August 27, 2020 at 10:41 amHello,

I am new to FAM, and I've started charting. I have loved the app! I have a question about cervical fluid. During my current cycle, I have had an upward trend of BBTs after I had watery / egg white fluid. I was excited! However, the book says that after this point, cervical fluid should start drying up because progesterone is released. I have not found that to be the case for me. The next couple days after lots of watery fluid, I had smaller amounts of watery fluid. Now, 4 days after the "lots of water fluid for two days" period, I still have some creamy fluid going on. I am going to a natural doctor next month, and in the past my blood work has shown 2 close-to-the-cutoff thyroid levels that could indicate hypothyroidism.

Questions:

1. Is it normal for some women to still have some fluid and not be "dry" after a temp spike and having the watery fluid?

2. What could this pattern indicate, if it isn't normal?

August 27, 2020 at 3:18 pmSuch a great question! I think cervical fluid can be a little hard to learn because we will all have different patterns. So, I think a misconception is that our fluids will totally dry up when it seems it would be a little more accurate to say, our cervical fluid changes consistency. Some people may see no more noticable fluid, others will see obvious changes to their fluid, but never be completely "dry." The main thing to look for the change to egg white cerivcal fluid/mucus and the change away from EWCM.

For myself, the two days leading up to ovulation are obvious EWCM and then the rest of the cycle I will see fluid, but much more on the creamy side. And, this will be different each cycle!

You have an obivous thermal shift with nicely elevated temps. I would keep tracking everything as well as you have been and hopefully with a few more cycles you will see a pattern for you emerge.

Hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions.
