A member asked:

Is it normal to have brown cervical mucus 2 days before period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Perhaps yes: Some spotting or brown discharge a couple days prior to your period is fairly common. If you have any pain or vaginal irritation it might indicate an infection or endometriosis, and you should see your doctor.

While checking the strings on my copper IUD today I noticed my cervical mucus was quite watery (with little to no stretch to it); I finished my period 3 days ago. I was wondering if this was normal? Does it mean that I'm ovulating?
