5. Later Follicular Phase
When a woman is nearing ovulation the cervix will begin to produce more cervical fluid. The fluid becomes stretchier, clearer, and more slippery and wet. It is often compared to looking like a raw egg white. This type of fluid and discharge often peak a couple of days before ovulation occurs. This is the point in the cycle when the estrogen levels are the highest. During this time the fluid is very stretchy and can often be pulled several inches between your fingers.
Some women may have fluid and discharge that is a bit more water. The amount of fluid or discharge that a woman produces is different across the board. The fluid is mostly water, about 95 percent. The rest is made up of solids including organic compounds, electrolytes, and soluble proteins. If you are sexually active and tend to use lube, chances are you will need less during this phase.
