A member asked:

I am supposed to get my period in 4 days but yesterday i started to notice egg white cervical mucus. does this mean my ovulation is late? or could it

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Late ovulation: More likely late ovulation, consider basal temp charting, as well. Also consider lower carbohydrate intake to improve ovulation regularity
