"Egg-white" like discharge?

I have been reading a lot on learning your body and trying to conceive. Some articles mentioned that when you ovulate, you shed lining that resembles "egg-whites". So my question is, when you see this "egg-white" like discharge, are you about to ovulate, have you ovulated, or are you ovulating at that time?

Answers:
Sounds like you're Clear and Stretchy, meaning that you're ovulating (see below)

"Different Types of Discharge

White: Thick, white discharge is common at the beginning and end of your cycle. Normal white discharge is not accompanied by itching. If itching is present, thick white discharge can indicate a yeast infection.

Clear and stretchy: This is "fertile" mucous and means you are ovulating.

Clear and watery: This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising.

Yellow or Green: May indicate an infection, especially if thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.

Brown: May happen right after periods, and is just "cleaning out" your vagina. Old blood looks brown.

Spotting Blood/Brown Discharge: This may occur when you are ovulating/mid-cycle. Sometimes early in pregnancy you may have spotting or a brownish discharge at the time your period would normally come. If you have spotting at the time of your normal period rather than your usual amount of flow, and you have had sex without using birth control, you should check a pregnancy test."

When you see the "egg white" cervical mucous, that is the best time to have sex if you want to conceive. The stretchy, wet stuff is there to help the sperm get to the egg.
