Abstract

Cervical mucus observation may be difficult for women who experience continuous mucus throughout their menstrual cycles. This study aims to prove the value of cervical mucus methods for these women. Rather than examining a woman's onset of cervical mucus, this study evaluates the "Point of Change" in the mucus and its correlation to the woman's hormone levels.
