Is My Cervical Mucus Normal?
Episode description
Is My Cervical Mucus Normal?
Let’s get something straight, cervical mucus is not just discharge and it is a very good thing! You want to see mucus throughout your menstrual cycle because it’s the very best real-time indicator you have of your fertile window. It tells you when you’re ovulating so you can use this information to avoid unplanned pregnancy or conceive naturally.
Mucus helps keep sperm alive and helps get us pregnant, and it protects us from vaginal infections. The change in mucus during our cycle also helps us to predict our next period and if you’re a control freak like me – you like knowing when your period is coming.
Some women see cervical mucus every single day. Some only see it a few days in a month. Others produce so much that they need to wear panty liners to protect their undies and others feel dry every single day.
And guess what, every single one of these women is completely, 100% normal.
HERE’S WHAT WE COVER:
● Get to know your cervix and the oh-so important role it plays throughout your menstrual cycle
● The easy way to check your cervical mucus daily
● How your mucus patterns change during your cycle (and why!)
● Why hormonal birth control affects your mucus (and pauses your menstrual cycle)
● Lifestyle factors that could be affecting your mucus
● When is mucus not normal?
