Ok I have no idea what this is. Just now I wen to the bathroom and when I wiped, sorry, on the tissue was a lot of mucus. I've had discharge before, the normal kind, nothing like this, it was blobby and very sticky and had like a tinge to it kind of like bloody. What is this?!?!?

There's a good chance it's EWCM. What CD are you on? I'd consider it very fertile.

[Gigi323]

EWCM? What's that?? I'm on day 12. It was really sticky. I didn't mean to "play" with it but I never had that before.

EWCM= egg white cervical mucus. It's the most fertile kind of cervical mucus. You need this "discharge" for the sperm to survive in your vagina and cervix, or it will die within a few hours.

How long does this mucus last??

[rlh27]

until you ovulate or just before ovulation.

According period trackers I should be ovulating the end of the week or over the weekend. So if I have sex between now and then I could possible get preg?? Sorry for all the questions I'm new to conceiving.

Yes, the best time to have sex is when you have clear, slippery, wet feeling cervical mucus. You can learn more about how to observe your fertility signs from the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. Fertilityfriend.com also has a lot of good information.
