A member asked:

Is it possible to ovulate a few days after your period ends? egg white discharge happened and now that it's ovulation time my discharge is milky white

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: You can ovulate a few days after your period. Periods can normally last up to 7 days and cycles can be as short as 21 days and still be normal. You ovulate 14 days before your next period starts. So in a 21 day cycle with a 7 day period, you would ovulate the day your period stops. Hope this helps.
