I know that CM doesn't really indicate anything for me since I'm on the pill, but after reading up on it, I thought it was weird that I have any at all. But what you said makes sense! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kind-of-tmi-question-why-do-you-have-cm-if-you-are-on-bcp#post-44805 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 23:22:09 +0000 cyneswith 44805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most BCPs mimic the luteal (post-O) phase. A lot of women have the fertile type of CM well after ovulation (I'm only dry between my period and O, though there's usually less after my fertile phase.) CM is only a useful indicator if you are OFF hormonal birth control. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kind-of-tmi-question-why-do-you-have-cm-if-you-are-on-bcp#post-44798 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:51:02 +0000 daniellemybelle 44798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So from what I know about cervical mucus, it is an indicator of ovulation, and depending on where you are in your cycle, it can help sperm get where it needs to go.</p> <p>...So if I am on birth control pills and don't ovulate, why would I have, um, a good amount of discharge on the regular? Is this something to be concerned about? </p>
