Cervical mucus is the discharge that is sticky, clear and a little like
raw egg white. Having sex when you notice the cervical mucus is
important, simply because this discharge is what aids sperm in
surviving and swimming to the egg more effectively.
Timing When to Have Sex
Unfortunately, when many women decide to put off having sex until
they notice their cervical mucus discharge, they tend to abstain
completely until it’s the “right time”. They also tend to avoid sex at
other times during the cycle.
This can mean sex becomes a chore or a routine. It becomes less
about love and connection, which can increase strain on a
relationship and increase stress levels for both of you.
Of course, you may also find that, even though the woman might be
at her peak fertility time, you could be reducing the male’s sperm
quality without even knowing it.
You see, if you wait to have sex for a week or two before you notice
the signs of ovulation, you risk your partner’s sperm quality being at
less than peak quality.
This is because a male’s sperm quality and quantity will peak after
only one or two days of abstinence. If you’ve made him wait for 10,
the quality and quantity may not be ideal for optimum fertility rates.
Ideally, if you’re planning to conceive, having sex twice a week,
regardless of the fertility signs can actually strengthen the
connection between you, as well as increase fertility for each of you
at the same time.
