you are either ovulating or you may be having an ovarian cyst rupture..in either case, you just have to wait it out..not an emergency, just take some Advil:)

First of all, point to your ovaries.
Most women point to them and they'll put their hand halfway between the pubic bone and navel. That's wrong. The ovaries are, in fact, quite low in the abdomen and toward the back. If you pointed there. Good for you.
As for your question Understand There are fluid-filled cavities inside the tissue of the ovaries, usually changing size in response to hormone stimulation, they can indeed cause discomfort, and the pain may be erratic or continuous.
But before you question more, remember that the ovaries of menstruating women normally contain cysts. Only postmenopausal, inactive ovaries are completely cyst-free. Here's why: During the first half of your cycle, small cysts called follicles develop. In the second half of your cycle, a cyst is left behind after ovulation (the release of the egg, which can, itself, be accompanied by mild pain and cramping
As for the Vaginal discharge this my dear is normal and varies during your menstrual cycle. Before ovulation , there is A LOT of mucous produced, up to 30X more than after ovulation. It is also more watery and elastic during that phase of your cycle. You may want to wear panty liners during that time.
The things to be worried about include if the discharge has a yellow or green color, is clumpy like cottage cheese, or has a bad odor.
If are really concerned, see your doctor. Sometimes its best to see a doctor and be safe then sorry.

The clear discharge is not a concern.
Vaginal discharge should be clear.
And the pains may be any number of things.
It could be something as simple as ovulation.
Or more serious problems.
You don't tell your age.
But "Nubian" tells me you are young.
So, unless the pain continues or becomes much worse, I would think it is plain old ovulation pains and the discharge is also another symptom of ovulation.
If you are older, and the discharge is different from what you experience normally, then you may need to see an MD.

Mature woman here.
I have no idea what is happening. I would have pain in my ovaries when I ovulated each month but that only lasted a day or so.
Discharge could be an infection, especially since you are not sexually active.
I would see a doctor if I were you. I am thinking ovarian cysts, or yeast infection. Endometriosis comes to mind too.

Well, I don't know how comforting this will be to you but what you are going through is completely normal. The human body wants to reproduce, which is why you're feeling the way you do. It's natural. Just be logical with yourself. When you are feeling lustful, think of all the reasons why you are waiting for marriage. Also, keep in mind, that waiting for marriage is likely to make the experience very special for you. :) If there is an adult that you trust and feel comfortable with at your church, it would probably be a good idea to talk to them. It's likely that they will remember how it feels to be young and hormonal.

You're ovulating. Your body is releasing eggs to be fertilized. It's completely normal to have "pain" in the ovaries and the extra thick discharge is also characteristic of ovulation.

Contact a doctor right away. If you have abnormal discharge and sharp pains, you need to be evaluated. I work in a hospital and have seen a 29 year old DIE from ovarian cancer. This type of cancer can be hard to detect and look like other conditions. I'm not at all saying that is what you have, I'm just saying that what you have could be serious and needs to be checked by a doctor, not an answer board.
I wish you the best and will be thinking of you.

good possibility an ovarian cyst may have been ruptured....i had that happen not too long ago...take some 500mg ibuprofen and place a warming pack on your lower tummy...calms down the cramps ALOT...you should prolly go see your gyno though if you weren't aware of any cysts b/c it doesnt seem normal that you wouldnt know that...so it may be serious...but a huge possibility it's not
