Question 1

how long after you see cervical mucus do you ovulate?

Accepted Answer

Crude measure: If mucous behaves normally, big if, it changes from clear elastic to thick and non elastic with progesterone.  So ovulation is a retrospectively evaluated event.  When the change is noted, ovulation likely occurred 2-3 days prior.  One should have sex roughly every 48 hours from cycle days 11-18 to best cover ovulation and it can't be better than that.  Some will see "mucous" for days before ovul.

Question 2

can i ovulate without cervical mucus?

Accepted Answer

Female Fertility: Cervical mucous is a sign that some use to tell when they are more fertile. But, ovulation is in no way dependent on cervical mucous. The process of ovulation occurs in the ovary and not the cervix.

Question 3

i have no cervical mucus around time of ovulation?

Accepted Answer

No mucus: Obviously this is a concern… since this mucus is driven by estrogen which peaks midcycle i wonder about ovulation. Have you had any surgery done to your cervix-cryosurgery for an abnormal pap smear/cervical dysplasia or a leep procedure? I think a midcycle ultrasound will help elucidate whether or not your ovulating and you can actually see the mucus in the canal by ultrasound at that time.
