A member asked:

If cervical mucus stops before ovulation day, is that means i have ovulated earlier?

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Unknown: Monitoring cervical mucous is not an effective or very reliable method for detecting ovulation. If you are having trouble getting pregnant then the use of a home ovulation kit is going to be much more helpful
