Is cervical mucus good or bad?
It lines the cervix, vagina, and vulva, creating a protective barrier between the body and the environment. The mucus also plays a major role in fostering healthy bacteria, protecting from pathogens, helping sperm reach the reproductive tract, and even signaling disease and pregnancy issues to clinicians.

What your cervical mucus is telling you?
If what you find is wet, watery, and slightly stretchy, ovulation is very likely close. Find time for some baby-making sex. If what you find is very wet, stretches between your fingers for an inch or more, and resembles a raw egg white, your cervical mucus is very fertile.
How can you tell your pregnant by your cervical mucus?
During the first weeks of a pregnancy, cervical mucus may change in color and consistency. You may notice stickier, white, or yellow mucus, known as leucorrhea. As your pregnancy progresses, your vaginal discharge may continue to change.
