Question

Why do I experience increased discharge around ovulation and sometimes need to change my underwear?

Answer 1

I would sometimes smear my panties when I ovulated. Also felt a dull ache in the lower abdomen (ovary). A little distracting, but not a problem. Ah, fertility!

Answer 2

Clear or milky white OK Brown or red have the doc take a look Use your panty shields, it will cut down on Panty changes.

Answer 3

have you been sexually active without protection? could be chlamydia or another STD (it happens to a lot of people without them knowing...don't be embarrassed). Otherwise, you might have a reproductive system problem...i don't know what it was called, but a friend of mine has a lot of pain in the uterus area during ovulation and also during menstruation....something is wrong with her and the doctors have taken care of it...i suggest you see a doctor....or go to planned parenthood if you might have an STD

Answer 4

pretty normal , this discharge and the pain u feel are clear indicators that u are actually ovulating.

Answer 5

Increases in vaginal mucus discharge generally have nothing to do with fertility. The nature of vaginal mucus changes and the quantity increases during normal sexual excitement and in cases of inflammation and infection.. . The changes associated with ovulation occur in the cervical, not vaginal, mucus. For most of the menstrual cycle, the cervical mucus is thick, scant and impenetrable to sperm. During the four to five days around the time of ovulation, the mucus changes to become copious, watery, thin and readily penetrable to sperm. This change in cervical mucus is usually not apparent to the woman and so cannot be relied upon to ascertain the time of ovulation and the subsequent "safe period.. i hope if the discharge is itchy,smelly,different colour or frothy,u may need further investgaton by meeting your GP.if u have a further doubt contact me...
