A member asked:
How can your cervical mucus go from egg white and stretchy one day before sex to pasty the next day after sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hormone changes: Sex is not the cause. The hormones at midcycle cause the mucous to be egg white like. The mucous forms channels to help the sperm get to the egg. This goes along with ovulation. The progesterone after ovulation makes the mucous thick.
