Pre-Ovulation
Following the menstrual period, there is a feeling of dryness. There will be no visible mucus. Gradually, more mucus will accumulate - yellow, cloudy, or white in color and sticky to the touch.
Approaching Ovulation
As you approach ovulation, your cervical mucus will increase. First, there will be a moistness or stickiness to the mucus, as well as a white or cream-colored appearance.
During Ovulation
At ovulation, the quantity of mucus will increase greatly and the appearance will resemble "egg whites", often semitransparent. The texture will become increasingly slippery and 'stretchable'. This is your most fertile time.
Following Ovulation
Following ovulation, the slippery quality of the cervical mucus will decrease and the mucus will become sticky and cloudier. Post-ovulatory dryness will also ensue.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, my mucus was clear, but not really stretchy. This would be right before ovulation, correct? Then today, it was cloudy and stretchy. Does that mean that I'm possibly ovulating now? This is so confusing.
