A member asked:

According to my period tracker. today is the day i ovulate. i noticed that i had white stringy and light brown tinted discharge. is that normal??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Ovulation bleeding: At the time of their ovulation, some women notice a stringy discharge and spotting. The spotting comes from a slight drop in hormone levels at the time of ovulation.
