Tracking Cycles
Questions:
- How long can sperm survive in the womb and how long is the window of opportunity open once I ovulate?
- My basal body temperature hasn't risen in two months. What does that mean?
- My BBT rarely goes above 98; It's usually in the low 97s and goes into the 96s. How does this impact my fertility?
- What is the likelihood that I have a serious fertility problem?
- I am a shift worker. Is there any way I can monitor my basal temperature?
- If you have very light spotting for two or three days before your period actually begins, which day do you count as the first day of your period?
- My cycle only lasted 2 1/2 days and is lighter than normal. Is that going to interfere with us trying to conceive? Also, will it increase our chances if he ejaculates a couple days before my fertile time?
- It has been 41 days since the first day of my last period. Is it normal to go that long in between periods?
