CM experts please!

My body is still trying to figure itself out post delivery of my son (15 week loss). It's been exactly 3 weeks, but I still have the FAINTEST positive on wondfo.
Now yesterday + today I've had quite a bit of watery cm with a touch of white to it. Not sticky or stretchy. I know I may or may not O and opk wouldn't be too reliable given positive hpt still. But I am trying to understand what exactly watery cm normally means in a regular cycle so I can maybe guess at what my body is trying to do.
Anything helps, Thanks in advance

I'm sorry for your loss. If I understand right, watery cm comes before the egg white fertile time. I usually start feeling that wet down there when I'm getting close to ovulation time. Not sure about the wondfo hpts still being positive though.

Thank you! Hopefully that means my body is trying to O then fx

Watery can occur before ovulation or right before AF.

Thank you i dont think it will be af since I just stopped bleeding but hopefully it's my body at least trying to O. Unless you can get af sooner? I read 20 days no bleeding, not sure if that's right.

My cycle after the MC, I had CM that didn't line up with ovulation and I got a few patches of more fertile CM throughout my cycle.

If you're up to it, BD because watery CM is usually considered a sign of ovulation. But don't take it as gold that you're ovulating.

Good luck

I'm sorry for your loss, StillPraying.

The watery CM may be your body trying to get back to normal now that you're hormones are changing again. I had a M/C a little over a month ago at 8wks+3 and AF came right on time 26 days later but 2 weeks after the M/C itself, it looked like my body was trying to O. I just finished AF and I'm starting to get the clear EWCM, which again, is normal for me.

I would say if you're still getting a positive on an HPT, your body wouldn't O yet since the pregnancy hormone isn't completely gone. Basically, your ovaries haven't been notified yet that you're no longer pregnant because that hormone is still there. The only reliable test is a blood test to see if the HCG is at 0.

My OB told me I could still O with HCG in my system, just like with HCG trigger shot for some ladies. I'm just not so sure an OPK would be reliable given there is still hcg in my system.
Hopefully you ladies are right and it's my body at least trying to go back to normal.
