- Sign of ovulation (Body is looking to get pregnant)

- Good indicator to use protection and other contraceptives

2. Cloudy White

- Normal for some women to have a cloudier colored discharge compared to number one

- If the discharge looks different and you’re feeling something out of the ordinary, like itching and soreness, then it’s a possible sign of infection

5. Bloody or Brown Color
