When will you be most fertile if you got your period on the sixth or seventh?

Answer 1

A better wording for this question is...When will you be most fertile? And a great question it is and something every women (and male ) should know. Fertility is NOT based on the number of days past your last period -- so you can't start counting and say, "bingo I'm fertile today because the calendar says so." For most women fertility happens mid-cycle but as we all know the number of days from one period to another can very greatly. DON'T COUNT DAYS! So how do you know when you are fertile? Your body gives three physical signs to tell you. 1.) your morning temperature will be higher than average. Measuring this takes a special thermometer called a basal thermometer that you can buy at any drug store for under $5. You will need to take your temp each morning at the same time before any activity. You will see it jump! This is a pain, but then again so is an abortion or changing diapers for two years! 2.) your daily discharge will increase and become stringy and sticky like egg yoke. This is a high nutrient fluid that both feeds the sperm and lubricates their way to the egg. If you can stretch it between your fingers more than an inch or so -- you are fertile. Tell you partner. This is easy for them to check as well. If your discharge is like egg yoke - tell the guy to take a cold shower before you get naked and romantic. 3.) this takes a gentle touch, but your cervix actually opens up wider and is softer during your fertile time. This is done via a self digital exam, or if you have a loving partner he can tell through the normal foreplay activities. It took me a few months with my wife to discern what I was touching, what was typical and what was like during the fertile time.
