Abstract
A quantitative taxonomy for classifying the cervical mucus cycle is established, using standardized descriptors for mucus type, quantity, consistency, and Peak Day timing to produce objectively comparable cycle profiles across patients and study populations. This classification system is indispensable to NaProTECHNOLOGY research and clinical correlation, as it enables the linkage of specific mucus pattern anomalies to underlying endocrine pathology.
