It looks like regular female discharge.
The ovulating discharge is not clear; it's milky white.
And no harm done if you have sex again :) You will boost up your chances of conceiving.

Sounds like your ovulating! Congratulations, and I hope you 'catch that egg'!
I say this because you have given me two indications in the information that you included that it is a possibility. The first indication you gave me is that you had your period 2 weeks ago. Assuming that you have a 28 day cycle, where day 1 is the first day of your period, and day 28 is the day before your period is due to arrive. Statistically, most women will ovulate on day 14 of their cycle (or 2 weeks after your period, as you mentioned). So, you are in the perfect time frame to have been ovulating.
I also think that it is highly probable that you are ovulating because of the discharge you have mentioned. Most women will get clear dicharge (cervical mucus), on the day that they are ovulating. Some also notice that this discharge is rather stretchy, and this helps to draw the sperm close to the cervix.
The first and easiest way is to get a blood test from your doctor.
You can also buy an at home ovulation predictor kit, although these aren't always 100% accurate.
You can also chart your body basal temperature. On the day of ovulation, and every day after that until the beginning of your next cycle, your temperature is one degree higher than normal. It is recommended that you take your temperature before you get out of bed in the morning, and at the same time as movement affects the reading.
You can also examine the position of your cervix. When you are ovulating, your cervix is low and soft like the inside of your cheek. At all other times, your cervix is high and hard like the tip of your nose.
When you are ovulating, you may feel slight twinges around your ovaries
I'm going to provide you with the link to a website that I found very useful whilst I was TTC (I'm now 21 weeks pregnant!). It's called Fertility Friend, and it has an in-depth description on what a woman's cervical mucus/discharge should be like at different times of her monthly cycle. It should be a great help to you.

Most likely this means you are about to ovulate. Most women ovulate about 14 days after there period. So if you are trying to get pregnant have some fun. Personally I seem to have a discharge when I get close to ovulating. Good Luck!

If the discharge is stringy and clear, then yes, it usually means you are ovulating, but it doesn't hurt to have sex more just in case, there are ovulation kits out there

Just in the days prior to your period you should notice a clear, possible 'gluey' discharge this is a sign of ovulation and the best time to try to concieve......however the best way to help yourself is to not put too much pressure on yourselves....relax!

Well, when you have your discharge is when you are ovulating, so if you do want to get pregnant then I guess have sex. What ever you and the father (if you do get pregnant) would want to do.

It could mean you are preg. Most women have alot more discharge when preg, but it could just be a normal thing for you. If you are concerned about it call your doc.

check out this site - it is about cervical mucus and what the consistency of it tell you about whether you are fertile at that time (ovulating) or not fertile (not ovulating) at that time.
Good luck!
