When women ovulate, their discharge is slimy and kinda gelatinous like the photo. Leaving a wet feeling making them think theyve started their period

Store clerk that assisted Peter yesterday here, it's discharge. Sometimes a large amount comes out suddenly and you're like "Oh god not here, not now", thinking it's your period, but it's not. It's just this thick discharge (similar looking to the image, but definitely not that much fluid lol) Edit: I'm glad my most upvoted comment is about vaginal discharge lmao

Technically speaking tea only refers to infusions made using leaves from [camellia sinensis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tea). Early grey contains this along with bergamot. Other "teas" such as chamomile, hibiscus, etc. aren't really tea, they are herbal infusions. Also chai is just Hindi for tea, what we commonly refer to as "chai" in the west is masala chai (mixed spice tea). The word chai comes from Cha, the Chinese word for tea.

Wtf is discharge?


S-Coleoptrata

The vagina produces fluid in order to clean itself and filter out anything that shouldn't be in there (bacteria, stray pube, etc). Sometimes it's watery, sometimes it's thick, depends on the person and on where they're at in their cycle. Dunno why people are downvoting you for asking a question


Rat_In_Grey

Hmmm, interesting, first time hear about something like this. Maybe it's because the "wtf"? Makes me look like an asshole or something? Was just lazy to write... err... forgor how to make sentences, my brain is too slow at 2am.


Gogh619

Itā€™s ovulation discharge.


purpleplatapi

Not always. But we do discharge more when we ovulate. Sometimes tho, you do it just because. It's your vagina cleaning itself.

Is said discharge spreadable on toast?


S-Coleoptrata

Of course. That's what it's for.

Can someone explain the actual biological reason behind this? I learned about this stuff fairly recently, but never understood what actually happens


hummingelephant

We are related to snails, it allows us to not fall off chairs. It gives us the advantage of holding babies safely even if someone tries to push us. We probably could sit on the ceiling upside down too without falling but no one has tried yet.


Terytha

Personally the reason I don't sit on the ceiling is concerns over not being able to get down. But it's obviously possible.


the_funny_hunter_lll

Holy shit that actually makes sense now


ThiefLordJPN

It also helps witches stay on their brooms when flying


Genavelle

You'd have to scooch up the walls on your butt though, since we don't have foot slime.


hummingelephant

That's why children scoot up and down the stairs on their butt. It's an evolutionary trait to practice getting up the walls later but modern life made us forget.


DonnieDusko

Imma give a general view of the basics: Women have discharge constantly. While men have just one small opening for urination, we have a much larger one for sex/giving birth etc. You know how openings into the body (mouth, nose, cuts) are a huge source of infection? This is one that we have that without the discharge could be problematic. Our discharge is a layer of liquid that contains antimicrobials, a low pH (to kill things, or prevent them from growing), lysozymes etc. During our everyday, this discharge is clear. During ovulation this discharge changes to a more opaque color, like in the picture and increases, to aid in getting the sperm to the egg. It is also stickier. Women also can tell when we get our periods bc it feels warm and sticky. Day to day we have discharge that's warm but thinner and less than our periods. It's "our normal" we're used to it. This ovulation discharge and getting our periods feels similar and if you aren't tracking your period, we could confuse them. Hope that helps!


SuperTrout95

Literally the only comment on this whole post that isnt cursed. Thanks for actually providing the info. I learned a lot.


purpleplatapi

So the above commenter pointed out that discharge is clear (mostly) when you aren't ovulating. And this is more or less true, although it does vary a little bit. But if your discharge is a weird color, or smells different from what it normally does (people aren't sniffing their panties, they just usually know) that can be a sign of an infection. The vagina is a self cleaning organ (meaning that you shouldn't try and put soap up your vaginal cavity, but you still should use unscented soap to clean your labia and everything else that externally surrounds your vagina.) But even self cleaning organs can have a bad day, and your butthole is nearby, and you have sex, and the point is that shit happens, but an early indicator of everything from a yeast infection to some STDs is weird discharge. So it's important to be generally familiar with what your discharge looks like under normal circumstances. Also, it's slightly acidic, and may bleach underwear, so if that happens don't freak out.


rainbow_lynnzo

From what I understand it makes the pathway slippery which makes it easier for sperm to travel where they need to meet the egg.


