At the initial stage of pregnancy, the occurrence of discharge is regulated by progesterone. After the first trimester, estrogen enters the active phase, causing the mucus to become voluminous. The secretion is homogeneous, without any admixture of clots, lumps, or flakes.
Its consistency is similar to egg white. Mucus discharge may be white or clear. A woman should not be bothered by itching or burning. Bloody, brown, yellow, white secretion is a reason to visit a gynecologist for diagnosis and initiation of therapy.
In the second week after fertile conception, the embryo attaches to the walls of the uterus. During this period, a woman may notice several pink or yellow spots on her underwear. It is a creamy mass that contains some blood.
Discharge appears from the genitals due to the fact that the embryo implants into the mucous membrane of the uterus, destroying its wall at the site of attachment.
Many women may confuse mucus with menstruation, but they are different in nature.
After unprotected sexual intercourse, you should pay attention to the secretion released. Before menstruation, it remains thick, whitish, creamy in consistency, and the amount of discharge is minimal. If a woman becomes pregnant, the mucus becomes liquid, transparent, odorless and colorless.
