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.

Which ovary produces a girl?

There are few persons who believe that, the ovary of the right side yields ova which on fertilization develop as males, and the ovary of the left side yields ova which are potentially female but it is not scientifically proven. Development of female or male child depends on chromosome (X or Y) from father's sperm.

I'm really curious and a bit worried about blood type compatibility when it comes to starting a family. I have a B blood type, and my girlfriend has an AB blood type. I'm wondering if this could lead to any complications with her pregnancy or maybe even affect our child's health. Could our different blood types be a problem?

Yes, it will not cause any complications.
