Timing not right: Ovulation usually occurs mid-cycle. Day 1 of a woman's menstrual cycle is the first day of her period. If the woman has regular periods on a 28 day cycle, ovulation should occur on Day 14. The discharge you describe is probably just the end of your period.

Stretchy egg white vaginal discharges occured twice in a cycle 11 days apart. Period is late. Does that mean my estrogen surged twice with no ovulation (LH surge)? Is there a way to induce LH surge in this case? Thank you?
