As ovulation nears, your discharge will become wet, stretchy and slippery. The most common analogy used for super fertile cervical mucus is looking and feeling like raw egg whites. If you see that texture, you will know you're at your most fertile time. After ovulation, your cervical mucus goes back to thick and dry.
Type 4 – high fertility
Appearance: mucus is transparent, like raw egg white, stretchy/elastic, liquid, watery, or reddish.
Summary. During early pregnancy, cervical fluid may look thinner or more watery. If a person experiences implantation bleeding, the fluid may contain a little blood. However, other factors can also cause these changes, along with the other early signs of pregnancy.
Usually, you get fertile egg white discharge for one or two days before you ovulate. These are your most fertile days, and if you want to conceive, have sex when you see it. It's also possible to have EWCM for up to five days before ovulation. Or, you might get it for only one day.
Clear and stretchy — This is “fertile” mucous and means you're ovulating. Clear and watery — This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising. Yellow or green — May indicate an infection, especially if it's thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.
You ovulate around day 14 — this is generally the last day in your cycle when you see fertile cervical mucus or ovulation discharge. It tends to take place 4 days after cervical mucus that looks like raw egg whites appears [8].
Cramping and spotting: A brown vaginal discharge for 1-2 days is experienced after a successful implantation. Some women may also experience cramping on the days during implantation. Breast discomfort: Tenderness of the breasts can be experienced along with light swelling.
Your most fertile day, and the day you are most likely to ovulate on, is the last day of egg-white cervical mucus. You can also track your ovulation hormone using at-home ovulation tests (sometimes called an ovulation predictor kit, or OPK).
Some women mistake cramps and spotting for the start of their periods. White, milky vaginal discharge. Almost immediately after conception, your vagina's walls start to thicken, which can cause a white, milky discharge that may continue throughout your pregnancy.
Vaginal discharge is an early pregnancy sign that is typically thin, milky-white, or colorless. You may notice a mild odor or none at all.
Fertile discharge is thin, clear or white, and slippery, much the same as an egg white. This type of discharge signals that ovulation is approaching. Fertile cervical fluid helps sperm move up the cervix to fertilize an egg. It also keeps the sperm healthy during the journey.
within 24 hours of ovulation, the egg is fertilised by sperm if you have had sex in the last few days without using contraception. about 5 to 6 days after ovulation, the fertilised egg burrows into the lining of the womb – this is called implantation. you're now pregnant.
The trophoblast begins to push its way into the uterine lining. Next, the trophoblast actually pulls the egg inside of the uterine wall. It then directs blood to the fertilized egg. Implantation takes place about nine days after ovulation.
That means it's highly unlikely that you can get a positive pregnancy test before implantation. The earlier you take the test, the less hCG there is to detect, meaning that the test may not yet be accurate.
Cramping
Ovulation can cause mild discomfort in the form of light cramps or twinges in the lower abdomen. You may feel ovulation cramping on one side of your abdomen (on the side that's releasing the egg). This is known as mittelschmerz (German for "middle pain").
Ovulation symptoms you may notice include light cramps, changes to your cervical mucus, breast tenderness, a libido boost and mood changes.
Implantation cramps are commonly felt in the same location as menstruation cramps. Not everyone feels cramping during implantation. Those who do may detect implantation cramping in their lower abdomen or lower back. Sometimes, implantation cramps only manifest on one side of the body.
Implantation itself usually occurs between six to 12 days after the egg is fertilized.
Creamy white discharge after ovulation
This discharge is meant to help sperm reach the viable egg in your uterine tube. Once ovulation is over, vaginal discharge usually changes again. The phase immediately following ovulation is called the luteal phase of your cycle.
After ovulation, your cervical mucus thickens or dries up, then you eventually get your period. However, if you conceived at ovulation, you may still produce some cervical mucus and vaginal discharge. This can indicate to some women that they might have conceived.
If thick, white discharge goes along with other symptoms, such as itching, burning and irritation, it is probably due to a yeast infection. If not, it is normal discharge. You may also notice an increase in thick, white discharge before and after your period.
About 11-14 days after implantation, a woman's hCG levels are high enough to start causing early pregnancy symptoms. Some of these might include fatigue, food cravings, darkening in the color of the nipples, or gastrointestinal changes. When a woman experiences these symptoms, a pregnancy test may show up positive.
