A member asked:

Hi doctor. every month, i notice during my period, together with the blood, some kind of jelly-goo-ish mucus, transparent (just like the one we are suppose to have when we are ovulatin). is it normal? i take the pill and it's been like this since forever.

Mucous: Yes that is very normal. Part of the way BIRTH CONTROL pills work is that they cause a thickening of the cervical mucous. No need to worry.
