10 Signs of Ovulation
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Sign #4: Mucus
Mucus is commonly found in our bodies. It performs various functions such as providing lubrication and helping the body catch pathogens. It is also found in the cervix, and a change in the mucus here is a clear sign that you are going into ovulation.
During this time, the mucus in the cervix will take on the consistency of a raw egg. It becomes thinner than usual, and also more slippery, to aid the passage of sperm to the egg. This usually lasts for around 5 days in young women but as women get older, the period of time the mucus remains this way will decrease.
