‘Period’ symptoms but no bleeding? 5 months post baby

[Mumofboys17]

Slight TMI warning
Really hoping someone else has experienced this.

I had my 2nd baby almost 5 months ago (vaginal birth). Bleeding etc had all stopped and I feel all ok healing-wise. Almost 2 days ago I noticed my discharge/cervical mucus started getting heavier. No smell, no blood. Started wearing a daily liner and didn’t think much of it. It’s now so heavy that I wore a maternity pad to bed last night and it’s soaked this morning.
The only way I can describe it is like the flow of a heavy period, but there’s no blood. Just clear/creamy cvm. It doesn’t smell, burn or itch, there’s just so much of it!! I do have some period-like cramping and feel a bit yuck. I’m still ebf so wasn’t expecting my periods to come back yet but not sure that’s even what this is! I also did a pregnancy test last night just in case (as that’s all Dr Google suggests!) and that was definitely negative.
Thanks in advance.

I could have literally written this myself! 5 month old baby, still ebf, loads of cvm, cramps… I’ve come on mumsnet to see if anyone else had posted something similar to me… can I ask if you’re period did come back after having these simptoms at 5months pp? I didn’t get my period until 10 months post partum with my first ebf dc! X
