Differences Between Cervical Fluids

Cervical fluid can be overwhelming when you first start charting, but it is such a big indicator of fertility that I think it's the most important sign to chart. Let's chat about some ways to tell the differences between the different types.

This channel is honestly my bible into the FAM world. You make me feel like i'm not some sort of irresponsible freak who will obviously get pregnant, but a woman who is simply sick of pumping her body with artificial hormones. Thank you!

[@taytaysharrard]

how has it worked for you? I'm so ready to get off the pill and am in the beginning phases of my research about to start some books and stuff before I get off.

[@LH-be6gn]

tay5250 Yes! 2 years later and I’ve had no scares or problems along the way. The book ‘taking charge of your fertility’ by Toni Welscher is a great starting place :)

[@jennifernapier5760]

Gosh, Im in my 30's and no one has ever explained any of this to me! Thank you for opening my mind to something soo informative!

[@iamsuperlious]

It's crazy to think how little this is talked about in real life. I am a lot older now and well aware of cervical fluid, but as a young girl I thought that there was something wrong with me, like you said an infection of some sort. I even went to the Doctors and explained to them what I experienced and they just checked me for infection and said I was fine. It wasn't up until I starting learning on my own about my body that I realized what the heck it was that I experienced. You'd think that this would be something that is talked about. I just watched your newer video as well (why we should teach our daughters) and I think it is so important that we do teach them so they are aware of these changes and don't automatically assume something is wrong with them.

[@harleycampbell100]

So happy that you talk about this stuff. I've always been very self conscious about the fluids and different phases thinking I was some freak and this didn't happen to other women.

[@alisonhaas6377]

As a Catholic, I am incredibly thankful for your videos. FAM is consistent with the teachings of The Church and this is helping me understand my body and practice my Faith. THANK YOU.

[@bitsnpieces-3107]

THANK YOU VICTORIA FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS!!!!

[@LifeinLithuania]

Thank you SO much for talking about these topics!! It's so important for us to learn about our bodies without being ashamed or embarrassed.

[@sbrichcreek]

This was very informative. I really appreciate your explanation.

[@jacquelynsparks7077]

Perfect video. I love that you also tied in Kindara into the discussion, since that's the app and thermometer that i use. Their chart looks slightly different than TCOYF, so it's nice to hear that explained.

[@Mishy732]

I am learning so much about my body! Thank you so much for educating us and inspiring us to do our own research and not to feel like something is wrong. 🤗

[@Appleboo222]

Wow when you were describing this I was blown away that I knew I saw differences but I didn't know they are normal and common! THANK YOU!

[@ztsyxcvg]

Your doing such an important job! Thanks for your content. Really appreciate what you’re doing! ❤️

[@FemmeHead]

Thank you! :)

[@pandapoo94]

This was SO helpful! Thank you 🙏🏻

[@meganc3090]

Thank you for explaining this! I've been trying to track my cycle but wasn't 100% sure on what my cervical fluid should look like but this video helped so much

[@debrabros2650]

So helpful thanks Victoria!

[@ericagoehring1089]

Great little primer on CM. Thanks!

[@daniellemccowan1192]

Thank you so much for the video! I loved the illustration of the using a meter, I'm definitely going to start using that!

[@AlohaSissi]

I usually get confused between sticky and creamy but this was super helpful and now I think i understand how to tell them apart!! thank you

[@melissawilson4796]

Thank you for just explaining this in a concise, mature, straight forward way without constantly apologizing it’s so ‘ gross’. Good content!

[@crazy1whodgetshot]

Thank you so much for the information

[@sheeptripoverfence]

Thanks for your videos. I’m slowly watching them all while I’m finishing off my last couple months left of birth control pills. I’ve been on it for over 10 years. I’m super skeptical of stopping but I really want to get to know myself. Downside: I don’t know what menstruel cramps feel like and not looking forward to finding out. Thanks for the inspiration and all your insight

[@sofiakarlsson963]

Loved it!

[@desireeluciano]

Thanks 😊

[@emeliasoderlund]

Thank you for being the only person I can speak about this with (at least sort of) :p

[@offthemodernpath2280]

Thank you 👌🏽

[@bookwormgirl9536]

This makes so much sense. I’ve defiantly noticed the different consistencies throughout the month.

