The day before and the day of ovulation, your cervical mucus becomes very slippery, kind of acting as additional lubricant.

Your body's trying to have you have sex so that you get pregnant.

Exactly.

And so when you ovulate, it goes about four-tenths of a degree up compared to baseline.

Very specific.

It also entails like knowing your body really well and having your body not change because of stress or because of a fever or because of a vaginal infection.

Yeah.

And so it just depends on how much that person was producing.

Right.

So some people will produce a larger volume and so it'll come out in a larger quantity and therefore have more propulsion and, you know, actually get onto the dish.

Okay.

And for others that only produce a few drops in order to transfer it, like you need to kind of push it onto a container.

And so that's when they have to push their penis against the dish to be able to transfer it so we're not losing any specimen.

What we found was that there were very, very few samples that had motile sperm greater than one million sperm per milliliter.

Mm-hmm.

The majority of people had no sperm in their pre-ejaculate whatsoever.

It wasn't consistent.

So the same person could sometimes have sperm of high quantities in their pre-ejaculate and sometimes not have it, meaning that sometimes they're at higher risk of pregnancy and sometimes they're not.

Oh.

A rather shy smile.

He doesn't look dominant at all.

It's more like, come home, I give you a hug.
