As a first time ttc, I have only very recently been really looking at the stuff my body produces, and cm is one of those things of course...
But I hazard to ask, what should it look like (a) during ovulation (b) just before and after menses and (c) at any other time such as not ovulating or near menses...

I am ovulating right now and my cm is thick, mostly clear with a tint of white (sometimes a tint of yellow, but that could simply be because I just went to the toilet and my pee is yellow)....
I know, I know, TMI.... but I just am curious, I don't know if my CM is normal, or otherwise icky and I should get it looked into.
