A member asked:

Is it true that cervical fluid dries up a couple of days before period comes.

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Myths: No. That would not be true. Vaginal and cervical mucous or fluids or discharge are not in any way a reliable way to monitor any part of the menstrual cycle.
