The cervix is the opening to the uterus. A canal, just like the vagina. Most of us are only aware of our cervix when we come to have that dreaded pap smear test. ⁠
⁠
But did you know that the cervix contains specialized cells that respond to the rise and fall of the hormone estrogen by changing the type of fluid or mucus secreted? ⁠
⁠
It is the cervical mucus that is a biomarker of fertility. In my learning programme I will teach you how to observe your cervical mucus and chart each day to know when is the optimum time to conceive. ⁠

You can tell so much about your fertility but also about your gynecological health from charting these signs. Some forms of mucus or the occurrence of mucus at obscure times in your cycle can indicate an inflammation of the cervix. Continuous mucus throughout your cycle can also be a symptom of PCOS! ⁠
