The following information is from: http://www.justmommies.com/articles/cervical-charting.shtml
There's more information if you go to the page.
"Cervical mucous can be dry, sticky, creamy, or egg white consistency. You will want to record the type of cervical mucous you have on your fertility chart. If you do not want to use the basal body temperature method of charting, you can simply watch for fertile signs. What you are looking for is an increase in cervical mucous. Cervical mucous during ovulation has the appearance of eggwhite. If you are charting it is a good idea to write down what kind of cervical mucous you have during your cycle. This will help you to establish the most fertile days of your cycle. You can also watch for the day that your temperature shifts on the bbt chart and see what kind of cervical mucous you are having during that time. If you are having a hard time deciding what your most fertile cervical fluid looks and feels like, having your chart to look at can be a guide.
These are the types of mucous you will see during your menstrual cycle.
Dry: At the beginning of your cycle, prior to ovulation you will likely produce little to no cervical mucous. Also right before your period should start your cervical mucous may become dry again. If you do not notice cervical mucous you will want to record this on your chart as dry.
Sticky: You may notice sticky cervical mucous prior to ovulation. It feels sticky to your fingers when you touch it
Creamy: As you get closer to ovulation you will notice thicker, creamy-looking cervical mucous. This mucous looks and feels similar to lotion.
Eggwhite: Eggwhite cervical mucous is the term used to describe the mucous you have during ovulation. It looks like eggwhites and is slippery, clear, and stretchy.
Watery: Watery cervical mucous is wet and may be stretchy. You may notice this type of cervical mucous during ovulation or before having eggwhite cervical mucous. "

A sign of ovulation is the clear mucous discharge...

It may vary from woman to woman. Mine is clear but once I became pregnant I started getting a little bit cloudier of a discharge. Don't fret! If its not green and it doesn't smell, you're probably on the right track ;)!

It is the stretchy clear one. I was told during my 15 years of infertility treatment it is the mucus which will stretch between your thumb and the next finger.
Hope this helps.
