What is a Mucus Plug and Why is it Important? Fertility co.

- Alternative Health
If you’ve been listening to me rabbit on about mucus for any length of time now, then you would know that I see it as the number one indicator of your fertility.
The key to understanding when you are fertile or not fertile relies on you being able to track the changes in your cervical mucus throughout your menstrual cycle. So what you see and feel is everything when it comes to identifying your fertile window.
And the research shows that this is really effective.
Why? Because studies show that cervical mucus is the most reliable of all your body’s fertile signs. More than taking your temperature, cramping, spotting or sore boobs, your mucus is the primary indicator of ovulation and your fertile window.
In this episode, we’re talking about your mucus plug. What the hell is it and why is it so important in determining whether or not you are fertile?
Here’s What We’re Talking About:
An inside look at the cervix and how mucus is producedChanges in mucus patterns throughout the menstrual cycleThe mucus plug during your non-fertile phasesWhat happens to the mucus plug during ovulation
