Question

I have been trying for a baby for the last couple of months. I have noticed this thick white sticky stuff, a bit like discharge, but i havent had it like this before.

Does any one know what it is. Sorry to sound disusting

Answer 1

Most women are unaware of the causes of normal vaginal discharge and may get unduly distressed. Some may even present themselves at the doctor's chambers for treatment.

Increased vaginal discharge is normal at some time during the menstrual cycle due to increased cervical secretions.

During pregnancy : During pregnancy, the level of oestrogen and progesterone increases in the body. These hormones are needed to maintain the pregnancy and help the baby to grow. They also stimulate the glands of the cervix to secrete large amounts of fluid, especially in the early part of pregnancy. These fluids then appear as copious vaginal discharge during pregnancy that is thick and whitish. The discharge is sticky without any smell.  

Answer 2

The cervical mucus is produced by the cervix and changes consistency throughout your menstrual cycle based on hormones associated with ovulation. Shortly after the menstrual period ends, the cervical mucus is dry and prevents sperm from penetrating the cervix. About a week before ovulation, under the influence of estrogen, cervical mucus becomes abundant, sticky, and thick. Cervical mucus throughout the menstrual cycle based on 28-Day Cycle: Cycle Day 1-5: Menses Cycle 6-9: Dry; little or no mucus Cycle Day 10-12 (OD-4): Sticky thick mucus, becoming less thick and whiter Cycle Day 13-15 (OD-1): (most fertile time) Egg-white or "spinnbarkeit" mucus: thin, elastic, slippery, stretchy, clear Cycle Day 16-21 (OD+2): Sticky, thick mucus Cycle Day 22-28: Dry mucus There are no significant changes in the cervical mucus which can tell you before a missed period reliably enough whether you are pregnant or not.
