I'm sure you realize that even though you've had a tubal, your body still goes through the ovulation process, preparing for fertilization and implantation. First, start plotting your cycles, and see exactly when it occurs. If its within a week or two of your period, and then changes again, that may be it. If it has an odor or causes burning, you need to see your health care provider for further evaluation. If it persists, visit your health care provider. The only way to evaluate it is to see it and do tests such as: wet mount, chlamydia and sometimes a misc aerobic.
