Every woman during their menstrual cycle will have a different type of mucus coming out their vagina. The nature of your discharge gives a clue about when you are likely to get pregnant.<\/p>\n
What is the menstrual cycle?<\/strong><\/p>\n This is the time it takes between 2 of your periods. It is usually between 21 to 35 days in most women. Below 21 days and above 35 days are abnormal. Also, if your menstrual cycle is 21 days you will ovulate early (early ovulation). If it’s 35 days, then you will have late ovulation.<\/p>\n This is the time it takes between 2 of your periods. It is usually between 21 to 35 days in most women. Below 21 days and above 35 days are abnormal. Also, if your menstrual cycle is 21 days you will ovulate early (early ovulation). If it’s 35 days, then you will have late ovulation.<\/p>\n In every woman, the endometrium covering the uterus (womb) comes out as period and last about 2 to 7 days. After your period, you will notice a dry thick vaginal discharge. This will later become creamy egg white discharge that is stretchy just before ovulation. Just around ovulation, your discharge becomes more watery, and after ovulation, it becomes thick again<\/p>\n Your fertile mucus is that discharge that gets you pregnant if you have intercourse. Clear watery discharge at the middle of your menstrual cycle and egg white stretchy discharge before ovulation is fertile. Sexual intercourse when you have this type of discharge can get you pregnant.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To get pregnant easily, you should understand the changes that occur in your cervix and the type of fluid that comes out of your vagina.<\/p>\n There are four cervical mucus stages you must know while trying to conceive.<\/p>\n Immediately after your period, most women will have a dry vagina or a thick white stuff coming out. This white discharge has no odor, and it’s not itching. At this point, the level of estrogen hormone begins to rise due to stimulation of the pituitary gland by follicle stimulating hormone (FSH)<\/p>\n Just before ovulation, the level of estrogen reaches its peak. Your discharge becomes creamy white and stretchy sticky mucus that comes out from your vagina. This type of mucus indicates you’re likely to ovulate in hours or few days. The hormone, luteinizing hormone (LH), will have a sudden surge about 12 to 24 hours before you ovulate. Women that use ovulation kits or fertility monitors can predict when they will ovulate by checking for this LH surge.<\/p>\n At ovulation, your cervical mucus becomes more watery and more fertile. It is a clear, watery and egg white discharge that can stretch between 2 fingers. Sexual intercourse during this kind of vaginal discharge will easily get you pregnant.<\/p>\n After the release of the egg from the ovary, the follicle gets filled will blood and form the yellow corpus luteum. This will increase progesterone production after your ovulation to help the endometrium prepare for implantation.<\/p>\n This progesterone dominance after ovulation will cause your period to be thick white discharge. If your fertilized egg is not implanted, the corpus luteum breakdown about 4 to 5 days before your next period leading to bleeding that comes out as your period.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now you understand the changes that occur in your discharge, let’s explain changes that happen in your cervix.<\/p>\n What is cervix?<\/strong> The cervix is just like a tube that connects your womb to your vagina. It is also where the sperm passes through to fertilize the egg in the fallopian tube.<\/p>\n Four cervix changes can also occur during your menstrual cycle<\/p>\n Immediately after your period, your cervix is hard, lying low in your vagina with dry or thick white mucus. At this stage, your are infertile and cannot get pregnant. Thick white mucus makes it difficult for sperm to move freely.<\/p>\n Your cervix becomes soft, lying high in your vagina with cream like stretchy white discharge coming out of your vagina. Can I get pregnant?<\/strong>. Yes, you can get pregnant\u00a0with regular intercourse during this type of discharge.<\/p>\n Your cervix becomes soft, high up in our vagina, not closed with more watery cervical mucus that is egg white. Can I get pregnant?<\/strong> Yes. Regular intercourse during this time will make you pregnant.<\/p>\n Your cervix becomes hard again, low in your vagina with thick white creamy discharge<\/a> down there. Can I get pregnant?<\/strong> No. It ‘s hard to get pregnant during this type of discharge because it is difficult for sperm to swim through.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Now we know the changes in our cervix and cervical discharge, what does fertile mucus look like and at what point am I most fertile?<\/p>\n Just before ovulation, your white stretchy and slippery mucus<\/strong> is a fertile mucus. If you have intercourse during this period, you are likely to conceive.<\/p>\n During ovulation, your discharge is more watery, clear and egg white<\/strong>. This is your most fertile mucus and regular intercourse during this time will likely get you pregnant.<\/p>\n However, every woman will not have a 28-day menstrual cycle. Women with shorter cycle can ovulate early after period.<\/p>\n In these women, the time taken from creamy discharge to egg white watery discharge may not be much.<\/p>\n This means, if you have a shorter cycle, you can get pregnant just after period.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n What is the fertile window? It\u00a0is when you can get pregnant easily during your menstrual cycle.<\/p>\n If you want to get pregnant, then you must understand your ovulation mucus discharge and the best time to have intercourse. The life span of sperm is about 3 to 5 days. It can sometimes live up to seven days. However, your egg just has a life span of 12 to 24 hours. This means that five days before your ovulation and 24 hours after ovulation is when you’re likely to get pregnant. This is your fertile window.<\/p>\n If you have regular intercourse with your partner, then you’re can easily conceive. It is recommended to have regular intercourse every 2 or 3 days. The chances of getting pregnant are higher if the sperm is already waiting before you ovulate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you desire to get pregnant easily, there are few no cost ways<\/strong> you can achieve this. You can check your vagina and examine your mucus daily to know when there is a change.<\/p>\n I usually advise women to do this in the evening or before you sleep.<\/p>\n First, ensure that you have washed your hands. Dip 2 of your fingers (middle and index fingers) into your vagina. Examine your discharge while asking yourself these questions<\/p>\n This method is inexpensive and very easy to carry out.<\/p>\n If your discharge is stretchy and egg white, try to have intercourse as this is a fertile mucus. Thick white mucus is not a fertile mucus and will not get you pregnant.<\/p>\n However, you can purchase ovulation kits and fertility monitors that can help predict your ovulation and fertile window.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n These are some commonly asked questions about cervical fertile mucus and fertile window. Please free to share your experiences, story and more questions.<\/p>\n Cervical fluid after conception is more sticky, thick clear white mucus without vaginal itching. Some women may have brown mucus discharge<\/a> due to implantation bleeding.<\/p>\n Cervical mucus in early pregnancy is creamy egg white discharge or brown discharge.<\/p>\n During ovulation, the mucus from your vagina becomes clear white and watery. It is a sign you’re about to ovulate. Regular intercourse during this time will lead to pregnancy.<\/p>\n After ovulation, your cervical mucus becomes white and thick discharge. It may become brownish if you’re pregnant or yellow discharge when exposed to air.<\/p>\n Cervical mucus before your period is usually thick, clear mucus. It has no odor and does not cause any vaginal itching.<\/p>\n Egg white discharge just before ovulation is a sign that you are fertile and can get pregnant. It usually does not last more than three days in women.
