    CM during TWW question

    Just wondering who knows what CM is meant to be like towards the end of a cycle, both if you're UTD or AF is going to start?

    I don't usually get much CM after O so don't usually take much notice of it (usually just watch my CM to work out O and that's it), but at the moment, I'm having variations between a small amount of creamy, sticky CM, and more slippery (occasionally pinkish) CM, almost like EWCM but pinkish/white coloured.

    I have no idea whether this is normal for me leading up to AF, as I haven't monitored properly it before, and whilst I know that every woman is different, any experiences others have had with CM leading up to AF or in early pregnancy would be great!

    TIA

    I get creamy CM after O'ing and before AF (tho, its not consistent and varies each cycle), never been UTD.

    If you're on FF (VIP Member) you can search signs and compare you chart to others... you can set the search for pregnancy only (but that is where I generally do my head in, looking for early pregnancy signs).

    All the best to you

    Sometimes I get lots of stuff (and yeah, sometimes creamy, sometimes like EWCM), sometimes nothing.... never naturally utd, so not significant for me.
    that's not helpful, is it!?

    marcellus - yes, it is helpful! I asked for others experiences, and you gave me yours... = helpful Never been UTD naturally either, so not sure if I should leave off reading into CM and just do what I did before going through IVF and even during IVF (just monitor CM at O and leave the rest up to nature). Thanks!

    CBG - thanks for your experiences too, hun. FF is a strange and foreign land to me (hence even CM is confusing me lol) but I can always keep that in mind in the future - having enough trouble keeping things low key and keeping my expectations down atm. Thanks for your wishes too

    The tww can make a sane person insane!
    I think it's only in hind sight that you realize the early pregnancy signs we infact related to being utd.

    And for what it's worth the point system on ff is not fantastic either and can lead to false hopes (from my experience).
