This is why we need better sex education in schools, that is meant as no offence to you but a negative comment on the school system that cannot even teach young women like yourself the basics of your body or how babies are made!
What you are seeing is fertile quality cervical mucus; this is the mucus your cervix produces when you are fertile, or in other words the days leading up to ovulation (ovulation normally occurs from days 12-16 of your menstrual cycle)!. Your vagina is normally acidic which would mean sperm would be killed off; when you are fertile your body produces this fertile quality cervical mucus to protect the sperm against the acidic environment of your vagina!. This fertile quality cervical mucus also acts as a way for the sperm to climb up through your cervix and to the fallopian tubes to reach the egg to fertilise it!. You only release one egg every cycle, that egg only lasts for up to 48 hours, however that cervical mucus is made a few days before the egg is released and keeps sperm alive for a few more days that it would be able to survive normally within your vagina, meaning that the sperm can stay around long enough within your vagina to reach the egg once it is released!.
This is why you are only fertile for a few days of your cycle, any other time it would be impossible to get pregnant
