Question 1

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 2

do cervical mucus changes signal ovulation date?

Accepted Answer

Roughly...: Around the time of ovulation, the amount of cervical mucus increases and it becomes more thin, clear, watery and elastic in response to estrogen produced in the body. After ovulation as the body shifts from estrogen to progesterone, the mucus becomes more thick, opaque and sticky. Tracking these changes can help you to know when you may ovulate, but is not a very reliable form of birth control!

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.

Question 4

how does my cervical mucus look the day i ovulate?

Accepted Answer

Relatively thin: Mucus plug of cervix thorns out, allows for fertilization. Not the only finding around ovulation, so don't count on that alone.

Question 5

why do i have cervical mucus when i'm not ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Normal: Cervical mucus is made in some amount all month long.

Question 6

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 7

how is cervical .mucus suppose to look when ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Watery: It usually clear, watery, and abundant.

Question 8

what kind of cervical mucus i should have when ovulating?

Accepted Answer

Thin watery: Close to ovulation mucus becomes thin, watery, odorless. There are more accurate ways to identify impending ovulation as ovulation predictor kits that measure lh surge in urine. Ovulation ensues about 12- 36 hours after surge.

Question 9

can you ovulate and not have any signs or cervical mucus?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Some people can ovulate and not have clear thin cervical mucus. This is considered cervical factor infertility.

Question 10

what can cause changes in cervical mucus during ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Cervical mucus: Changes according to the percentage of water in it.
