Depending on the menstrual cycle phase, the vaginal discharge is subject to change in terms of amount, texture, and colour.
Thus, menstruation is typically followed by the "dry days", when little discharge is produced and it is barley visible on your underwear.
Then, the mucus gets sticky (pearly, white, or yellowish in colour) and can't be stretched between the fingers.
As ovulation approaches, the amount of discharge increases. During ovulation, it gets watery and transparent and resembles an egg white.
Such mucus texture facilitates the entry of sperm into the cervix. After ovulation, the amount of discharge decreases, it gets sticky again, and doesn't stretch well.
The changes in cervical mucus are associated with changes in hormone levels and are natural for the body.
For some women, the changes may not be as obvious as described. In this case, carefully monitoring the discharge for a few months can help.
i always monitor my discharge. during ovulation, its egg white and there's so much more of it than normal. It happens one to two weeks before I start my period.
