Ferning

Postby FSUNavyWife » Sat Oct 16, 2010

Hi! This is my first cycle using the FertileFocus, and of course I got really excited when I saw a little bit of ferning on Day 13. Day 14 brought a little more ferning - maybe 1/3 of the "view," fluid increase, and some O pain. And that was all I got! Day 15, nothing. Today (Day 16), nothing.

Does it matter if the whole "view" isn't filled with the fern pattern? Is there such a thing as a weak ovulation??

My current routine includes:
~ Zymessence
~ Baby & Me multi
~ royal jelly
~ vitex
~ maca
~ evening primrose oil
~ FertileCM (fluid is an issue, so I decided to use both)
~UltraGreens & Maca powder (I can't stomach the smoothies, so I've been mixing these together with 1T chia seeds in 1/2c unsweetened applesauce and just swallowing it ~ much easier for me.)

This month is a wash anyway, as my hubby has been deployed for 6mo and is just about to come home. But I'm wondering if I need to change something up for next month?? Or is that little bit of ferning ok??

You will see a couple of ferning days, with one at the end being really strong. The strong one is a sign that ovulation is about to occur. There is an image of it here: http://www.naturalfertilityshop.com/Ovulation-Microscope-p/fesaovte.htm


Any ferning is a sign of leading up to ovulation. It does not have to fill the enitre view.
