Hi, Mhiz Vicky

Thank you for your post.

I see another moderator has helped you with this subject as well. Did you see your gynecologist as she advised you?

To answer your question about "white" discharge: thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.

Clear and stretchy: this is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating. Immediately prior to ovulation, most women usually detect increased vaginal secretions that are wet and slippery (similar to the consistency of raw egg white). Generally, your body produces the greatest amount of this type of vaginal discharge on the day of ovulation.

Best,

Helena
