A member asked:

I ovulated on the 6th, i had unprotected sex on the 1st. on the 8th & still continuing, i had mild cramps & thick white mucus discharge. what is this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mittelschmertz : This is a term used for the pain that accompanies ovulation, and which usually last for a day or so after the event. If you think the cramping is from something else, or is not improving on its own, please have an OB examine you and find out what is happening
