| 0:23.5 | podcast, episode number 534. In today's episode, we're taking a deep dive into cervical |
| 0:36.1 | mucous. I'm delving into a study that examined how effective cervical mucous tracking can be |
| 0:43.7 | to optimize your chances of conception. |
| 0:46.9 | So without further ado, let's go ahead and jump right in. |
| 1:00.0 | All right. Well, the study that we are going to be delving in today, it's called cervical mucas secretions on the day of intercourse, an accurate marker of highly fertile |
| 1:05.3 | days. And so like I said at the top of the episode, I'll be linking the abstract to this episode. |
| 1:12.4 | So you can find it in the show notes page, fertility friday.com slash 451. |
| 1:18.6 | And we're just going to delve it to what this study talks about. |

| 1:42.3 | types of fertility awareness-based methods. The Billings |
| 1:46.4 | ovulation method is a mucus-only method. And the way that the users of the Billings method are |
| 1:53.9 | trained to observe and test mucus is a little bit different to the method that I teach. I'm trained |
| 1:59.3 | in the Justice method. I teach simple thermal and I teach external wiping and there's a whole mucus classification system |
| 2:07.3 | that I teach my clients and practitioners. But with the Billings method, it's a little bit different |
| 2:13.1 | and it's more based on observation, sensation, it's not an external wiping method. |
| 2:19.6 | But either way, you're still very adequately trained to identify the various changes in cervical |
| 2:26.3 | mecas and to identify the difference between different types so that you can identify days of fertility. |
