Mensturation
White discharge appears from
the day 12 to day 28 of every month. But the thickness of discharge varies from
day 12 to day 28.
Very thin and clear white
discharge like transparent color appears during the ovulation period. Women who
undergo fertility treatment and want to get pregnant can have intercourse during
the period. Usually it appears from the day 12 to day 15. (Usually it is called
egg white discharge).
The thickness of white
discharge can be noticed from the day 20 to day 24. During this time milky
white discharge/ slight creamy white can be noticed...
From the day 25 to day 28 or
till onset of menstrual period we can see very thick cream white to grey
discharge in the private part. This tells that the woman is not ready for the
fertilization. This slight grey to brown discharge indicates the onset of menstrual
cycle.
Pregnancy White discharge
Many common questions arise
whether there is difference between pregnancy discharge and Menstrual
discharge. As every woman eagerly want to know whether they are pregnant.
The answer for the above
question is. No. From my personal experience there is no big difference between
the pregnancy white discharge and Menstrual cycle.
Very few people say that they
have no discharge when they have pregnancy test is positive. But many people
including me experienced bad white creamy somewhat thick (not so thick) all
throughout the pregnancy period.
Very few women notice very
thin watery discharge which is not the discharge of fluid in uterus. This type
of discharge occurs when the woman sit on floor, carry heavy weight, when they
are in this type of discharges. Even though medical attention is provided this
type of discharge can’t be stopped.
During sexual intercourse
During sexual intercourse thin,
silky, egg white like white discharge helps as a lubricants for the sperm to
enter to get contact with the egg. It reduces the pain due to friction when the
penis enters into the vagina during the sexual intercourse.
During Fertility treatment:
During fertility treatment
women can experience creamy white discharge smooth to thick consistency due to
the increase in progesterone hormone. Progesterone hormone tablets will be prescribed
by the doctors in order to make endometrial lining for implantation friendly.
Women who are in fertility
treatment should not search for the white discharge indications. As the tablets
prescribed by the gynecologist will alter the body system. So no one can predict
what type of white discharge it is. If the color varies it should be reported
to the gynecologist.
