After ovulation, the texture changes and the cervical mucus tends to become much watery, with a stickier feel.

You should know that this is a very normal function of your body and there is absolutely no need to worry.

Spotting during discharge: Should You Be Concerned? 

In some cases, women may experience spotting during ovulation, and the colour of the spotting can range from light pink to brown.

Colour of Ovulation Discharge - card 

While understanding the connection between ovulation and discharge is crucial, it's equally important to delve into its characteristics such as colour of ovulation discharge, and potential spotting. This knowledge can provide further insights into your reproductive health.
<br>

One distinctive feature of ovulation discharge is its similarity to the texture of egg whites. This type of discharge is commonly referred to as "egg white discharge" and is often observed during the fertile window. The colour of this discharge during ovulation is typically clear and stretchy, resembling raw egg whites. The increased thickness serves a specific purpose during ovulation, supporting the survival and movement of sperm within the reproductive tract.
<br>

The colour of discharge when ovulating can vary, but it is commonly clear or slightly cloudy. Some women may notice a subtle change in the hue of their discharge during ovulation. It's important to emphasise that variations in colour are usually normal and not necessarily indicative of a problem. Monitoring changes in colour alongside other ovulation signs can enhance your understanding of your menstrual cycle.
<br>

After ovulation, the texture and colour of the discharge may undergo further changes. The cervical mucus tends to become more watery, and in some cases, creamy discharge after ovulation is observed. This transition is a natural part of the menstrual cycle and is associated with the closing of the fertile window.
