For about a two years now, when I go to the bathroom, I have been experiencing a long, clear, gooey, (snot-like) vaginal discharge. After urinating I will notice(feel) something that is dangling when I get ready to wipe. This only happens maybe every two or three months, and it just happens that one time and goes away.

My OBY/GN cannot find anything wrong. I am 40 with no children. Pretty active and eat right. I am not taking any medications. I have asked other women who have not heard of anything like this before. I did have one woman say that it was gas coming out of my rectum. But this is coming from my vagina when I wipe.

Is there something going on with my ovaries, or the lining of my uterus??

thanks.

If it is clear and stretchy and only happens for a few days each cycle it is most likely to be the mucous associated with ovulation. This discharge can be quite heavy but is normal

I have read that the gooey discharge is released from your body naturally to help semen travel and stay alive while trying to reach an egg

You are experiencing a bartholin cyst. It's a lubrication gland. Apparently it gets clogged once in a while. Sometimes they just get backed up and then clear themselves out. Keep an eye on this, if it gets infected you may need to have it cleaned out by a doctor.
