See below: Cervical mucous stretchability is dependent on certain hormone levels related to your cycle. As your cycle varies, so does the stretchability of your mucous.

Have sex: Older women ovulate earlier and will see cervical mucus thinning and becoming copious earlier in the cycle. So, start early in the cycle having regular sex.
