Billings Ovulation Method: A question about mucus

» mercury931 - A question about mucus

I've been thinking about getting rid of the Pill for many reasons. Most particular is that I'm learning lots of things about it that I didn't know before. I'm curious, after reading about the Billings Method, does mucus always mean it's your fertile period (ie. even if you are on the pill)? If I'm on the pill am I suppose to have that same "fertile period discharge"?

I always thought mucus was just a natural part of the process (which it is) but never considered it was something that wasn't suppose to happen when on the pill. Of course I also used to think you didn't ovulate on the pill either but a 3 cm ovarian cyst (benign) has taught me otherwise.

Thanks for the help
