I'm just wondering if I'll need to have a cervical stitch if we decide to go for a second pregnancy. Last time, during my second trimester, I had a cervical cerclage because of two previous miscarriages. My first child is 2 years old now, and I'm curious if this procedure would be necessary again. Any advice you could share would be really helpful.

Since you had a cervical cerclage during your second trimester in your previous pregnancy due to a risk of miscarriage, it's possible that your doctor may recommend a cervical stitch again for a subsequent pregnancy kindly consult your gynecologist

I'm trying to get pregnant and my husband and I have been having unprotected sex since the 8th day of my cycle, though not every day. We last had sex on the 15th day, which was a Saturday. Today I've noticed a clear, sticky discharge and I'm really confused. Does this mean there's still a chance I could conceive this month, or does it mean I've already ovulated and missed the window? I'm 31 and really anxious to conceive, can you help me understand what's going on?

A woman gets pregnant around the days when ovulation occurs. The average time of ovulation is the 14th day of an average length (28 day) menstrual cycle. Ovulation time vary for each individual, and can occur from 12th to 19th day of the cycle . Sperm can live up to 3 to 5 days in a womans reproductive tract, so it is possible to become pregnant if unprotected sex occurs 5 days before ovulation. The life span of the typical egg is relatively short, only around 24 hours. If fertilization does not occur within that time frame, the egg will die
