CHANGES IN THE CERVICAL MUCUS:
Get it right:
Each female has a different amount, colour and consistency of cervical mucus. So comparing your cervical mucus with the mucus of other females and reaching the conclusion is not a good idea.
Cervical Mucus – Right Texture And Consistency & Importance To Track Fertility
DRY DAYS
No Mucus During Periods and after ovulation
When the girl is on her periods, then the period blood covers the mucus entirely. So you would not be able to see the mucus until your periods are over.
WET DAYS
A lot of mucus during and before ovulation
Before the egg is released, then your reproductive system will produce a lot of mucus. You may feel the urge to change your panty twice or even thrice a day.
IT COULD BE DIFFERENT IN MENSTRUAL AND OVULATORY DAYS
Colour
During wet days, your mucus could be either white, yellow or cloudy.
Consistency
The consistency of mucus in the ovulatory days is significantly different as compared to the other days. It could be stretchy and gluey.
WHAT HAPPENS BEFORE OR DURING OVULATION?
BEFORE OVULATION
When you are about to ovulate, then your estrogen levels are significantly rising
Immediately before ovulation. The consistency of mucus is the same as that of the consistency of the white eggs.

Ph balance
When the woman is on her periods, then the pH value turns acidic and thus the perms could not survive inside the uterus. But no sooner than the sperms get entered in the reproductive system during ovulation, the pH value highly contributes to the survival of the sperms in the uterus and thus they can get the pregnancy maintained.
AFTER PREGNANCY
Once the woman is pregnant, the cervical mucus is the first thing that gets changed in the texture, thickness and consistency.
ASIDE KNOWLEDGE
When you have successfully achieved conception, then immediately after implantation you may notice some of the blood spots. These spots indicate that you have conceived successfully. This spotting can happen within two weeks after conception.
How does the mucus appear during the early pregnancy?
The mucus may appear stickier either of the whitish or the yellow colour. Also, you should know that the consistency and the colour of the mucus keep on getting changed with the progression of the pregnancy.
Why don’t you get pregnant after intaking birth control pills?
Then the clear relation of the cervical mucus with the birth control pills is responsible for non-conception. When the females take the birth control pills, then the thickness of the mucus changes. The immensely thickened mucus does not let the sperm penetrate the eggs.

You have to track the colour, consistency and texture of your cervical mucus. Following are some of the ways with which you can do that:
