| As the time of ovum release approaches, oestrogen levels reach a peak. A woman’s body will give off signals to alert both her and her partner to this period of greatest fertility – remember, the body’s primary instinct is to reproduce! There will be a change in vaginal mucus from scant, thick and sticky to profuse, stretchy and wet. This mucus is there to provide an environment conducive to any sperm that may arrive on the scene. Also, the cervix begins to soften, open and rise slightly in anticipation of sexual union and there is usually a natural increase in libido. Subtle changes can also be | observed in relation to energy levels, bowel movements, sleep patterns, appetite, general well being, concentration levels, creativity, inspiration. Most women feel and look their best at this time, with clear skin and shiny hair. They have a positive aura and give off their most sexy natural odour. The vaginal secretions will be most palatable at this time. The immune system is usually at its strongest during this period too, to ensure that if pregnancy does occur, the new lifeform has the best chance of survival against other illnesses. |
