Did i ovulate this time?

The large quantities of clear stretching mucus (sometimes seen with blood) are the description of cervical mucus seen under the influence of higher levels estrogen. A woman only ovulates on one day of her menstrual cycle and the egg only lives 12-24 hours. The key to extending the couple's fertility is the cervical mucus. With cervical mucus present, sperm can live in the female body 3-5 days. A woman can ovulate before and up to three days after the last day of clear or stretching mucus or a sensation of lubrication. If you only had on that one day, you might have missed ovulation. We recommend for couples trying to achieve a pregnancy, to have on the days of cervical mucus and for a day or two afterwards. Charting your menstrual cycles using natural family planning can help you identify your fertile and infertile phases; thus better time your acts of to achieve a pregnancy. Best of luck.
