Cervical mucus is a fluid produced by the cervix that adjustments consistency all through the menstrual cycle. It may be used as a pure technique of contraception, often known as the cervical mucus technique, or to find out the fertile window for conception.
The cervical mucus technique depends on observing adjustments within the cervical mucus to find out the fertile and infertile phases of the menstrual cycle. Through the fertile part, the mucus turns into skinny, clear, and stretchy, resembling egg whites. This means that ovulation is approaching or has occurred. After ovulation, the mucus turns into thicker, cloudier, and fewer stretchy.
