CERVICAL MUCOUS
FERTILITY AWARENESS

This is Our reproductive System a helpful guide in explaining Cervical Mucas.
Most women after learning the basics of charting go on to look for more ways of recognising when
They are most Fertile, A very distinquished way of trying to detect Ovulation is to learn and chart
CERVICAL MUCUS
This cannot be done over night and learning and detecting changes will build up the more you take
notice of your cycle.You will find a pattern occuring while charting each month and recognise by
Temping and CM charting where your likely days of Ovulation may exist.and how both
Interact with each other.Once learnt you will be able to pin down the important days of Intercourse
To enhance your chances more, Thus given your husband a chance while he is reproducing new Sperm.

RECOGNITION
During the menstrual cycle changes are taking place in the cells lining the cervical canal.
This can be recognised by APPEARANCE,FINGERTIP TOUCH.

SENSATION
The most difficult to learn but very important.This is the sensation which you would
feel say when your period arrives the feeling at the vulva the Vaginal lips.As follows.....
Dry,Moist,Wet,Sticky,Slippery,Lubricated.

APPEARANCE
White tissue or toilet roll would be the best to wipe the Vaginal lips
when Charting Cervical Mucas.You will then notice changes in colour these can be...
White,Creamy,Clear,Opaque.
My advise would be not to rely on the cervical mucas that has dried on your underwear as its
characteristics would have changed during the day as to when it was first noticeable.

FINGERTIP TEST
After blotting the tissue with your Cervical mucas and disguinishing the colour,
Gently slide the sample away from the tissue to your fingertip this may be better on
your Index finger and thumb.
PHASE 1 Early Mucas
If you are just starting to learn Cervical Mucas you may notice at first that prior to
Ovulation the mucas may appear Tacky,Not stretchy and breaks easily,It may
also be white in colour and holds its shape.
PHASE 2 Transitional Mucas
Still buildingup to Ovulation few days prior release, You may feel that the sensation
is becoming more wetter,Blotting the tissue and fingertip test may reveal that the
cervical mucas becomes more cloudy, Sticky and can be streacthed.
PHASE 3 Highly Fertile Mucas
At Ovulation You may feel the sensation of lubricant or slippery,The colour of the cervical Mucas
will be Clear like eggwhites, It will be very stretchy and will break after stretching
some several inches.This is often defined as PEAK DAY on the last day of feeling or noticing
the above.

POST OVULATION INFERTILE PHASE
Following peak day and Ovulation the slippery ,lubricant sensation will suddenley stop
and return to sticky creamy mucas, stopping the sperm from reaching the egg.As it thickens.
Until the sensation returns to DRYNESS.Then the start of the next Period.
I do hope this has given you some knowledge into the different stages of
CERVICAL MUCAS.

Best of luck to you all.
PRACTISE MAKES PERFECT ITS VERY TRUE.
