After your period you will be dryer and as you get closer to ovulation mucus will gradually increase and it will be sticky and cloudy (creamy). RIGHT before you ovulate mucus will increase even more and it will become clear and very slippery, (like egg white) and stretchy. Ovulation will occur at about this time. After ovulation it will become sticky and cloudy again, and mucus will decrease.

Can I have cervical mucus and not be ovulatimg?

Yes, it's possible to have cervical mucus present at various points in your menstrual cycle. While cervical mucus changes consistency leading up to and during ovulation, it can also be present at other times due to hormonal fluctuations. It's important to not solely rely on cervical mucus as an indicator of ovulation and consider other fertility signs as well.

How long should cervical mucus last?

Cervical mucus typically lasts for a few days before and after ovulation, with changes in consistency and amount throughout the menstrual cycle. The length of time can vary from person to person but should generally not persist for more than a week. If you notice abnormal changes in cervical mucus lasting longer than this, it may be a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider.


Is there testosterone in birth control?

No, birth control pills do not contain testosterone. They typically contain synthetic versions of the hormones estrogen and progestin, which work to prevent pregnancy by suppressing ovulation and thickening cervical mucus.

What is cervical mucus and what color can it be?

Cervical mucus changes are monitored for determining when ovulation occurs through the cervical mucus monitoring test. As your cycle progresses, your cervical mucus increases in volume and changes texture. The changes in the mucus that is secreted from the cervix reflect where you are in your cycle. The consistency of your cervical mucus changes during the cycle due to hormonal fluctuations. You are considered most fertile when the mucus becomes clear, slippery, and stretchy. Many women compare mucus at this stage to raw egg whites. Before collecting a sample, be sure to wash your hands first in order to prevent the transmission of germs. The most common ways of collecting a cervical mucus sample are: * Inserting your finger into your vagina and collecting some mucus. * Using toilet paper and wiping the entrance of your vagina and analyzing the mucus collected that way. * The most accurate way to collect your cervical mucus is to insert your finger into your vagina and circle your finger around your cervix or as close as you can to the cervix. This will allow you to actually collect the cervical mucus instead of just it's wetness. Monitoring the changes in cervical mucus is the only method that will not require looking back to the past few cycles for analysis, and also provide reliable results that you can trust when trying to conceive. You can do this yourself by getting a sample of your cervical secretions and stretch it between 2 of your fingers (the thumb and index finger) to test for the consistency. Examining the changes in your cervical mucus can help you pinpoint your time of ovulation and increase your chances of pregnancy.
