Describing Sensations, Mucus Observations and Bleeding

The words and symbols used here to describe observations of dryness, sensations, and mucus are representative of a wide range of observations. The photographs of mucus that follow are a good representation of what you may observe.

Of all the observations possible, you may experience only some. When you are charting at the end of the day, pick the description that best describes your most fertile observation. Chose your description from the list of Observational Notations on the back of your Justisse Method Chart.

Though you may experience a similarity in your mucus patterns from cycle to cycle, it is not uncommon for your mucus pattern to change due to stress, illness, medication, or other variables. It is best that the mucus pattern of each cycle be charted and interpreted as seen, not as anticipated.

About Using Observational Notations

The Observational Notations code system on the back of the Justisse Method chart has been carefully designed using feedback by thousands of women. It is a system for helping you accurately describe mucus and bleeding observations. Choose the notation that best fits your day’s observations.

If you find these codes confusing or not suitable to describe your observations, then we support your creating your personal notations. However, remember that if you should decide to use personal notations be consistent in how you use them to avoid confusing yourself when interpreting your cycle and comparing charted information from one cycle to the next. We suggest that you make a legend for any personal notations on your chart. This helps you but it also helps anyone who might be assisting you in interpreting your charts and cycles.
