Cervical mucus is fluid or gel-like discharge from the cervix. Throughout a woman's menstrual cycle, the thickness and amount of cervical mucus changes. This is because of hormone levels fluctuating throughout your cycle. Hormones stimulate glands in the cervix to produce mucus.

Your cervical mucus is the thinnest and best shortly before and during ovulation. This is the best time for sperm transport because the cervical mucus is thin and stretchy (known as egg white cervical mucus, or EWCM).

In the days following your period, you'll probably notice no discharge. This happens when your body creates more mucus before another egg is ripened in anticipation of ovulation. Following these “dry days,” your discharge will go through days when it appears sticky, cloudy, wet, and slippery.

You may notice an increase of discharge again right before your period is due, which is caused by increased blood flow, changing estrogen levels, and the cervix preparing for menstruation.

Egg white cervical mucus is a clear, stretchy fluid that you'll see a few days before ovulation in response to hormonal changes. This type of discharge can continue for up to 1 to 2 days after ovulation. Ovulation is when your ovaries release an egg to be fertilized by sperm.

In the canal that leads to the uterus, cells produce mucus. This mucus helps protect and direct sperm to the egg, but it can also thicken when affected by hormonal contraceptives. If your menstrual blood is slicker than usual, that's probably just because cervical mucus has mixed with the blood.

After ovulation, the hormone progesterone causes cervical mucus to become sticky and thick. This stops sperm (and any other foreign substance) from getting through to the uterus. As ovulation approaches, your cervical mucus changes from a consistency that's not sperm-friendly to a more fertile variety.
