Why am I so wet lately? Is it normal? Read on to see what this wet feeling tells you about your fertility and sexuality.

Every day I receive many questions from women around the world asking about their cervical fluids.
Some of the questions concern fertility and pregnancy.
Some concern sex and health.
I’ve seen confusion, embarrassment, and even shame expressed – regarding the natural fluids of our body.
Cervical fluids may seem dirty, gross, or unpleasant. But I’ve learned that they are clear, tangible, and useful indicators that can help us understand our body’s rhythms, our fertility, and our health.
Wet Days Versus Dry Days
Once you start charting your menstrual cycles and cervical fluids, you’ll notice the distinct pattern of cervical fluids throughout your cycle.
It may look like the chart below if you have a 28-day cycle.

To put it simply, you have wet days and you have dry days.
On the wet days you’re fertile, and on the dry days you are not.
The important thing to observe is whether you feel wet or dry down there. It’s rather intuitive.
If you observe an increasing amount of moisture around your vaginal area especially with a slippery sensation, you’re likely to be fertile, and vice versa.
6 Stages of Cervical Fluid in a Cycle
Here is the typical pattern of a woman’s cervical fluids during her menstrual cycle…
1. Menstruation
There is no cervical fluid during menstruation. You’re infertile at this stage.
2. Absence of Cervical Fluid (Dry Days)
Right after your period, you have a few days without any cervical fluid. However, it’s possible that you may not notice this change if your menstruation lasts a bit longer, say 5-7 days. You’re also infertile at this stage.
3. Pasty Cervical Fluid (Dry Days)
After a few days of dryness, you may observe a type of cervical fluid that is pasty, tacky, crumbly, gummy, springy and dry like rubber cement (usually white or yellow).
Note: Even though this type of cervical fluid is not conducive to sperm survival, it’s considered possibly fertile if it occurs right before ovulation.
4. Creamy Cervical Mucus (Wet Days)
In the next few days, you’ll notice a creamy, milky and smooth vaginal discharge (usually white or yellow), and feel the wet, moist, gooey, or cold vaginal sensation. This is an indication that you’re approaching ovulation and you’re fertile during this stage.
5. Slippery / Egg white-like Mucus (Wet Days)
Then you may notice clear, slippery, egg white-like discharge that can be stretched from one to several inches.
Even though it’s usually clear or streaked, it can also be yellow, pink, brown or red-tinged, which indicates the presence of possible ovulation bleeding.
Women in their early 20s may have as many as five days of slippery eggwhite discharge, but women in their late 30s may have only a day or two, if any.
During these days you’re extremely fertile. So juice up for lovemaking if you’re trying to conceive, or use protection if you don’t want to get pregnant.
Note that you may still be fertile if you feel the wet vaginal sensation a day or two after the slippery or stretchy cervical fluid has passed.
6. Absence of Cervical Fluid (Dry Days)
After ovulation when estrogen has peaked and progesterone has taken over, your cervical fluid dries up quickly – usually in less than a day. Here you have a window of dry days until your next menstruation. However, this is accurate only if you have ovulated. So it helps to chart your ovulation.
Always Wet Down There?
If you are always wet down there, you may be wondering if it’s normal. The short answer is, it depends.
Sometimes you may notice clear and watery discharge at different times of your cycle. This is normal, and it can be particularly heavy after exercising.
However, if you’re feeling wet all the time while experiencing symptoms such as PMS, irregular periods, irritability, etc., it could indicate a sign of estrogen dominance, since the amount of cervical fluid is closely related to estrogen levels.

Before I started charting my cervical fluids, I had no clue about the stages of my menstrual cycles, when I was fertile and when I was not. Now I’ve learned to rely on them to tell me where I’m at during my menstrual cycles – with consistency, reliability, and predictability.
You can too. By simply observing whether you are wet or dry down there, you’ll learn much about your own fertility and hormones.

Hello im experiencing milky white discharge this happend to me sept. 12th then nothing on Sept. 13 but on sept. 14th it happend again also having cramping in my foot and headache and constipation period isn’t due for a week though could i be pregnant?
I am feeling wet but no discharge at all and today is my menses date
it is wet almost 3 of the 4 weeks of the month .i am guessing that is acceptable. though i visited a doc few months back and she only suggested having yogurt and one wash with something medicinal
I gotten my period on the 6th of this month but for about a week ive been having clear egg like moistness on my vagina …and been having unorotected sex.. Could this mean im pregnant!!?? -johanna
This could be from you ovulating. If you are having unprotected sex there is a chance while ovulating you can become pregnant.
I am moist/wet every day. I don’t have dry days. I decided it’s normal for me, but I don’t understand why my body does this. I fantasize about not wearing a pantiliner, lol.
I wasn’t sure if this was normal but I totally agree! It is now apart of my daily routine wearing pantiliners. I have to shave so I don’t get an odor!
Moisture and wetness in the vaginal area is a sign of fertility. If you don’t have signs of imbalances, it’s a good thing. 🙂

Hi Raghav, sorry for the delayed reply. How is your girlfriend? Is she okay now? I wonder if her pain in the vagina was due to an infection or the friction from sex. If it hasn’t gone away, she’d better go to see a doctor to make sure that everything is okay. Your caring and support would mean a lot to her.
