A member asked:

Is thick stretchy white/yellowish cervical mucus fertile? i've read it's the watery stuff that is but also herd about that being fertile too

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: Although vaginal discharge can be caused by multiple reasons a " stretchy " discharge in mid cycle is usually a sign of high estrogen level just prior to ovulation and in that case it is consider a good sign.
