Hi there guys, hope you’re all well?

After I ovulation I have been getting a bit of cm, which is really unusual for me. I’m usually dry, until a day or two before my periods. I have been getting cm every single day, not loads, just a small amount every time I go toilet It’s yellow/creamy n is sticky! I ovulated on CD14, currently on CD25, I have 3 days till my periods! I really hope I’m pregnant!!!😭 I’ve been trying for a year.

Hope u can help, thank you!!!

Good luck!
I think it's bollocks to be offended by photos like this. Well done you for putting them up. We should be more open!

gamerchick · 20/05/2016 19:06

I dunno I'm predicting AF on it's way. Good luck I hope you get the result you want.

I've read that you can loose some mucus plug while its forming. I've done tests, but I'm waiting for my next expected period to do another, as the others have shown up negative and as I've said above, the same happened with my mother until she was 10 weeks pregnant. On her last child she didn't know she was pregnant until the baby started kicking, by that point she had been to the doctors countless times and they all brushed her off.

In labour = technically in advance of labour

Pollyputhtekettleon · 20/05/2016 16:36

You only lose your mucus plug in labour so regardless it's not that. You say your period is late so it's not fertile cm, that would have happened about 2 weeks ago. Maybe do a test.

WhingyNinja · 20/05/2016 16:35

I'd do a test, OP.

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 20/05/2016 16:31

Why haven't you done a pregnancy test if you've already missed a period?

Just to update everyone, yesterday was the only time I had that discharge, it happened twice, today now my cm is like face cream?

For God's sake it's a picture on a board where we constantly discuss CM, periods, shagging, get over it.

I get that before AF although I wouldn't take it as an indicator that you are not pg... pregnancy cm can be all kinds of crazy but most people say they have creamy/lotiony cm in early pg rather than jelly like.

Good luck

Thankyou for being so supportive everyone. I was very worried about how those pictures might kick up a storm. To me this is just a natural bodily function which most women go through at some point or another, and this is extremely mild compared to actual childbirth mess!! from all my googling it seems more like mucus plug, but would it even be possible to loose some of that at 5 weeks? Maybe the cm is from it forming... Or the dreaded af as said. I'm waiting until my next period is due to test, as I done some and it was way to early to do so lol, my mother also didn't show up on tests until 10 weeks plus x

Looks exactly like my mucus plug did.

AristotlesTrousers · 20/05/2016 05:34

Hi OP, I remember having cm like that when we were ttc DS2 and desperately googling pics . I'm afraid it turned out to be the start of AF in the end.

I'd even had implantation bleeding with DS1, so I should have known it didn't look like that (more like dark red dried blood on wiping and only a tiny amount). However, I guess it's different for everybody, so fingers crossed you're pg anyway.

Fwiw, I would have found more pictures like this on mumsnet v useful at the time, and you did put a warning on it, so don't worry about that!

seatfor6 · 19/05/2016 22:51

So you have missed a period? Have you done a Pg test?

ohnonotanother1 · 19/05/2016 22:33

Haha my comment was more aimed at whoever thought a picture was too much. Like we could help without seeing it!

BigApple11 · 19/05/2016 22:11

Lol ohnoanother...I have 3 children!

janenoble · 19/05/2016 20:58

lol i'm so sorry big apple! I've already missed one period. I haven't actually worked out the days exactly, but when i do i will let you know.

OP posts:

ohnonotanother1 · 19/05/2016 20:57

I would say that anyone who is even mildly shocked by this thread, which did have a clear warning in the title, really isn't ready for the delights of pregnancy. Or young children.

BigApple11 · 19/05/2016 20:44

I wish I hadn't clicked on this thread

Junosmum · 19/05/2016 20:43

I have that at some point in my cycle. Can't remember when. I've not had a cycle in well over a year.

Jodie1982 · 19/05/2016 19:34

I usually get that a few days before af arrives hun.
