Some women find it difficult to identify their cervical mucus after having intercourse. This is understandable as semen and cervical mucus look very similar and share similar properties? – both cervical mucus and semen are in charge of transporting and nourishing sperm?. However, if you examine them closely, you might be able to tell that cervical mucus, unlike semen, is clear (less white) and quite stretchy in texture. As long as you are consistent in the way in which you enter your data into your DuoFertility reader you will be able to tell after only a few months whether or not you have been identifying your cervical mucus accurately.

Some people recommend the Kegel exercise as a way to eject semen after intercourse in order to make it easier to identify cervical mucus. We do not think that this is a good idea if you are trying to conceive. Even though most of the sperm will probably have already reached the uterus?, in terms of maximising your fertility it wouldn’t make sense to try and eject a proportion of the sperm in order to increase the accuracy of your cervical mucus record. You will be able to assess your fertile window? by using the DuoFertility technology anyway thanks to the temperature shift.
