Lack of cervical fluid

[Skittles11]

Hello This has been bothering me. I had a failed IVF transfer in July.

I had my withdrawal bleed as expected and during that cycle I had absolutely no cervical fluid. I did have some fresh red blood around Day 18, which my clinic said was most likely hormone fluctuations after my cycle.

Fast forward to now, my next cycle. Again I have had absolutely no cervical fluid whatsoever.

It just feels dry down there and I'm on Day 13 of the cycle.

For my recent cycle I had a prostap injection (but the injection was in June), could this be linked to that?

I think I can't possibly be ovulating (I haven't done the ovulation sticks).

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Thanks all xx

hi Skittles, do you normally track ovulation and know roughly when you ovulate, when you do?

In terms of dryness I’ve become like this lately so what I do nowadays is I drink a glass of pink grapefruit juice every day from the first day of my cycle, and this dramatically increases cervical fluid in my experience.

Thanks for this

I used to track ovulation and would usually ovulate about Day 13 and had cervical fluid leading up to that point. More recently I haven't been tracking because I found it was stressing me out but I guess now I am lacking information.

Thank you for the advice re grapefruit juice xx

I know what you mean, it’s hard to know without monitoring. Pleasure, hope you see a difference too xx

hi skittles. I’m so sorry about your failed ivf. After my failed ivf I didn’t ovulate until day 35 with my usual being day 18-20. Maybe yours is going to be delayed too. The second cycle after was a bit late but not as drastic and by the forth it was back to my usual dates. Hope you’re ok xo
