What does leucorrhea look like during ovulation?

The leucorrhea during the ovulation period is relatively thick, mainly for the discharge of eggs. At this time, the leucorrhea will appear stringy and the amount will be relatively small. At this time, the content of female hormones reaches the highest, and the leucorrhea will be formed into thin strips and be greasy. The chance of conception during sexual intercourse at this time is the highest. Let us now understand what the leucorrhea phenomenon is during ovulation, and then do the relevant inspection methods.

What does leucorrhea look like during ovulation?

The main component of leucorrhea is cervical mucus, which is controlled by hormones secreted by the ovaries. In the first half of the menstrual cycle, that is, before ovulation, the amount gradually increases and becomes thinner and more translucent, causing the lower body, which has been relatively dry after menstruation, to gradually become moist. Make changes according to the changes in our body to better reflect our own effects.

During ovulation, estrogen secretion reaches its peak, the amount of cervical mucus is the largest, and its toughness is the greatest. Thin strips of leucorrhea often flow out, which can sometimes be as long as more than ten centimeters. At this time, the woman's lower body is the wettest. When the above-mentioned strip-like leucorrhea flows out, there will be a greasy feeling. This large amount of cervical mucus secretion during ovulation can last for about 2-3 days, which is when women feel the most moist.

After ovulation, the ovaries secrete (progesterone), which prevents the excessive secretion of cervical mucus, reduces leucorrhea, and dries the lower body. After about 10 days, menstruation comes. 1-2 days before the start of menstruation, the amount of leucorrhea increases slightly, but it is not as transparent and sticky as during the ovulation period. The changes in the wetness and dryness of women's lower body caused by the amount of vaginal discharge, such as less, more, and dryer, are the periodic changes of vaginal discharge.

Due to the increase in estrogen levels in the body, the epithelial cells of the cervical glands proliferate, the secretion of cervical mucus increases, and the sodium chloride content in the mucus increases, which can absorb more water. As a result, the female's leucorrhea becomes mucous when approaching ovulation, and becomes clearer, smoother and more elastic, just like the state of egg white, and has the characteristics of high stringiness and not easy to break. The last day of the appearance of this mucus is within 48 hours, which is the ovulation day.

What are the symptoms of ovulation?

1. Decreased appetite: Studies have shown that women eat the least during their ovulation period. Experts point out that this is the result of human natural instincts that have been preserved to this day - female animals during ovulation will focus more on finding mates rather than finding food.

2. Energetic: This is also a natural instinct inherited from humans. In order to successfully attract the opposite sex, women in the ovulation period will become energetic and love to show themselves.

3. Decreased resistance: During ovulation, women's vaginal mucus becomes thinner, which allows sperm to pass more easily and increases the chance of successful conception. At the same time, women's nasal mucus also decreases, which increases the chance of bacteria invading the human circulatory system.

4. A small amount of uterine bleeding: Since the ovaries not only have the function of ovulation, but also control the secretion of female endocrine hormones, the fluctuation of estrogen secretion in the body before and after ovulation will cause a small amount of uterine bleeding, which is called ovulation bleeding. This is another sign of ovulation, which some women may mistake for menstrual irregularities.

5. Mild pain in one side of the lower abdomen: The mature egg is discharged from the surface of the ovary and has to break through the follicle that covers the surface of the egg. When the egg is released, a small amount of fluid in the follicle will flow into the lowest part of the pelvic cavity; sometimes there will be a small amount of bleeding at the site where the egg is released from the ovary during female ovulation. Therefore, some women during ovulation may feel a slight falling sensation in the anus, and may also feel slight pain in one side of the lower abdomen. If you pay close attention, the same female ovulation symptoms will appear in the other lower abdomen next month, and these painful female ovulation symptoms will disappear after about a few hours.

6. Changes in body temperature: After ovulation, the secretion of progesterone causes the body temperature to rise slightly. If you can insist on measuring your basal body temperature every morning, you can find out your ovulation date based on the change in body temperature from low to slightly high.

7. Increased sexual desire: Generally speaking, women’s sexual desire will be particularly strong during their ovulation period, which is a reflection of the fact that the body’s signal that women want to get pregnant has reached its highest level.

8. Slight fever in the afternoon: Although some people have not tested their basal body temperature, they will feel a slight fever in the half month after ovulation, especially in the afternoon, and the fever will disappear after the menstruation comes.

9. Breast swelling or pain: Many women also experience breast swelling or nipple pain during ovulation. Sometimes the nipples are almost unable to be touched. The breast symptoms may continue until the eve of the next menstrual period.

10. Changes in vaginal secretions: The most obvious sign that women feel when they ovulate is the change in vaginal secretions. Female ovulation symptoms: In the first half of the menstrual cycle, the vaginal discharge is small, sticky and opaque; as the ovulation period approaches, the vaginal discharge gradually increases and is thin and milky white; during the ovulation period, the amount of discharge increases significantly and is watery, transparent and clear. Women will feel their genitals are wet and slippery, and there will be egg white-like strips of mucus when wiping with toilet paper. Symptoms of female ovulation: This vaginal discharge lasts for 2 to 3 days, and this period is the time when women are most likely to get pregnant.
