Sudden appearance of white, creamy discharge while ebf my 4 mo??

[MNgirl1991]

Hey guys! It has been a very long time since I have posted on here. I was about 35 weeks pregnant when I last visited you guys and my baby girl came at 37 weeks and have been too busy to bother being on the computer since then lol

So I have a question that I have not been able to find a satisfactory answer to on Google. Abut 3 days ago I noticed a sudden increase in discharge. I've been ebf my daughter since she's been born (she's 4 months) and all of a sudden this happens after having cramps that made me SWEAR af was on her way. No af and the cramps have basically disappeared but this discharge will NOT GO AWAY. I seriously feel like I'm peeing myself sometimes, especially after sitting for a while and standing up (sorry if tmi)

My hubby and I are using the pull out method of birth control and he's very careful, but besides that we are not on any sort of birth control. I know fertility is supressed when you're bfing so chances that we're pregnant is very low. But anyone else have this happen to them and NOT be pregnant? Is this just something that happens sometimes? Or is my period finally on it's way?
TIA!!!

Do you think you may be ovulating? And the discharge is the stuff you get during the fertile window? Other than that I'm not sure... Hope someone else has some clues for you x

That's what I was thinking. I was hoping I wouldnt be getting my period so soon since I'm ebf, but I can't think of what else it could be. Sad face

I got my period when my dd turned 9 months and I was still exclusively breastfeeding as she was not interested in solids what so ever.
She is 16 months now and is still mainly breastfed and still feeds every 2 hours through the night like a newborn - yet I still get my period like clock work every 4 weeks so who knows? You could be ovulating this soon.

Also I would just like to add that the pull out method worked for 9 years with my best friend and her husband then when they decided to try they actually got pregnant the first time they dtd without pulling out so for them it was a good method of birth control. That said, when you have just had a a baby you are extremely fertile so beware if you are ovulating. I took me and hubby 3 years to get pregnant with our ds but took first time accident with our dd as unjust pregnant right after having him. 12 month age gap is a lot of fun but man it's hard work!

White creamy discharge is considered non-fertile CM.
