Does Sticky White Mucus Discharge From Vagina Indicate Fertility?
Question: i heard that if u have egg white vaginal mucus then it means u have good fertility and if you have sticky white mucus this is not good for fertility. i dont always have egg white mucus around ovulation. some months i see it and other months i dont. does this mean i am not ovulating or not fertile? my husband and i are going to start trying for a baby soon.
Brief Answer:
You have wrong information
Detailed Answer:
Hello
I understand your concerns about mucous discharge around ovulation.
Egg white discharge is seen if there is vaginal infection. Clear sticky discharge is the healthy discharge and you have perfect healthy discharge and I see no reason to worry.
You seem to be ovulating normally.
Another better method to confirm ovulation is to do urine test for ovulation. There are kitsavailable in market for confirming ovulation.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
