Cervical Mucus Consistancy?

[blueskye20]

Ok, so I’ve been trying to track my ovulation, a tip given to me by the girls on this website a few weeks ago.  They said that I should experience some cervical mucus for a few days and then a kind of slimy, stretchy, egg whitish like discharge.  So I was wondering what the discharge/cervical mucus before that is supposed to consist of.  Should it be milky, white, creamy… wet or dry?  Any feedback would be appreciated, I’m new at this and don’t have much experience in the whole baby thing.

Yeah, JoyRenee is right. It can vary a lot from woman to woman. Creamy, sticky or dry are common before and after your fertile period. As you get closer to ovulation it gets more abundant and stretchy. Eggwhite cervical mucus (EWCM) usually indicates peak fertility, but some women only have wet cervical mucus before ovulation. If so, then the wet cervical mucus would be considered peak fertility.

Good luck to you!

The consistency and color can be anything before you get the ovulation mucous. It can range from milky, creamy, white, yellowish, etc.

If you are dry, you are not fertile at the time. During your dry times, you cannot become pregnant.

Thank you.  I was using those charts and calculators for about 6 months and havent become pregnant yet.  I expressed my fustrated through this website and that was the advice that I got.  Thank you, though, and I will continue to use the charts and calculators as well as tracking my own physical symptoms.  Once agian, Thanks!
