What type of CM should you have before af?

[Cara x]

I'm 13dpo and 95% sure I'm not pregnant this cycle after a string of negative tests. Just checked my CM (mostly to see if there was any sign of af coming because I've just started cramping) and I noticed it's watery. This is my first cycle tracking CM and I thought watery was a fertile type? Or is it normal to have it before af too? I had a positive opk on CD15.

Typically, and I stress typically, your CM should be creamy or sticky (like that weird, giant glob stuff. Not to be confused with EWCM) after ovulation until AF hits. Looking back at my charts, it has always been that or none at all. There have been a few small patches of watery but usually thats right after Ovulation for me.

But again, everyone is different. But the general consensus is creamy or sticky.

I sometimes get watery cm before AF. Other times it's creamy
