When do you get vaginal discharge?

Answer 1

Women are complicated beings. Men who are in good health could theoretically be ready, willing and able to procreate (make a baby) several times a day 24/7 365 days a year.

Women on the other hand, have about 12 hours every month to conceive. The discharge that occurs every month is called cervical mucus. The type of mucus is directly related to the rise in estrogen that tells your ovary to prepare an egg to be released in anticipation of conception.


Most woman notice a lack of mucus in the days following their period. As estrogen increases your cervical mucus increases building up to ovulation you will notice it becomes more slippery and clear. The last day of slippery mucus signals ovulation will usually occur in 24 to 48 hours.


After you ovulate estrogen drops and progesterone rises. Your cervical mucus becomes sticky, thick and cloudy to white. Slight variations that are normal to you are of no concern.


So basically that discharge is to let you know all is well in your fertility. Observation of changes in cervical mucus is one form of natural family planning. Letting you know when it is or is not safe to have sex or the best time to have sex if you are trying to conceive.
