Through thick & thin: The thinning of the cervical mucous occurs prior to ovulation in mid cycle. Overt pregnancy causes a thickening of the cervical mucous forming a "plug" to prevent the access of bacteria to the cervical opening and the pregnancy. Regardless of texture the cervical mucous "stays with you always".

White ; milky dc: Can occur with pregnancy but is not diagnostic of it. If you have missed your period - please take a pregnancy test.
