One of the ways that the birth control pill works is to thicken the cervical mucus to reduce the ability of sperm to get through.

Can sperm still travel through creamy white cervical mucus and get you pregnant or is it considered a hostile environment?

Creamy white mucus is very acidic and usually kills the sperm. It is also sticky which means they cannot move. It is not 100% effective, but as a general rule, you will not get pregnant when you have creamy mucus.

I'm going through the same thing; 9 days late and white CM instead... I took a test, but it was negative. Depending on how late you are, you should test. If it's negative like mine, but you still don't get it, see a doc for a blood test. I'll be making an appointment soon. Good luck! :)

How does cervical mucus change early in pregnancy?

Here is advice and input: * That is normal for a woman's body, it doesn't mean you are pregnant. * It is possible. Some women continue to have a large amount of discharge after they ovulate, clear up through the date that the period is due. Others are dry. If you notice something that is abnormal from the way you are each month, it is always possible you are pregnant. Just wait until you are late for your period and take a HPT. Hello. This could simply be left over ovulation discharge. But it could also be pregnancy discharge. Personally I would go with it being ovulation discharge. But if the discharges increases a lot....significantly increases...then see your doctor for a pregnancy blood test.

When mucus come out are you ovulating?

Cervical mucus changes are monitored for determining when ovulation occurs through the cervical mucus monitoring test. As your cycle progresses, your cervical mucus increases in volume and changes texture.Before collecting a sample, be sure to wash your hands first in order to prevent the transmission of germs.The most accurate way to collect your cervical mucus is to insert your finger into your vagina and circle your finger around your cervix or as close as you can to the cervix. This will allow you to actually collect the cervical mucus instead of just it's wetness.Monitoring the changes in cervical mucus is the only method that will not require looking back to the past few cycles for analysis, and also provide reliable results that you can trust when trying to conceive. You can do this yourself by getting a sample of your cervical secretions and stretch it between 2 of your fingers (the thumb and index finger) to test for the consistency. Examining the changes in your cervical mucus can help you pinpoint your time of ovulation and increase your chances of pregnancy.Before Ovulation (low chance of pregnancy):The first few days following menstruation, there will be little or no discharge present. You will feel dryness around your vulva. During this time, chances of getting pregnant are low.Approaching Ovulation (chance of pregnancy):The first discharge that does appear should be moist or sticky and should be white or cream in color. In the finger test, the mucus should break easily. You will only be able to pull your fingers about 1 cm apart before it breaks. During this transition time, first the mucus will become cloudy and slightly stretchy during the finger test (this means that it will still break before the fingers are stretched all the way). As time progresses, the mucus will become greater in volume.Right around ovulation (high chance of pregnancy):At this stage, mucus resembles egg whites. It is the thinnest, clearest and most abundant at this point in the cycle. Finger testing will allow the mucus to stretch quite a ways (several centimeters) before it breaks (if it breaks at all). ) The amount of this thin mucus will steadily increase until you experience your 'mucus peak'. This is the last day of this period where the chance of conception is high. It is closely tied to ovulation. During this phase, the sperm's survival rate is higher. It can survive in cervical mucus for up to 72 hours, a significantly longer time than during the rest of the cycle.After Ovulation (low chance of pregnancy):After ovulation, there is a marked change in mucus appearance. It returns to the sticky stage (does not stretch during finger test) and there is again a feeling of dryness around the vulva.One caution for this test is that sperm can be confused with the mucus secretions and you could make wrong assumptions. Also, vaginal infections, medication, and birth control can alter conditions and should be taken into consideration when examining any vaginal secretions.Simply put:DryProbably Not FertileStickyProbably Not FertileCreamyPossibly FertileWateryFertileEgg whiteMost Fertile

Does tubal ligation affect your hormone levels?

No. The tubal ligation prevents the sperm and the egg from meeting. Ovulation still takes place and that is triggered by hormones.

How does a woman menstruate after tubal ligation?

A woman menstruates after a tubal ligation just like she would before she had this done. After the tubal ligation the ovaries still work the same as always and the uterus still responds the same way to the hormones to plump up and then shed when pregnancy doesn't occur. All tubal ligation does is cut or seal off the fallopian tubes so that the sperm cannot get to the egg to conceive.
