I have a CM question

[danniellabella]

Does CM change colour when pregnant? If so, how does it change?

[StrawberryMumma]

Hi Danni

I think mine was a bit more 'creamy'

All the best

[Keira]

I think it changes from being clear to white, like Lee said, creamy!

[Shanti]

that's what I have at the moment.... hhhmmmm still waiting for AF.... 5days late

Hi DaniB, not sure as i havent been pg yet but i asked my sister and she said it was creamy and she had heaps of it. She said she felt "wet" all the time and she had cramps so she thought it was af iykwim?

[SallyJ]

Danni I had creamy CM too.

I hope this is your month!

[danniellabella]

What about creamy/a bit thick and stringy and slightly yellow?

[SallyJ]

Danni I haven't had this but have heard of others having it - if you have this at 12 dpo and no watery CM, then I think there's a good chance you are UTD!!

[Heaven]

Good luck!!

[Shanti]

What if it's watery & slimey type CM? Like the type you get when you are "O"ing?? that's what I have and I am still waiting for AF (5 days overdue now).... ?? Also feeling very tired, sluggish... (had a good sleep too?!)
I feel like AF has arrived cos' i feel 'wet' (TMI SORRY), and so i visit the loo and find nothing when I wipe...
Daniella - have you done a test today? I am testing again 2moro morning....
best of luck to you!!!!

[StrawberryMumma]

hehehe! Great descriptions girls!

Good luck RENEE and DANNI!

Same for me watery and slimy. Not stretchy tho.
omg this is a gross discussion.
For me I'm hoping it means getting closer to O. But for you i don't know coz you've already past that.
Well, I'm no help.

[Shanti]

Well who knows... maybe I didn't ovulate 2 weeks ago after all? Strange.... I thought I did for sure
it's also quite creamy too like danielle described hers to be like... (when I investigate further IUKWIM?) SORRY TMI.....

[Heaven]

Yeah me too.
Like not creamy. But sort of white but watery.
lol, omg I'm eating lunch, eww..
hahaha what a great topic.

[SallyJ]

If it's watery and you're at O time, it's fertile CM. If it's watery and AF is due, then it's probably the corpus luteum leaving your body if you are not pg - that happens a day or two before AF.

If it's white and watery, is it like lotion? Because that's classified as creamy.

[Shanti]

yes it is like lotion.
i am 5 days past AF..... just went to the loo and when I wiped, had a tiny very tiny bit of "light brownish" spotting... what could that mean? normally when i start AF she's bright red and when i wipe usually a fair bit of it KWIM?

[CatherineL]

As i said before Renee - it sounds like your body is getting used to coming off BCP... Bleeding can change and it can be lighter, heavier, last longer or just spotting until your body gets back into a proper cycle.

Fertile CM is like raw egg white... and when not O'ing it's creamy in colour - when pg you get the same sort of CM you get when your not in your fertile period... It doesn't change to some special secret sort of CM when ya pg - it's just the same old same old. Unless obviously it's show or something which you shouldn't expect till the end of pg anyway...

Daniella - Yellow usually indicates some sort of infection, like a bladder infection or thrush... Especially if you haven't been drinking much or enough water.

[Shanti]

ok... i bet you are right... its just strange cos' the last 2 cycles after BCP were spot on and no funny business it was just straight into the AF KWIM?
i guess it's normal to wonder when it's something you aren't used to.
