Does arousal change cervical mucus consistency?

I am on cycle day 13 in my 33 day cycle. According to my phone app ovulation will happen around day 16 to day 22. I checked my CM and it was yellowish and slippery and wet. I don't think iit's an infection. However, i had an incident around day 9. I took plan b (emergency contraception) amd started taking lots of vitamin c to acidify my cervical mucus assuming the acidity would inhibit the sperm from living. I'm
Confused because when I am aroused particularly earlier today, it was eggwhitish and elastic.

I hope I made sense :))

Oh, sorry about that. I did'nt know you had a failure with your protection.
Plan B can cause bleeding so try not to be scared. It's very effective if used within 72 of sex. If you happen to be late for your period you can take a test.

The best if luck with your exam. I really do think you're okay. Remember not to stress because it can make your period late.

It's okay to test. I hear from many of the women here that the tests at Walmart and the Dollar store are just as accurate as the more expensive ones. When is your next period due? If it's late try not to stress because Plan B can make your period late, early, lighter or heavier. I think you're fine though because you did use Plan B very fast.

The apps can be extremely helpful if you know for sure when you ovulate. Like most women I thought I ovulated about 2 weeks after the start of my period. Not so. My husband and I had sex 1 time that month, I was on vacation, and I got pregnant a few days before my period was due to start.
If you can get an ovulation kit it will tell you when you do ovulate for sure
Did the bleeding stop yet?

i really thought phone apps would be somehow helpful. anyway. i feel better now after your comment. I also looked up about withdrawal bleeding. so it's likely because the medication is absent that's why i started bleeding..

Not all women ovulate in the middle of their cycles so going off of your phone app is not the best idea to know when you do ovulate. The only way I know of for sure is to use an ovulation kit.
Plan B can mess with your cycle. It can make it come late earlier, it can be heavier or lighter.
Plan B is kind of expensive. It might be a good idea to buy some condoms because you can buy many of them for the cost of Plan B. They will also protect you from an unplanned pregnancy.
