A member asked:

At what stage of ovulation is cervical mucus thick and a little chuncky.?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovulation: Your mucus starts to change into a thick, whitish discharge after ovulation. Ovulation is usually 14 days prior to you next period. Keep a calendar and you will notice more changes in your body like bloating, breast pain, and occasionally mood changes.

While checking the strings on my copper IUD today I noticed my cervical mucus was quite watery (with little to no stretch to it); I finished my period 3 days ago. I was wondering if this was normal? Does it mean that I'm ovulating?
