<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I am trying to conceive and I am confused about when to have sex in reguards to cervical mucus. My last period was 102713. I started having some ovulation discomfort 11813, egg white mucous on 111113, and watery mucous on 111213. We had sex on 117,118,1110 and 1111. Was that right or did my fertile period start after the egg whites? I also still have ovulation discomfort. I am just confused on how to tell best when the egg is realsed?  <response>: Hi, To know exactly when ovulation has occurred is a little difficult. You can predict it happening within 12 hours with a basal body temperature chart while ovulation kits can predict within 30 hours. Ovulation is usually associated with watery discharge. In a regular cycle, ovulation correspond to the 14th day before the onset of the next period, i.e., it occurs on the 14th day in a 28-day cycle and on the 16th day in a 30-day cycle. Intercourse should take place at least on alternate days during the fertile period. Hope this helps.
