Cervical Mucus Changes During Pregnancy

Do you notice sticky, clear and white colored mucus in varying amount in your vagina? This is a clear indication that you are ovulating or are about to ovulate soon. The substance in your vagina is called cervical mucus, and it determines the stage at which you are in your menstrual cycle. In other words, if menopause is drawing near, the secretion of this mucus goes down considerably.

It is very important to first understand that each woman has a different experience when she is pregnant. Cervical mucus helps in determining things, but there are many factors that need to be considered before you jump to conclusions.

Cervical mucus is responsible for transporting the sperm in your body; it allows the sperm to stay in your body for some time. In pregnancy, cervical mucus loses its white color and becomes stickier during the implantation process. After ovulation, the cervical mucus disappears in many women. Nonetheless, this condition varies from individual to individual.

During implantation, this mucus may have a pinkish or brownish tint; the secretion also increases. This happens when the egg tries to attach itself to the endometrial lining, causing a little bleeding which mixes with the cervical mucus to give this color.

In all the three trimesters of your pregnancy, there are lots of hormonal changes that happen in your body. These changes may bring about alterations in the secretion of the cervical fluid. There may be an increase in its secretion at times, while the secretion may drastically dip otherwise. This depends on individual’s body’s response to pregnancy.

While these changes may occur in some women, there may be others who have absolutely no change in the cervical mucus. Cervical mucus is a great way to predict the stage of pregnancy your body is entering. You can also enhance the chances of fertilization and implantation by determining the type of cervical mucus your body is secreting.

If you find that the cervical fluid is white in color, you need to understand that you are fertile, and when the fluid is not white, you need to assume that either you are pregnant or are not in your ovulation period. Similarly, with the change of color in the cervical fluid, you can also determine whether the implantation has taken place or not. Our bodies give us many cues; all we need is an eye for detail. We can then interpret and confirm it with the ideal tests that are available.
