6. Luteal Phase
When ovulation ends, the fluid produced is going to change as well. You may not notice a visible change at first, but once ovulation is over the fluid is going to become fibrous and harder for sperm to penetrate. The first couple of days after ovulation are a part of the luteal phase. This phase of the menstrual cycle acts to inhibit fluid secretion from the epithelial cells.
During this time there may be little discharge. If discharge occurs it is often sticky or something unique to your own personal body. It is important to note that every woman is unique and the changes of fluid and discharge mentioned by show up differently or may be interpreted or experienced in different ways. There are many normal phases of discharge and for the most part are simply the female body’s way of preparing for fertilization of the egg.
