Cervical mucus is a substance that forms in the cervix and is discharged through the vagina. It’s also known as cervical fluid or discharge. The amount and consistency of the cervical mucus changes throughout the menstrual cycle, and it's closely linked to fertility 💧⁠

You can easily track your cervical mucus with the Natural Cycles app 📲 Follow the link in our bio to learn more 🔗Summertime is just about here !! 🏊🤿⁠
⁠
Worried about leaving a bloody trail in the water behind you? 🩸 The good news is that the water pressure in both the swimming pool and the sea often temporarily stops your menstrual flow while you swim 🛑⁠
⁠
Your period doesn’t stop while you’re swimming, but the water pressure can stop menstrual blood from flowing out as you swim. If there are any changes in abdominal pressure – such as if you sneeze, laugh or cough – then some blood may be pushed out 👋⁠
⁠
However, there’s no need to worry if you’re swimming in a pool as the volume of water is so large, so if a small amount of period blood does escape into the water, it’ll be diluted and unlikely to be seen by other swimmers 💧 Follow the link in our bio to learn more 🔗In the animal kingdom, reproduction is often closely linked to the seasons 🗓️ Many animals time their mating so that they give birth in the spring or summer months when the weather is better and there’s more food available 🌤️ This makes a lot of sense as timing reproduction when the weather is best means offspring have the best chance of survival.⁠
⁠
Because we human beings are able to control our own habitat, we’re not as affected by seasonal changes. In addition, we also have access to birth control which gives us further power over our reproduction. ⁠
⁠
However, previous research has indicated that human reproduction might still be affected by seasonal changes, with conception rates being higher in the spring and summer 🌻 Follow the link in our bio to learn more 🔗⁠
