Progesterone causes a rise in the basal body temperature -the
temperature before rising and after resting for at least 3 hours.
As your cycle progress your temperature will change in relation to
the hormonal changes taking place. Body temperature is usually lower
during the first part of the cycle, and in most women it usually rises
slightly with ovulation and remains up during the second part until
just before your next period.
Recording each day's temperature helps to indicate when ovulation has occurred, and cannot be used to predict ovulation.
As
your cycle progress your cervical fluid and vaginal sensations will
change. In particular in the days before ovulation it will become
fertile to allow the sperm a chance to reach and fertilise the egg.
The complete absence of cervical fluid is a strong indicator of infertility.
Oestrogen and progesterone influence the quantity and the quality
of your cervical secretions (cervical fluid). Depending upon what
the quality of your fluid will affect the sperms ability to live and
to reach the egg.
What you will experience through your cycle.
-
Dry: No fluid is present or there is just a slight dampness that dissipates quickly on exposure to air. The equivalent vaginal sensation is "dry," as well.
-
Sticky – A less fertile-type of fluid, not very conducive to supporting either sperm motility or lifespan. This may correspond to a Moist vaginal sensation. (Oestrogen levels are low)
- Creamy – A lotion-like type of fluid, which can support sperm for longer periods than the sticky-quality type. This may correspond to a Wet vaginal sensation.
- Eggwhite – The most fertile quality cervical fluid, it is clear, stretchy, and slippery. This type of cervical fluid resembles raw eggwhite, hence the descriptive name. This may correspond to a Lubricative vaginal sensation.
Good quality cervical fluid is one of the best methods to naturally predict when to time intercourse
The
opening of the uterus is a thick muscle known as the cervix. As ovulation
approaches, the same hormones that cause cervical fluid to be secreted
also cause changes in the position, texture, and opening of the cervix.
-
During infertile periods (Phase 1 and 3), the cervix is low, firm and closed (during Phase 3, it is closed tightly). It is so low that it is fairly easy to reach for observation purposes.
-
As fertility increases, the cervix rises in position, becomes softer, and starts to open.
-
At peak fertility, the opening of the cervix is about 15 mm wide.
These changes make it easier for sperm to reach the ovum -- if the cervix didn't open, conception wouldn't take place. If the cervix didn't close tightly after ovulation, the uterus and fertilized egg could become infected. The cervix has to open somewhat at menstruation to allow the endometrium to be shed.
