Ovulation?
Hi all, just following on from a question below titled Quest to conceive, one of the answers said that discharge around the time of ovulation was different, could someone please explain this? Does it mean that when you have slightly more discharge mid cycle, does this mean that you are ovulating at this time? Many thanks in advance

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Around the time of ovulation the body produces cervical mucus that looks and feels very much like egg white (often referred to as egg white cervical mucus, surprisingly enough!). This type of discharge is usually seen for only a day or two and does not mean that ovulation has definitely taken place, only that the body has attempted to ovulate.
Throughout the menstrual cycle cervical mucus changes in amount and consistency and these changes can be helpful in pinpointing fertile times.
changes in cervical and vaginal mucous can predict ovulation and thus fertility. The changes are subtle and vary from woman to woman but each woman with careful observation can through time begin to predict relative fertile times of the cycle. It is used in a form of contraception called the billings method.Fertile times are classically when the vaginal mucous is slippery rather than sticky.
