So in some girls, mucous, pinkish discharge up to monthly can be observed directly at the time of ovulation. The reason for this is a change in the hormonal background in the body. In particular, increasing the level of estrogen often leads to the fact that a small, insignificant part of the mucous membrane of the uterus is rejected, leading to a violation of the integrity of the blood capillaries, which burst, begin to bleed a little, which gives color to secretions. Therefore, if pale pink discharge is observed not before the monthly, but 12-14 days before the date of menstruation, most likely, the reason for this is the ovulatory process.
It must also be said that some girls, shortly before menstruation (2-3 days), appear uninvolved, pink discharge.
