A member asked:

Can cervical mucus come 5 days before ovulation? can someone have cervical mucus show up 2 days after being sexually active?

Hello. : Hello. Cervical mucus increases several days prior to ovulation. Vaginal secretions usually increase as a result of having sex and this can be confused with cervical mucus changes.
