How does the cervical mucus change?
You should also check the appearance and consistency of the mucus in the cervix (opening to the uterus). When the mucus appears thin, elastic, clear, and watery (like egg white), ovulation will occur within 4 days (these are called wet days). You should avoid intercourse from the time the wet mucus appears until 4 days after the mucus becomes drier, thicker in consistency, and smaller in amount.
