Seriously TMI...warning CM pic attached... What is this??

[xQuinnx]

Sorry in advance for the graphic pics but I'm feeling a bit lost and worried...

I'm 6dpo now I think and for the last 2-3 days I've had this CM. Anyone else had this? I don't remember having this before...it doesn't smell, there's no itching...its just there and gross!! Ive had quite a bit of mild cramping and backache. It kind of reminds me of my mucous plug in pregnancy. Anyone any advice? :-/

I had this when I found out I was pregnant In the early stages

Really?! How early did you notice it?? I've been googling infections lol!

Looks like EWCM?

Thats EWCM...!

Definitly not an infection. Looks like fertile cm to me. Could you be ovulating late?

I had this as well and it ended a couple days ago. I am now 7-8dpo. I was so confused by it as well....it almost reminded me of snot. Gross, I know!! Keep me updated!

Hello all thanks for the replies! Got more this afternoon its gross! Really hoping it's ewcm or something 'normal'. I'm having backache and cramps too and have done on and off before getting this gross discharge...I went to the pharmacy about it and they gave me this test for vaginal infections...depending on what colour it turns depends on what the infection is. According to that test I've got bacterial vaginosis :-/ the test only slightly turned colour but apparently even that's positive...so I'm a bit confused because I don't have any symptoms of infection like smell, itching etc :-/ hope it's not the case and I'm just ovulating late (which has happened a few times)

So thought out of curiosity I would do an OPK...I did one yesterday with a HPT that was clearly negative, did this test just now (the one on its own) and it was a glaring positive within 2 mins :-/ so obviously didn't ovulate 6 days ago despite positive opks and even a temp increase

Deffo EWCM then!! Get bedding!!

You really don't have an infection. That CM looks totally healthy and normal. You might have a slightly off pH balance but that's quite normal and a lot of women do.

Thanks so much, I'm feeling a little disheartened but going to try not to need to get BD'ing!

 

[glong88]

It just means you've got an extra shot at getting the egg! You no your fertile now so make the most of it

 

[xQuinnx]

No idea how I add my chart...fertility friend is still saying I've ovulated?

 

[hanni]

Fertility chart can be wrong but there's no denying that OPK and CM. Get baby dancing just incase!
