What are the stages of cervical mucus during ovulation? Is it too late if it is already thick and white? ?

Question

I have been trying to track my ovulation and do not know exactly the best time to conceive based on cervical mucus. Now it is white and thick? Am I too late? Please only knowledgeable answer.

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you are too late for this month.  Usually you want to look for egg white, slippery, and stretchy mucus.  You can also check your cervix to see if it is slippery, high, open, and wet.  One good rule of thumb is when you use the bathroom and wipe, does it slip right by, or is it dry?  If it is slippery and there is a lot of clear stuff, it is ovulation time.  Hope this helps.  Good luck.

Answer 2

Fertile time is when the cervical mucous is  'Thin and Watery' by the time it is thick and white your fertilty is at a low.

Answer 3

You can have thick, sticky or hand-lotion-type CM at any time in your cycle, so either you missed ovulation or it hasn't happened yet. I get it right after AF every month, and then again from 3dpo to 10dpo. It's unfertile. The stuff you're looking for is gloopy, shiny, see-through and very stretchy (2 inches (3cm) or more) and that's the fertile stuff. If you're closer to your next period than 11 days, you probably missed ovulation which is always around 14 days before your next period.
