I'm interested in using NFP, or the rhythm method, as a means of birth control and also learning how to chart for when we are ready for a baby. I just wanted to ask is there a batter time to check cervical mucus? Also a naive question, to check it do you have to feel all the way to your cervix or is it the same thing as the discharge in the vagina so I can just check at the opening?
Re: Cervical mucus
I don't think there is any time that is better than others. I usually check right before I hop in the shower. As for gathering a sample, you can check whatever you wipe onto toilet paper. I don't produce very much, so I go up.
