(mucus is an indication of
when you are ovulating, thus when you are
most fertile. No mucus, no moist, not
really fertile. Do not take this as a
guideline thou, every woman is different
and that is just how my body
is.)
so are u saying then that a lot of musuc
and moisture would mean that ur ovulating
then?

Well, you can't say it quite as simple as
that.
Let's see;
your cycle starts with the 1st. Day of
your period. When your period is over,
you start building up mucus, which changes
in consistency throughout the cycle. It
starts with opaque, white creamy mucus and
gets clearer, stretchier and tackier
towards ovulation. When your mucus
streches up to an inch or more and is
clear, you are very likely to be ovulating
that day. After ovulation you "dry up"
and get almost completely dry right before
your period begins again.
In terms of fertility:
the tackier, clearer and especially
strtechier the mucus is, the more fertile
is this particular time of your cycle.
With other words - you are not as fertile
when your mucus is creamy, opaque and not
stretchy. Hence, the most fertile time in
a womans cycle is right around ovulation
(give some extra days, just to be sure),
the least right after and right before
your period. Its like three phases
(actually 4 phases if menstruation is
counted as a phase also): menstruation -
preovulation - ovulation (plus some days,
depending on the lenght of your cycle) -
postovulation - right back to
menstruation...
Check "the art of natural family planning"
written by john and sheila kippley, this
book is very good and informative wether
you are ttc, breastfeeding, trying to
prevent pregnancy, etc.
Best,

felt much more wet than normal, sorry, I
