A member asked:
What does cervical mucus look like and feel like while on birth control?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very thick: It is very thick in response to the progestin dominant component of the birth control. Natural progesterone also can thicken the mucous, natural estrogen thins the mucous around the time of ovulation to allow sperm to move through the cervix more readily.
