Did You Know That There Is A Connection Between Ovulation And Discharge?

All of us women know it: Vaginal discharge. It serves a super important function, namely to protect us from infections and other things. But we might not always like the wet feeling in our undies. You might have noticed that on some days there is more discharge and some days there is less. But why?

Increased discharge may be a sign you’re ovulating. A quick refresher on this super awesome, fantastic highlight of your menstrual cycle: Ovulation occurs in the middle of your menstrual cycle, so approximately 14 days after the first day of your period, depending on how long your individual cycle is.

The average is 28 days, but it’s normal to have a slightly longer or shorter cycle. Before and during ovulation, your hormones change in order to signal to your ovaries to release an egg once a month. This flux in hormones also results in increased vaginal secretions that is vaguely like egg whites in texture and colour. Note that right after ovulation, discharge becomes less watery and a little bit stickier than discharge during ovulation. No need to worry. It’s all very natural.

In fact, ovulation discharge plays a pretty important role in fertility. If there were sperm present, the watery, egg white discharge would help ensure that it sticks around long enough to fertilise the egg that was just released.
