Egg White Cervical Mucus: Ovulation Signs & Fertile Window

Egg white cervical mucus (EWCM) is a clear, stretchy cervical mucus that is produced in large amounts during ovulation and the days leading up to it. Because EWCM is a sign that your estrogen levels are high, which is an indication that you are about to ovulate or are ovulating, not just that you have already ovulated.

Therefore, if you have been observing egg white cervical mucus for a few days, it is likely that you are in your fertile window and thus, it is a good time to have unprotected sex if you are trying to conceive or use another method of birth control if you are trying to avoid pregnancy.
