Describing the Colour of the Mucus

B = Brown or R = Red/Pink indicates the presence of blood. These colors may be seen close to ovulation day accompanying mucus, or a day or two before menstruation begins or as it is ending. If you see these colors on the tissue on a L or VL day at the end of menstruation, and there is no mucus present and no sensation of lubrication present you may consider it a dry day. If you see these colors anywhere else in your cycle you must consider yourself of peak fertility and count 3 days after the last day brown or pink was seen. This is unusual bleeding. Consult your HRHP whenever there is unusual bleeding so its significance can be interpreted and discussed with you.

C = Cloudy mucus includes white, opaque, or creamy colors.

C/K = Cloudy/Clear is mucus that is partly cloudy and partly crystal clear.

K = Clear is mucus that is crystal clear.

CY = Yellow / Y = Yellow (even pale yellow) tends to appear if there is an infection or a very small amount of blood. For some women it is normal to have this color.
