A member asked:

If you never see that "egg-white" discharge that is associated with high fertility, does that mean you are infertile?

Dr. Seth Derman answered

Specializes in Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility

No: You have infertility if you have been unable to conceive after a year of unprotected intercourse. While egg white discharge suggests you may be ovulating and have good cervical mucus, it does not mean that you can or cannot pregnant.
