Sorry if TMI but what times of the month can you get increased CM?

[LadyOfWaffle]

My period has gone AWOL, I was due I guess about 2 weeks ago now (but it starting to be a 35 day cycle rather than a 28/29) and now I have a huge increase in CM, it's very egg yolky (sorry!) and I thought that happened when you ovulated. Could I be ovulating very late, or normal time but had no period last month? I have had a sore tummy for about a week now aswell, like I am just about to come on but I never have, or ovulation pains?

Umm could you be pregnant by chance?

Nope, 2 negatives plus last time I was heaving 24/7 by now. DO you get an increase of CM when pregnant?

Egg yolky ??? Isn't is sposed to be egg whitey ?!

Sorry, being facetious. CM usually reaches a peak at your most fertile time, usually between 14 to 18 days into your cycle (but not exactly same for everyone obviously)

yeah, whites lol. Definatly not yolk! [dim]

And, yes it's poss that you missed an ovulation. You don't ovulate necessarily every month, hence the long time between periods etc.

LoW - no chance you could be menopausal is there?

Another thing that can causes a lot of apparent CM is piles! Yep, I know yeeuuch but they can cause the mucous membranes to be irritated and pump out the stuff to soothe the area (nice!)

OMG who moved, I am 21! No piles either, I think it's most likely I skipped an ovulation and the pain is ovulation pain.

CM?

cervical mucus.

sorry

it's ok, me just being lazy.

lady of waffle who arte you?

I was Quootiepie

pourquoi?

Well if your cycle is suddenly getting irregular and longer it could be indicative of PCOS. Perhaps you should see your GP and ask?

oh I will ask him next time I am there.
