Vaginal discharge or leukorrhea occurs through the menstrual cycle and is usually white before & after the period. Discharge may start out as thin liquid before the time of ovulation. During ovulation, the discharge thickens and becomes mucus like. After ovulation, i.e., in second half of the cycle, discharge increases usually.

I'm concerned about me and my husband's blood group. We both have AB blood group, and I'm wondering if this could cause any issues when we decide to plan for a baby. Does having the same blood group affect family planning, or is it not really a big deal? Looking forward to some insight!
