A member asked:

What hormone causes watery cervical mucus?

Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

INCREASING ESTROGEN: The estrogen levels increase as you approach ovulation, that causes a thinning of the vagina and cervical secretions that increases the vaginal discharge and facilitates the sperm and egg getting together by allowing the sperm to swim through easier.
