Why do you ask? I’ve never paid attention. Mucus basically dries up. Temperatures fluctuate quite a bit, I think.

Or are you asking about determining pregnancy? If you have 29 days of elevated temperatures, you can go to your doctor and say you are pregnant. The doctor won’t believe you, but you’ll save the price of a test kit. 🙂
 
I also don’t remember what the mucus was like, but the elevated temperature thing is right. I believe that your temperature stays elevated throughout the pregancy, which is why pregnant women complain of being warm all the time (at least I did 😉 )…
 
After ovulation a woman’s basal body temperature rises usually about 4/10ths of a degree. That is caused by the rise of progesterone in her system. If she becomes pregnant, that progesterone level remains elevated because progesterone is needed to sustain the pregnancy. The influence of progesterone would likely cause the muscus to remain abscent, and the temperatures to remain elevated. This is all normal for a healthy pregnancy.

Yes, normally, you would be dry (no or little mucus) during pregnancy, just as you should be dry during your post-ovulatory phase of your cycle. One thing to be aware of: if you are early in pregnancy and have constant mucus, speak to your doctor. Constant mucus is a sign of low progesterone, and is a common cause of early miscarriage. But if it is detected, the progesterone can be supplemented. I’m not sure how much mucus is too much. But I do know one person who saved her baby by detecting a low progesterone problem and supplementing early in pregnancy.
