Sue,

Thank you for responding! I read some info that came with a lens ( pocket
microscope that can check saliva for fertility) and it described this
barrier that is finely woven over the cervix. As fertility occurs, this
barrier becomes open allowing sperm to pass, but only in sperm friendly
mucus. So, it is our job to determine sperm friendly mucus. Since I have
four children, and still nursing #4, I usually am more conservative at
marking thick mucus as potential fertility. I understand all this info that
I read, but I have a block right now...being fearful. Partly it is because
I haven't had a normal cycle yet and I am nervous....how do I get past the
fear and trust my readings/body? Have you or anyone experienced this before
and was there anything that helped you? I would love to hear your or
anyone's comment!

Pam
