Your cervical mucus holds the key to unlocking the secrets of your fertile window, guiding you towards the best times for conception, or contraception, based on your goals.⁠ 💫

Before ovulation your cervical mucus may be dry, sticky or creamy.

As ovulation is approaching, you may simply feel a sense of wetness.💧

But here's where the magic happens! During the 1-2 days leading up to ovulation, when estrogen levels peak, and during and right after ovulation, your cervix produces abundant, clear, wet, slippery, and stretchy secretions—often likened to the consistency of egg-whites! 🥚

This magical "egg-white" mucus is a clear signal—it's the BEST time for conception! 🤰

As the days progress and progesterone takes center stage, the mucus becomes less abundant, and you might notice a shift towards a pasty or tacky texture, even experiencing a drier sensation as your period approaches.

Curious about your own pattern?There are a few ways to check your cervical mucus, allowing you to choose the approach that suits you best:

1️⃣ Observe the color and texture of the discharge on your underwear daily.

2️⃣ Before you go to pee, wipe your vaginal opening with white toilet paper or tissue and examine the mucus with your fingers.

3️⃣ For a closer look, gently insert a clean index finger just inside your vaginal opening, then examine the color and texture of the mucus between your index finger and thumb.

I’m a strong advocate for connecting with your cycle, not just for pregnancy or contraception, but also to grasp this powerful indicator of your hormonal health. 💪
