![]() Understanding fertile mucus and fertile window will let you know when ovulation occurs. It usually occurs about one week prior to your next period. If after your ovulation discharge, you notice a brown discharge, then it’s likely because of pregnancy. Slight bleeding, implantation bleeding, can occur with mild pain which may come out as brown mucus discharge. After the sperm fertilizes the ovum, the zygote (baby) is implanted into the endometrium of the uterus. If there is a sperm waiting or sperm released on the day of ovulation, then fertilization will occur. This will lead to reduced progesterone and estrogen leading to the shredding of your endometrium and then your period. If there is no sperm to fertilize the egg released through ovulation, the corpus luteum will breakdown. What happens if the egg is not fertilized? ![]() However, this goes away in few hours or days. Here are some vaginal discharge women describe as ovulation dischargeĪlso, some women will experience slight pain or cramps that occur during ovulation. It does not smell and becomes creamy white after ovulation. It is stretchy, slippery watery egg white discharge that you will notice in the middle of your menstrual cycle. Your ovulation discharge, therefore, occurs before and during ovulation. However, both hormones increase blood supply to the endometrium making it ready for implantation. After ovulation the level of progesterone is dominant. Before ovulation, there is high levels of estrogen. The ruptured follicle forms the corpus luteum, which will increase production of progesterone and estrogen. This rupture can cause bleeding which can give rise to either a brown ovulation discharge or a pinkish ovulation discharge. What happens immediately after I ovulate?ĭuring ovulation, there is rupture of the dominant follicle with the release of the egg. This release of egg or ovum is called ovulation. The dominant follicle will then release the egg into fallopian tubes where the sperm will fertilize the ovum. Ovulation occurs after 24 to 36 hours after this surge or 12 hours after the peak of LH surge. This high level of estrogen will cause a surge of Luteinizing hormone (LH). At this point you will notice your discharge is now creamy white and increasingly gets watery and egg white as you get closer to ovulation. High estrogen hormone will cause proliferation of the lining covering the uterus (the endometrium) and development of one follicle (the dominant follicle). This FSH hormone will stimulate the pituitary gland (which is found in the brain) to increase secretion of estrogen hormone.Įstrogen hormone will continue to rise and stimulate the maturation of the follicles. How does ovulation work?ĭuring the first day of your period, which is the first day of your menstrual cycle, the level of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) is high. Ovulation is the process where one of the follicles grows bigger than the others and releases the ovum for fertilization to take place. In addition, throughout your lifetime, about 500 follicles will mature and release an egg for fertilization. At puberty, just 300000 follicles are present in both your ovaries. Each month or each cycle, your ovary releases one or more of these eggs.Īt birth, about 2 million follicles are present in your ovaries. Your body will not produce any new follicles in your lifetime. This is ovulation.Įvery woman already has a fixed number of follicles (which contains the ovum or egg). Within each menstrual cycle, it is expected that your ovaries release an egg into the fallopian tube. Normal menstrual cycle in women usually lasts for 21 to 35 days. Between each period is the menstrual cycle or ovulation cycle. The first time a woman will notice her period is menarche. Do you practice unprotected intercourse and want to prevent pregnancy? Then understanding your ovulation mucus and avoiding intercourse during this time will prevent unwanted pregnancy.Įvery woman will notice cyclical bleeding from the vagina. Getting pregnant is not the only reason you should learn about your ovulation discharge. If you’re trying to get pregnant then intercourse during your fertile mucus will likely get you pregnant. ![]() I have already written about fertile mucus in my previous post. ![]() If you want to know when you ovulate, understanding your ovulation discharge and period is the first step.Įvery woman will not ovulate at the same time during their menstrual cycle.
