Mucous

Oh my.

I just discovered that I can work out when I'm fertile by sticking my finger up my vagina, wiggling it around a bit, and checking the resulting gooey finger for something resembling egg-whites.

I tried it. Yep - egg-whitey stuff. But is it bad to look at your own cervical mucous and get cravings for scrambled eggs? Somehow that just seems wrong.

(does that sound a little less pompous?)

This is true. All except the scrambled eggs bit. Cervical mucous that looks and feels like egg white means your body's gearing up for fertilisation.

The number of women I've heard scream, "Oh, GROSS" and wonder how on earth anyone could do that... only to twirl with enthusiasm as soon as they start trying to get pregnant. It's scary.
