Hi igr2492
Thanks for your post! Vaginal secretions are very normal throughout the month and you are correct, the thicker "jelly-like" substance is seen most often during ovulation. In fact, this is one of the best ways to track your fertile time of the month. This discharge is nothing to worry about and is, in fact, a sign of a healthy monthly cycle.
Thanks for writing to us!

hey susan! by the way, can u plz tell me wht happen if the same kinda discharge occur during pregnancy as well? do i still ovulating with having a 22 wks old fetus in my womb? or is tht something fishy?
May 29, 2011 - 6:37amHi snq,
Women do not ovulate when they are pregnant, but due to the increased hormones, you can experience different types of vaginal discharge (thicker, more quantity, etc). As long as it does not have a bad odor, there are no symptoms of itchiness or pain, it is most likely normal and healthy discharge.
Do you have any pregnancy books available to you, so you can read what to expect and all the changes your body will be going through during your pregnancy? There are great books that detail these changes (and talk about things like vagina discharge that is normal versus vagina discharge that has blood---this kind of discharge you need to call your OB/GYN immediately).
Are you currently under the care of an OB/GYN?

Hi! Thank you for your reply. I recently experienced having heavy discharge. I thought i was getting my period but i looked and saw it was clear/whitish, and reaaally jelly like and almost like mucus. Should i be worried? Is there chance that i am pregnant? the last time i had sex we used protection. and a week and a half before that i just ended my period induced by plan b pills after unprotected sex.

Thanks for your post. As we said up above, this discharge is normal. The heavier it gets (the jelly) is an indicator of ovulation. If you miss your next period take a pregnancy test but what you are experiencing is a normal part of a woman's monthly cycle.

Hi! I know that you said it's normal, but I've been experiencing this again. But now it goes with lower back pain and a bit of cramps. Sometimes the discharge is lumpy or cheesy but it has recently gone from that to really jelly like. I've also missed my period but I stopped the pill so I'm irregular again. My last sexual activity was last week and it was protected. It can be a little itchy on the outside. What could be happening?
February 21, 2012 - 7:33pmAlso, I've taken two pregnancy tests, a week apart from each other. Both are negative.
February 21, 2012 - 11:34pmHi again!
It sounds like you may have a yeast infection or other kind of infection. You should get this checked with your doctor.
Best,
Susan
