All birth control pills alter cervical mucus. That is one of the mechanisms by which they prevent pregnancy -- the progestin thickens the cervical mucus.
What happens to sperm when you are on birth control?
Sperm is not affected by hormonal birth control; it does the same thing it does if you're not on birth control, except that there's some decrease in how much sperm can get into the uterus (due to thickening of the cervical mucus). Hormonal birth control affects the egg.

Do women on the pill still get fertile looking cervical fluid?
One of the ways that the birth control pill works is to thicken the cervical mucus to reduce the ability of sperm to get through.

mucus build up
I recently just got off birth control its been about 8 days and I have noticed I have had a lot more discharge than normal Its white yellowish cloudy color and creamy is this normal?
Yes, it's very normal. One of the ways hormonal birth control prevents pregnancy is to make the cervical mucus thicker so it's harder for sperm to get through. Once you stop hormonal birth control, you will begin to see a normal cycle of cervical mucus again, which will change throughout your menstrual cycle. If the discharge has no odor and no itching, there is no need for concern.

What is the primary hormone in birth control pills?
All birth control pills contain an artificial progestin, which provides most of the contraceptive effect. The progestin thickens cervical mucus to help block sperm from getting to the egg; inhibits ovulation; affects the sperm to make fertilization difficult; and affects the tubes to make it harder for sperm to get to the egg. Combination birth control pills also contain estrogen, which helps control bleeding and has some impact on ovulation as well.
How birth control shots work?
Like other hormonal BC methods the birth control shot uses progestin to keep a woman's ovaries from releasing eggs (called ovulating). If there is no egg to join with sperm, there can be no pregnancy. The progestin also thickens a woman's cervical mucus, the mucus blocks sperm and keeps it from joining with an egg, if ovulation should occur. Progestin also thins the lining of the uterus, this could prevent pregnancy by keeping a fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus.
