Q: Discharge two years into menopause
asked by: abalone on May 19th, 2009

I'm 53 and in menopause (haven't had a period for 2 1/2 years). Whew! Or so I thought. Now I've had two months solid of egg white discharge and what feels like the ovulation cramping I used to get, on one side. What's up? Is my body trying to spit out a few excess hormones? I'd like it to stop. (I've been told by my doc that I shouldn't take any hormone therapy due to familial cancer and my own melanoma.)

Ovulation-like discharge
I'm 52, my period stopped about ten months ago and I'm experiencing similar discharge, although mine only lasts a few days at a time (as it did when I was still ovulating). I've been told that it is actually possible to ovulate without having a period, and I did perform an ovulation test with my fertility monitor a few month ago, and it showed the normal progression of hormones until it indicated ovulation. I was told that a false-positive can be caused by post-menopause hormone changes, but in that case,the fertility monitor should have shown a consistent surge, not a gradual increase. I'm not sure if this is applicable to your situation - especially since your discharge has been continuous. I hope someone out there can provide us with information...
(P.S.: I've also had the ph-induced 'infections/irritation, but the discharge is typically not egg white-like in appearance/texture.

I'm 52 and four years into menopause. This happened to me in October of last year - no period and only lasted just over a week. I went to GP who tried to persuade me it was probably just a mild infection but I know it was ovulation! or at least exactly the same process I always got at ovulation. I didn't get a period. Now it's happening again - the same as ever - clear to egg white discharge, thick then stretchy then thinner, no bad odour (which might indicate an infection) - now I have the same pain and tenderness that I always got with ovulation.
My GP is adamant that ovulation post menopause can't happen as is every site I've found on internet, yet I really think I know my body after so many years.
If you find an answer do pass it on! Anyone else out there experienced similar?

Me, too!
Can't believe what I am reading, because I am going through the same thing. I am 52 years old, still having menstrual periods , but they getting shorter with lighter bleeding, and turning quickly into an "egg white" discharge which I used to have only at ovulation. It would be great if an OB-GYN or endocrinologist could see these posts and enlighten us as to what is happening. I have a history of polycystic ovarian syndrome and hashimotos thyroiditis (and menstrual migraines) and wondered if anyone else with "egg white discharge" had these endocrinological abberations as well.
