Your vagina always has discharge as this is how it keeps itself clean and healthy, a clear gooey discharge may be fertile quality cervical mucus. Cervical mucus normally plugs-up the cervix to prevent anything getting through, but around a week leading up to ovulation this mucus changes to open the cervix and it leaks down into the vagina to help protect sperm from acidic vaginal pH and act as a medium to help it swim up to reach the egg.
This is discharge, it's how your vagina stays clean and healthy - it's slightly acidic to kill 'bad' bacteria but help 'good' bacteria thrive, cleans out dead cells, and keeps vaginal walls moisturised. You also produce extra discharge when you're aroused, this is one of the ways your vagina changes ready for penetration during sex to avoid pain or damage during sex - in your pre-teens or teens you can get this extra lubrication even when not really aroused. Discharge changes throughout your menstrual cycle as your hormones change, around 2-3 weeks before your period you also get fertile quality cervical mucus - this is mucus that blocks off the opening to your cervix to keep anything harmful getting into your uterus, but around a week before you ovulate this mucus changes and becomes stretchy gooey mucus. If you were to have sex this mucus is what helps keep sperm alive in the acidic pH of your vagina and helps it to swim up through the opening to the cervix to go on to meet the egg. Changes to your discharge help you recognise when you're fertile.
Your vagina is always wet for the same reason your mouth, nose, and eyes are always wet - the inside of your vagina is made of mucus membranes (like inside your mouth, nose, and eyes) which is like skin but without the top protective layer so more delicate. Discharge acts as lubrication to protect these mucus membranes from drying out and becoming damaged.Discharge also acts as a means of cleaning the vagina, it flushes out dead cells and dirt, it is also slightly acidic to kill harmful bacteria while allowing bacteria to thrive - thanks to discharge your vagina is cleaner than yours mouth. You also have extra discharge as lubrication when aroused to allow penetration during sex without damage, and a cervical mucus leading up to ovulation which is what helps give the sperm something to swim through so it can reach the egg.
