do you always get cervical mucus when you ovulate?

Question

I used an ovulation kit this month and i got a possitive on tuesday but i didnt have any (cm) dose this mean the test was wrong or can this happen?

Answer 1

This can happen, sometimes you can get cervical mucus before you ovulate as well as after. Some women dont even get cervical mucus when ovulation is occuring every women is different. Have you tried doing your temperature aswell this helps you pinpoint ovulation. God luck :)

Answer 2

You should always get mucus when you ovulate. Mucus production is controlled by Progesterone, which also effects ovulation. You could be experiencing one of two things:

1. You are not producing enough mucus. This can be easily remisied by simply drinking more water and increasing your vitamin A intake (either take a supplement or eat a few more carrots!)
2. You OPK test was wrong. Personally I think that these kits are a waste of money as by charting your cycle, your body will tell you for free when you are ovulating.

Answer 3

This can happen. usually you will have cm in the days before ovulation and on the day of ovulation itself. However some women have cm all month and others have none.

The best type of cm is egg white stretchy fluid which will stretch between your fingers (disgusting I know)..

If you never have cervical mucus then possibly discuss it with your doctor as it could delay pregnancy because the mucus makes the vagina and womb ''sperm friendly''. and encourages the sperm to get through the cervix and fertilise the egg. But dont worry to much about it as I sai every woman is different

Answer 4

not everyone has mucus at ovulation, but your best bet is to take your temperature, it does work i done this with my second baby and it worked the first month. good luck

Answer 5

if it was positive tuesday it would of been positive either day before or day after therefore u were ovulating
