A member asked:

I notice clear mucus and tender breast always a week before my period. could that be ovulation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Pre Menstrual: It is common to experience breast swelling & tenderness, as well as stringy, viscous cervical fluid in the ovulatory, pre-menstraul phase before your period. It is nature's way of preparing the body, hormonally, if fertilization had taken place.
