The fundamental question for a woman who wants to become pregnant (or wants to avoid it) is to understand when she is fertile.

search for a child. It is precisely at that stage that almost all women begin to become aware of how their bodies work in terms of fertility.
Perhaps they had noticed the discharge but had never associated it with ovulation, as well as breast tenderness.
It happens more often than you can imagine that a woman comes to the doctor complaining of abundant discharge which is nothing more than cervical mucus that appears just before ovulation. Learning to know your body avoids worrying unnecessarily about symptoms which are completely natural.
And it is important to record the presence of mucus , together with all the other primary and secondary symptoms associated with ovulation because they indicate that the woman is fertile and that there is a good chance of having a pregnancy soon (obviously in the absence of other problems).
One of the obvious signs of high fertility in women is softness of the breasts. You may also notice a change in sexual desire, observe spotting near ovulation characterized by small bloody discharge. Some women suffer from cramps and abdominal pain and in these cases there is no difficulty in understanding the fertile days.
Typically these symptoms appear about 5 days before ovulation.
Ovulation usually occurs between 11 and 16 days before the start of menstruation.
