Good students

Soooooooooooooooooo…. We practiceddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd (insert coy expression here).

It all went well and, if you want further details, you’re not getting any. Sorry.
Some things must stay sacred, wouldn’t you agree?

Ok so, I need to bring you all up to date, here. So, we practiced, and we practiced some more. Apart from all the other months when we weren’t exactly the best students, this month, we over studied. I think I tired poor hubby out!

So, today is Day 14 – ovulation day. And it seems to all be happening just when Dr. Wow said it would.

So, Sat, I surged. Sunday, the surge was still happening. And, today, it stopped so according to the Ovulation Test people, “ovulation occurs sometime in the day and a half following the first day of the LH surge”.

So, smack bang on target, today is the holy day.

To be totally blunt, you also have to seriously let your fingers to do walking, talking and gawking.

Poking and proding to be more precise. Read on to find out why:

1. Clean nominated finger.
2. Two, strip from waist down
3. Stick clean finger up there
4. Reach as high as you can
5. And feel for your cervix.

Gone too far? We’re all friends by now, aren’t we?

To share some important information, the cervix should be tested throughout your whole cycle when you’re trying to have a baby. When you’re ovulating, your cervix needs to be high, soft and open. If you’re testing your cervix any other time, it’ll be low, hard and closed.

So, what all this means is that when you’re about to ovulate, the cervix sits higher and becomes soft so the sperm hasto swim through it, and past it, to the fallopian tubes, where it swims around, waiting to race after the egg that’s been released. This is the only time of the cycle your cervix will be soft, high and open.

While it sounds very confusing and freaky at the moment, trust me, when you start poking up there throughout your cycle, you’ll soon learn what soft, high and open means. Soon after ovulation day, the cervix will lower, feel closed and become hard again.

I got all this information from what’s become my baby-making BIBLE. It’s called “Making Babies” by Sami. S David MD, and Jill Blakeway, Lac.

I’m not in the medical profession so can only share what I’ve learnt, but all readers must consult experts whether in a book or in person for advice on how to conceive, as everyone’s different.

But, if you want one piece of advice – buy this book. I found it hard to find in Sydney, but you can get it on amazon and it only took a few days to arrive. I was so excited to recieve and it’s fun and easy to read. Go buy it!

Oh and, happy poking. It’s kinda fun to follow your body through the ovulation process and once you start doing the cervix test, it’s becomes as normal as going to the bathroom. Just wait and see.
