so graphic.

I just read yesterday in TCOYF that doing keegal exercises afterward will help push the semen out. She says laying in bed after BD isn't going to do anything. Shortly after DH has done his thing, the sperm should already be inside the cervix if there is enough CM to support it.

I would try this: When you get up in the morning, do some kegel exercises to help push out the semen that may still be there. Then wait till mid-morning or afternoon, and check your cm then. Check it again at night before you BD. Hope this helps!
