| 0:23.9 | Friday podcast, episode number 532. In today's episode, we are diving into cervical mecus, |
| 0:37.4 | and I'm kicking it off with a trick question, |
| 0:40.0 | which type of cervical mucus is most fertile. |
| 0:42.8 | So we are going to get into that and more in today's episode. |
| 0:51.1 | I think a good place to start is to define cervical mucus. Cervical mucus is essentially a liquid |
| 0:58.5 | gel. It has a really high concentration of water, anywhere from 90 to 99% water. And if you've |
| 1:06.8 | observed your mucus, if you have tracked your mucus, then you'll know that there's two broad |
| 1:13.1 | types. There's the type that looks like creamy white hand lotion, and there's the type that looks |

| 1:57.7 | And so I have a lot of clients who will assume that, okay, so I'm supposed to have my period, |
| 2:02.4 | and then I'm supposed to have dry days, and then I'm supposed to have the creamy stuff, |
| 2:05.6 | which is supposed to then lead into the clear stretchy, and then I'm supposed to ovulate, |
| 2:09.9 | and then I'm not supposed to see any. And of course, that is one of the optimal presentations |
| 2:15.8 | of mucus. But when you're actually tracking in real life, |
| 2:18.7 | it just is not always so neat and tidy. Real charts just don't look like that. So the question |
