Question: Everyone says that around your ovulation time, you will have sticky, super stretchy egg white-ish discharge....I never have had that...I have some discharge that is just sticky, but it's very little and definitely not at all stretchy...Does this mean I cannot get pregnant?

NO, it does not mean that you cannot get pregnant!
it is very true that women's vaginal fluids change depending on where they are in their cycle. However, it takes a lot of time to get used to those changes and notice their subtle differences. You probably DO have the normal changes, but you just don't have enough experience in observing your discharges yet to realize when you're fertile based on that alone. Also, this pattern of discharge changes takes a number of years to fully develop, so if you're young it may not be set in place yet.
However, that doesn't mean you can't get pregnant. It's harder for sperm to swim through thicker vaginal fluids, but that doesn't mean it's impossible for them to do it. And if you have no outward indication of when you are definitely fertile, you're much more likely to not KNOW when you're fertile, and thus to have an unplanned pregnancy.
The consistency of your mucus is an indicator of ovulation. You should assume you can get pregnant at anytime throughout your cycle. Human reproduction is full of surprises.
No that is not what it means. You can still get pregnant, and just because your discharge isn't thick and stringy doesn't meant that it is not normal. Every woman is different, and has a different "normal".
No, I am sure you can get pregnant. Everyone has different discharge and various amounts of it. Notice 14 days past the first day of your last period and for 3 days you will notice a difference. That is the only time that you can get pregnant. Ex: If period started on Feb 1st, then you will ovulate on the 15th, 16th and 17th. Don't worry.
Not at all. The characteristics of discharge [smell/thickness/stickiness/taste/colour... varies for every woman and sometimes what stage they are in their cycle. In your case it just sounds like your body does not produce a stretchy discharge. All you have to remember is that discharge is the way a woman's body clears the vagina and keeps in lubricated. It has nothing to do with pregnancies. The only thing that you should ever worry about is if it changes noticably then you should consult a doctor because this could mean you have an infection of some kind. But, not currently in your case.
