Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Can not conclude: One can not draw conclusions regarding ovulation or you luteal phase based on watery mucous during one cycle. You could try a home ovulation kit to confirm ovulation. If your discharge continues then schedule a visit for testing for bacterial vaginosis and other infections.
