How to deal with CM?

I came on here to ask about heavy discharge during ovulation when I saw the pinned topic about Cervical Mucus. Every month around the time of ovulation, I experience a HEAVY amount of discharge that is clear and the consistency of snot. It’s sooo stretchy and gooey 🤢 After reading about Cervical Mucus, I think it’s safe to assume that’s what it is. But when I say heavy I mean like seriously, there is A LOT of it. Like... an unholy amount. It’s so wet and slimy and it is SO UNCOMFY!!!!! It literally keeps me up at night because of how slimy and gross it feels. And whatever undies I wear to bed end up being taken off as soon as I get up because it all rushes out of me when I stand up. It sucks.

At this point I hate ovulation more than I hate my actual period. 🥴😭

So what I’m wondering is this:

does anybody else experience this and if so HOW do you deal with it? I wear pads and then shove toilet paper in there too because it’s that bad but I hate having to go through all that.

And is this even normal?? I mean I know cervical mucus and discharge is normal, but like is there a point when its too much or am I just extremely fertile?? Lol someone help me pls.
