Cervical Muscous

[PetiteWonder]

I have only recently starting monitoring my body, tracking my cycles and trying to understand the way things work.

I am curious to learn more about cervical muscous.  I know it can vary from woman to woman but what is like through the process....

Prior to Ovulation -
During Ovulation -
A few days post ovulation -
Just prior to the start of a new cycle -
If conception has occured-

If anyone has any insight into this  (recognizing that is not absolute but generally what would you be looking for)

monitoring cervical mucus changes is the only method that will not require looking back to the past cycles.. i hope this will be of some help...
BEFORE OVULATION:
there is little or no discharge.. a feeling of dryness near the vulva.. chances of conception very less but not nil.
APPROACHING OVULATION: the discharge is sticky and cloudy in nature and is white or cream in colour.. it breaks it u try to stretch it between the fingers.. chances of conceiving are there...85%
OVULATION:
the mucus resembles an egg white. it is thinest clearest and most abundant during this phase and stretches in cms between the fingers wen stretched.. the amount keeps increasing till mucus peak.. this is the last day of it.. the chances of conception are 100%
AFTER OVULATION:
the mucus level again falls and returns to it's sticky stage and again a feeling of dryness near vulva persists..

at time of ovulation it actually resembles raw egg white!