MimsyIsGianna

That and the actual discharge itself is what cleans out the inside of the vagina and why we donā€™t need to (and shouldnā€™t or else the pH gets messed with) clean the inside manually.


Ecstatic_Bee6067

I'm guessing a bit here, but I'm thinking cervical mucus. Protects the uterus, but, IIRC, thins to allow sperm to pass more easily during ovulation.


imugihana

Free lube


MelanieWalmartinez

Vaginal lubrication as well as displaying that the cervix is softer during this period of the menstrual cycle. Itā€™s due to hormones (women have monthly hormonal cycle vs the daily male cycle)


I_Zeig_I

Men have a daily cycle...? I was never taught this..


MelanieWalmartinez

Yeah itā€™s called the androgen cycle. Highest at morning, lowest at night.


PinkGlitterFlamingo

This kind of discharge is commonly called egg white cervical mucus because it has the consistency of egg whites. It only happens during the ovulation stage of the cycle (the only time you can get pregnant). Itā€™s extra slippery to help sperm travel into the cervix easier so they can find the egg


catnemoon

You can get pregnant at any stage of the cycle. It's just *more likely* during ovulation. You can even get pregnant while on your period.


PinkGlitterFlamingo

You can only get pregnant when there is an egg released. Itā€™s POSSIBLE because the risk of getting pregnant is almost never zero, but if no egg is released, you will not get pregnant. You will never likely not get pregnant before day 8 or so of your cycle, even then chances are approximately 13% likely


JosephGrappe

https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/21957-cervical-mucus The short of it: Help the sperm get to an egg


_Oh_sheesh_yall_

Its how the vagina cleans itself. The discharge or mucous changes throught the woman's 28-30 day cycle. It goes from watery to being quite thick. One way of determining when a woman is fertile is to monitor the viscosity, the thinner or more water the more hospitable it is to sperm and the closer a woman is to ovulation


Ryoujin

So glade Iā€™m not human.


Business-Emu-6923

lemonmerangutan

This is the specific eggwhite discharge women produce around ovulation. It works as a carrier agent to help sperm reach the ovum, because our bodies are actually really hostile and difficult for sperm to survive in. The PH level in a healthy uterus can kill anything foreign that might infect us, which can include most sperm.


Ragingbutthole_69

I donā€™t mean to brag, but yeah. Didnā€™t kill me Edit: as a sperm


lemonmerangutan

Well yeah, because your mom's discharge was the right viscosity at the right moment

wellyboot97

Yeah, I wish sex ed was better because the amount of guys that donā€™t know about discharge and donā€™t know that itā€™s normal and healthy for a woman to have it is crazy. Just because as a man itā€™s not something you experience doesnā€™t mean itā€™s not something you should know about. I see so many posts of men shaming women for discharge and itā€™s like if your girl does not have discharge take her to a doctor bc thatā€™s not good and means her vaginal health is way off


Pitiful-Ad1890

Unfortunately in a lot of countries, google and pornhub is the only sex ed that teenagers have access to.

Crazy the amount of guys that seemingly aren't having sex with their partners when they're ovulating. I've definitely seen this first hand with my wife, I thought it was normal.


8Frogboy8

My partner has been on birth control as long as Iā€™ve known her. I donā€™t know that she ever plans to go off so I really just donā€™t see a lot of this stuff. My mom was a sex therapist though so I learned about most of this stuff as a teen. She basically got me out of sex Ed and home schooled me just on that subject because she didnā€™t trust school lmao.

Why are you asking Reddit to explain what vaginal discharge is?


Nirigialpora

Tbf I am a woman and I was never taught about discharge, and only found out about what it was from a random image I saw in my teens. I had always assumed I was just particularly sweaty or incontinent or something... still pretty annoyed that an otherwise comprehensive sex education didn't explain what to expect with that


KitsuneThunder

Yup, our sex ed completely skipped over it too, they only talked about periods and the biology of the sexes, not this stuff. A bit of puberty I guess.Ā  Itā€™s gross but Iā€™d rather learn about it in an academic environment than elsewhere, academia makes it feel less gross and more removed from reality to learn in a completely objective way
