My husband and I are not currently trying to conceive, but we are using Natural Family Planning to avoid pregnancy. I have a very regular, very predictable cycle. I understand what signs and symptoms to look for, I check my cervical mucus daily, and I take my basal body temperature at the same time every morning. According to what I've read, it is normal for a woman to go through a "dry" spell just after her period. As she gets closer to ovulation, her mucus should become "egg-white" in consistency. I also understand that all women are different and will therefore experience their cycles differently. I'm sure I'm no exception, but I just wondered why my mucus is purely egg-white from the start. I generally ovulate 12 to 16 days into my cycle, which means I usually have between 7 to 10 days of purely egg-white mucus. Does this speak at all to my fertility???
