Observing the characteristics of cervical mucus can serve as a woman's indicator of her most fertile days. This is because the appearance of the cervical mucus changes throughout the menstrual cycle due to varying hormone levels.

However, having sexual intercourse on fertile days does not guarantee pregnancy.