[@katherinepeterson1560]

You are so helpful! ☺️

[@karo8191]

Hey :) I have a question about checking the cervical fluid...usually in my luteal phase, I will experience a diference between what I see/feel in my underwear and what I actually check myself. What should I “believe” or take as determinative?

[@CourtneysChaos]

Hi there 👋🏻 I am about to start FAM. One of my subscribers has pointed me in your direction! Loving the FAM videos so far. I do have a couple of questions. 1. How can you tell the difference between cervical fluid and semen if you’re having unprotected sex? And 2. How does FAM work for someone with irregular ovulation? The one time I finally managed to pinpoint my ovulation (with OPKs).. it was the day after my period finished. Can I still use FAM? 😬 Thank you!

[@ChelsCrovetto727]

This is exactly what I needed today! I'm on my second chart post IUD and the first cycle which I actually have CM and was having trouble distinguishing between sticky and creamy! Thank you Victoria!

[@Linamac4]

What if I do not experiment all the kinnd of fluids?

[@KitoKitteh]

how bout watery cloudy?

[@ciarahughes1828]

So helpful thanks x

[@shreetamohad2561]

What kind of discharge is sign of early pregnancy?

[@Lemoncholy7]

Love this video! Side note: I’m happy to give you the 667th upvote. Not superstitious...just happy to add one

[@AmberGDhert]

I remember being younger and having so many questions on this, so did my girlfriends at the time. We thought we were gross. Shame it’s not talked about more.

[@Ste4203]

I only ever get the creamy lotion type :( does this mean I’m non fertile? Will I have trouble conceiving:(

[@SaraSa-gm2ig]

What does milky cervical mucus 3 days dpo mean? Is it normal or does it mean positive pregnancy?

[@nicolemoore5005]

Okay, so it may be TMI, but just started charting, and I have a question. The first day after my period ended, I had sticky cervical fluid, then the next day, it went to the super fertile, slippery, stretchy, egg white fluid. However, my cycles are generally 34 days (I have been tracking my period on its own for years), so I shouldn't be ovulating for another week or two. Is this normal? From what I see, I should only get this fluid right before ovulation.

[@prdaAndy]

Hi Victoria! Would you recommend to use panty liners for tracking your cervical fluid? I use them every day (except for my menstruation days) because I hate the feeling of wetness and also discharge ruins my underwear pretty quickly. But I'm not sure if panty liners are good for tracking? Any advice /opinion on this?

[@ccap3211]

prdaAndy as long as you don't get yeast infections I don't think it should be an issue. I know it's recommended to wear thin cotton underwear so your vagina can "breathe" so wearing pantyliners all the time would prevent that which wouldn't be good for someone who is prone to yeast infections, But if you don't ever get yeast infections then I wouldn't worry about it!

[@ambotdilimachangeanguserna1691]

Hi! Is it okay to have clear sticky and like an eggwhite kind of discharge, two days after your period ended?

[@MrGegeca1]

You're ovulating

[@nikkihernandez4912]

Question: how can you tell the difference between your dry days and days when you have the wet, saliva-consistency type of cervical fluid? Because the vagina/cervix usually has moisture all the time, right? So if I pull my finger out and it’s wet, it could be either a dry day or a wet day...right? This is stressing me out 😕

[@kyleecrook171]

I think if its just damp, with no discharge on your finger, youre infertile.

[@nadinecalisthenics]

What is the app called?

[@taylorlucas8970]

Nadine hettinga kindara

[@artaly4346]

What if don’t get sticky egg whitey fluid at all? Usually it’s very watery and then very creamy and then it dries out. Love your video ❤️

[@jaz.herself]

Arta Ly same ! I’d like to know.

[@faithpatrice630]

I had issues with having weird cervical fluids, no egg white, no sticky no nothing and it used to be smelly... I prayed and God delivered me and brought me back to how I was originally created. Glory be to Jesus❤️❤️❤️

[@aann7132]

faith patrice wtf

[@faithpatrice630]

I Glorify Jesus For helping me see my Normal cervical fluid again. Thank you Jesus, I went through a lot of infections until Jesus Came to my rescue. I love you Lord❤️

[@kadianmorrison30]

Is not every one watching this don't want to get pregnant so I care

[@shanstovall]

Like, why tf is this not talked about in sex ed? It's ridiculous that I am a 28 year old woman and never really considered how important and special it is to know what is actually going on with your body and vagina.

[@FemmeHead]

You're not alone in asking that so don't worry! It's never to late to learn about your body!
