Vaginal discharge, such as Spinnbarkeit mucus, is a normal occurrence for women.
This mucus bang out is referred to as spinnbarkeit, a German word that means stretchable.
Spinnbarkeit mucus is the stringy, stretchy quality of cervical mucus found especially around the time of ovulation.

Spinnbarkeit mucus has a longer duration in younger and more fertile women.
The probability of conceiving a baby is highest on that day.
After ovulation the presence of progesterone causes the mucus to dry up.
There may be a sensation of dryness at the vulva and there is no mucus discharge.
Vaginal infections, sexual arousal, lubricants, and even medications can alter the appearance of vaginal discharge.
