Checking Your Cervical Mucus Before And After You Ovulate.
Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009

One of the ways of confirming whether your pregnancy efforts have succeeded or not is by checking the consistency of your cervical mucus. You will be able to determine your fertility status by observing the consistency of your cervical mucus. When you are fertile, that is just before ovulation and during ovulation, you will be able to find white cervical mucus that is sticky and in the consistency of egg white. When this happens, you will know that you are ovulating or about to ovulate. When the cervical mucus is in egg white consistency, it is best to have intercourse. The cervical mucus in this consistency will ensure easy movement of the sperm. It provides an ideal condition for the sperm to live in your body for up to five days.

Cervical mucus after ovulation if pregnant will now turn from egg white consistency and it will become highly sticky. It can also happen with some women during the time of implantation, absence of cervical mucus. However, this will depend on the individualâ??s body type. The change happens sometimes as soon as the ovulation sets in.

The level of cervical mucus secretion will increase and the colorless mucus will now turn into pinkish or brownish shade when implantation occurs. Cervical mucus after ovulation if pregnant will initially increase and it will start reducing. This is caused by the hormonal changes that occur in our body. When the flow of cervical mucus is high, you will even be able to notice the stains in your panties and it will be easily noticeable. At the same time, some women report that they do not find any noticeable increase in the secretion of the cervical mucus. Whether you have high level of cervical mucus secretion or no secretion of cervical mucus, you need not panic; each woman responds to pregnancy differently. The changes that happen with you are basically to the hormonal response in your body.

For some of us even after implantation we may not see the change in the color of the mucus. So if you are not finding any change in your cervical mucus you can easily confirm your pregnancy using pregnancy testing cards, which is more reliable.

Many women try to increase the chances of getting pregnant by observing the consistency of their cervical mucus. You must regularly test the consistency of your cervical mucus so that you will be able to predict your fertility status and have sexual relationship accordingly. For those of us who have a consistent pattern in the cervical mucus secretion we can easily determine whether we are ovulating and whether implantation has taken place by observing our cervical mucus. Once you are pregnant, the consistency of the cervical mucus will cease to be in egg white consistency. Once you observe this change, you need to be highly careful until you can confirm your pregnancy through medical tests. Whether you can observe changes in your cervical mucus or not, you still need to confirm your pregnancy through appropriate medical tests.
