Hey, so I have a question. What does creamy cervical mucus means? So I believe a had ewcm 2 days ago (The day I "ovulate") then it went to sticky and i didn't feel that wet unless i try to touch myself there. Now I was walking and i feel like a pee myself. But it was lots of cervical mucus. It was white, watery a little bit sticky couple hours later im checking to see if is the same but now it just watery or sticky. (i don't know how to describe it) It is normal? My period is due December 4th and i have a 25/26 cycle.

Thanks!

Dear Express123,

Thank you for your question today on EmpowHer!

Egg white cervical mucus (EWCM) is a type of cervical fluid that is produced right before ovulation. This mucus is called EWCM because it strongly resembles raw egg white in that it is clear or streaked and is very stretchy and can be watery.

Most of the time, vaginal discharge is perfectly normal. The amount can vary, as can odor and hue (its color can range from clear to a milky white-ish), depending on the time in your menstrual cycle. Example, there will be more discharge if you are ovulating, breastfeeding, or are sexually aroused.

However, if the color, smell, or consistency seems significantly unusual, especially if it accompanied by vaginal itching or burning, you could be noticing an infection or other condition. In that case, you should see a doctor. What you describe seems to be normal.

Best,
Helena
