Could Stretchy Cervical Mucous Be Indicative Of Ovulation Or Pregnancy?

I m wondering if I m pregnant. So, I thought I had ovulated on 6/24 j 6/25. I engaged in sex on the 23rd. Today is the 27th and I ve had some cervical mucous that is stretchy and white. It didn t last all day. Just a period of about and hour. I m wondering if I m ovulating or pregnant or if I should even be worried. Help please?

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1) First of all do not panic.
2)Prediction about pregnancy can be done once you miss your periods.
If you happen to cross your dates, then please get morning's first sample of urine tested for pregnancy. In case of any doubt, blood beta HCG test or USG will be of help.
Usually, after the date of ovulation next menses occur after 14 days , if there is no pregnancy.
3) Secondly,cervical mucous is thin , watery and colorless on and around the day of ovulation. White , thick mucus indicates 24 hours have been over after the ovulation.
4) I will suggest you to wait for the onset of menses.
Start on folic acid and Vitamin B12 supplements regularly on daily basis.
This helps to prevent various complications during conception, pregnancy and delivery.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
With regards
Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar
