Hello how are you all. i was wonderring if this seemed nornal. SO in may i had a pretty much normal period but sense it was toward the end of the month it wond up going into the beginng of june. however i did not have a period in june. i did have one n july. i dont keep a chart or anything unless i see something i think is weird and then i only jot it dwn lol. ok so look at my jots i see where i have written something about the 1st of june so im thinking this is when i started my period. ok so now on the 30th of july i noticed cm and a strii ck of blood lasted about 3 days. you see the thing is when i saw it i was thinking geezs i just ended my period . i guess i need to start keeping up with this stuff. i have heard that you can spot durring ov and this means you are fertile. could this have been inplantation bleeding. i have not seen any blood sense. i really cant remember how long my period was last month but i think it was short. o well hope i have not confussed anyone. maybe i can remember more later.lol guess i just needed to typ it down. baby dust to all of you.
soulaharny- in regards to your question about ovualting, dont feel bad that is one of the hardest thing about falling preggie knowing when you ovulate. some suggestions though..the female body has this ability to tell us that were horny!! hah yes i know silly, but it isour bodies way of telling us that we r at our peak, we ready to reproduce, it may start to get quiet wet down there. what "normally" happens, i say normally coz everyone is different so hopefully this helps you. after you finish you period you may go through a patch thats kinda like the desert..its dry and if you try to have sex it may hurt or take longer to become wet. then at some stage it starts to open up down there with incresed cervical mucus/discharge..whe you have sex at this time it should be more comfortable and easy. then after ovulation it goes back to be dry..for some!! another tip if your trying to conceive is if you try really hard to have an orgasim during sex this can shoot the little spermen all the way up to the waiting ship..hahah hope this helps :)
hey adowden prehaps you we ovulating?? often when you ovulate the discharge can be yellowish with a string type texture to it. i know when i am at peak ovulation mine is like that. just a suggestion..:)
