How to Check Your Cervical Position & Cervical Mucus

Cervical Position and Cervical Mucus are excellent ways to track your ovulation!

Cervical Position:

Before Fertile Phase - Before your fertile phase your cervix will feel hard (like the tip of your nose) and be lower in the vagina, closed and dry (no cervical fluid).

Fertile Phase - As you enter your fertile window and approach ovulation your cervix will change. It will feel softer (like your lips), higher, open and wet (due to the presence of cervical fluid). This is known as "SHOW" (soft, high, open, wet) - your most fertile state.

After Fertile Phase - After ovulation, the cervix reverts back to its infertile position.

Cervical Mucus/Cervical Fluid:

Beginning of cycle - The menstrual cycle begins on the first day of your period. During period days blood is passing through the cervix.

After your period - After your period, you may not notice any cervical mucus (dry days). After the dry days your cervix discharge will start. Rising hormone levels cause your cervix to produce mucus that is often described as sticky, tacky or pasty.

Approaching ovulation - As you approach ovulation and enter your fertile window, increasing levels of the hormone estrogen cause your cervix to produce a mucus with higher water content, making it become creamy.

Just before ovulation - At peak fertility, your cervical mucus looks and feels like raw egg white (clear, slippery and stretchy), often referred to as EWCM (egg white cervical mucus). Using a finger and thumb you should be able to stretch it more than an inch without it breaking. This is really fertile cervical mucus and it provides the best environment for sperm.

At the time of ovulation - Your cervical mucus may become more watery and reach its maximum in quantity after peak fertility, but it's not as fertile as the raw egg type.

After ovulation - After ovulation cervical mucus starts to become sticky again and then dry up until your next period (about 10 to 14 days later).
