What you are describing is cervical mucus, indicating ovulation. Cervical mucus is very stretchy and looks like egg white. Non cervical mucus is watery. The pill regulated your cycels to a 28 day cycle. You perhaps have a different cycle, so track everything. When you have this stringy mucus, you are probably ovulating. If your cycles are longer (or shorter) than 28 days, perhaps you ovulate later or sooner than you think. An excellent book for you to get is: Taking Charge of Your Fertilty by Toni Weschler. It is very easy to read, and lots of great tips. An article I wrote for Obgyn.net goes into this in a bit more detail: http://www.obgyn.net/yw/articles/PatS_fertility_0799.htm Pat Sonnenstul, ARNP, CNM, MS
