Yes. Your cervical mucus will change over the course of your
cycle. This has everything to do with ovulation. Try tracking your
cervical mucus and it will tell you when you are ovulating, and
when your period is about to start. You will find that after your
period finishes, you have little cervial mucus. You will feel "dry"
when you touch your vagina and any mucus you have will be white or
yellowish and feel either creamy or sticky. This mucus is actually
very acid and is poison to sperm, it will kill them. As you
approach ovulation your mucus will change, it will become clear and
very slippery - very much like raw egg whites. And there will be a
lot of it. Your vagina will feel wet or damp. This is the natural
lubricant for sex and the cervical mucus actually helps sperm live
longer and move through the vagina. Once you start to see this
mucus, you know you are about to ovulate and are "fertile". This
will usually last about 2-4 days. Once ovulation is over, the mucus
will once again become sticky and no longer be clear. If you count
14 days from the middle of your "clear & slippery" cycle, you
will find what day your period will come on. The mucus will remain
sticky right up until your period starts.

and thick and lots of it, before turning fairly dry again just
before your period.

What are the normal stages of cervical mucus?
There are three phases of cervical mucus:
1. Infertile phase - this occurs after your menstrual period and
also called dry days. This is the most infertile time of the
month
2. The fertile phase - when you're nearing your ovulation, you
will experience discharges of cervical mucus in the vagina. At
first, this cm will appear moist and sticky and white or creamy in
color.
As ovulation get even closer, your cm will change. you will get
more and more cm and it will change into a transparent color one
which can stretch tested by the finger.
During ovulation, the cm will then change into an egg white
cervical mucus because that exactly how it looks.
3. Post ovulation completely infertile phase - after ovulation
feeling of wetness will stop and your cm will come back to its
normal appearance - dry and sticky.
This stages are a reference for those who are trying to
conceive.

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.
