Mid cycle mucus - sorry!

So I am pretty sure I've no eggs left (had a scan) but I still get mid cycle mucus. I read that this is because I am taking estrogen so nothing to worry about. But this month has been weird. I upped my estrogel to 3 pumps (long story why) and then noticed that the so called mid cycle mucus ( it's not an infection) was going on for a long time - currently 2 weeks. So I did some research and it said it could be caused by too much estrogen. So I've now reduced my pumps (temporarily) down to one a day but still the mucus continues to appear. Any ideas what the hell is happening and am I right about the estrogen connection? Thanks and sorry this is a bit icky!

I am on the gel I dont get it midcycle but almost daily its like water gushing out of me, clear, odourless, forgot to ask the gynae when I saw him last week but am sure its due to the oestrogen in the gel.

Watery discharge could be the start of vaginal atrophy, it is quite a common symptom of this. If vaginal swabs show no infection, I would suggest trying some local oestrogen (Vagifem or Ovestin) to see if that does the trick.

You will find plenty of threads about *that* one, mine - "My Bladder etc."
Discharge is normal as long as there is no odour and it is colourless ;-)

Is it stretchy? If you can stretch it between your fingers to several centimetres it is high oestrogen. Watery and clear is not high as far as I understand it.This may help
