I do see what you are talking about in the original photo, but I think the altered photo is a tad too bright on my screen for it show properly. I do see it though. As far as symptoms, who knows. lol. I've heard of ladies getting symptoms from the moment of implant, and then other's not having any at all until 8 wks in. So, it's really just a toss up, but I would keep them record just in case either way. CP/CM is so hard to decipher as far as pregnancy goes, but it's still good to keep a record of it. When you are pregnant, "normally" it goes way up high, is like buttery soft, and closed (unless you've already had kids and then it can be slightly opened bc after having a baby most women's cervix's don't fully shut the way they did the first go round again) BUT with that said, that could happen immediately or well into first tri, so you really never know. I've seen women say they had no CM, had lots of creamy/lotiony, and or lots of EWCM (normally clear/yellow tinged) in the TWW up until their BFP. Me- I really didn't have any CM at all my entire pregnancy, which really isn't that common, but my entire pregnancy was not "text book". Right from the very beginning everything that had to with my pregnancy symptoms were either way too early, never experienced them at all, or had symptoms that not many women experience ever, lol. I did not have a "normal" pregnancy. But really when we look at the grand scheme of things what is "normal" anyways. We are all different and each one of our individual pregnancies will more than likely be completely different as well. I remember the second time my BF got pregnant, I just knew she was way before she ever tested, and I kept telling her she was and that she needed to test, and she kept telling me that there was no way she was pregnant bc "this" wasn't happening, or "that" wasn't happening, blah, blah, blah. Lo and behold, when I finally bought a test and convinced her to take it- She was indeed pregnant! I spared her the "I told you so" but I did find it quite amusing that my instincts had been dead on the entire time
