[cherrybabe21.livejournal.com]

Ok so I was just wondering, is it n ormal to see vaginal discharge in your vagina? I know this is a weird question, but one I was just wondering about? And is it normal to have it alot not every day but every other day or so. No burning no pain, no itching, nothing like that with it, its just there.

yes

Yes it is, as long as it's not itchy/burning/awful smelling/strange colors/etc.
Everyone has different amounts, at different times, it's perfectly normal.

Ok so it is normal to see it in there when you spread it apart also? Thanks for all the helpful comments

It is normal:) Its part of your vagina cleaning itself (I believe) and also has to do with what part of your cycle you're in.

As already answered, yes it's perfectly normal.

Basically- you create cervical mucus that is in a variety of 'types' there's sticky, creamy, watery and eggwhite (all based on the consistency). As your body produces more estrogen (so as to release the egg) the cervical mucus changes. The eggwhite variety is the most fertile, as in sperm can survive in it later. If you ever have a lot that is really stretchy- you're probably really fertile at that point.

After you ovulate progesterone takes over and the cervical mucus 'dries' back up as you are no longer fertile.

I highly recommend Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler to everyone woman. You can learn so much about how your body works and what certain signs mean.

the egg albumin version has to be the most annoying. hello wiping 3546437 times just to clean up after a potty visit!

Spinn or Spinnaker fertile discharge. It is meant to capture the sperm to aid in conception.

i'm aware of what it is, it's just bloody annoying.

Very normal! So long as nothing abnormal is occurring, you should have nothing to worry about.
