Confused. CM questions (TMI)

~LaurenNoel~ · #1 January 26th, 2010, 07:19 PM

I have been paying attention to my cm this month and trying to learn more about fertility charting. I was using OPKs, and got what looked like a positive on the 19th. My CM was also most like fertile cm, the egg whitish, stretchable kind. I dried up after what I believed to be my ovulation time for a few days. Today, I noticed I was more wet down there, and when I wiped, got a huge glob of white, creamy mucus. I do not have a yeast infection (had them while preggo and know the difference). What does this mean in terms of my cycle?

(I am no longer breastfeeding, no PP AF yet, and have not been on BC for over 3 months)

Thanks!

i totally vote for Wyatt btw.

i think you can have an estrogen rise after ovulation that can cause a day or two of cm. do you have a link to your chart? are you temping

i agree from what i know about cm so far..it is pretty common for girls to see creamy cm in the 2ww..it can also be a pregnancy sign i am hoping this is a good thing for you hun!..

Thanks so much! No, I am not temping yet. Wes still gets up at weird times at night, so I could never get a consistent reading. I have been reading a lot about cm, and fertility in general so I can learn more about how my body works.

I had a huge creamy glob of white cervical mucus that was lotion-like on the 15th. I had EWCM on the 19th. So mine was before ovulation. Although, my body geared up to ovulate but didn't for some reason on the 7th. I think it has something to do with an estrogen rise. I have heard it is a pregnancy symptom and also something that occurs before/after ovulation. Have you had it before? I don't remember ever having it before.

I don't remember having it before, and I know I have not had it since Wesley was born, over 6 months ago. I think I did o when the OPK said, because I had the mild cramping, was tired, and felt like dtd more than usual. I'm in the 2ww on our first cycle trying, so I guess I will know soon!
