TMI warning - discharge chat!
I had to stop breastfeeding my 9month baby about 3 weeks ago and now I'm starting to get period symptoms. I'm going on holiday for a wedding in three days and trying to calculate when my first post-breastfeeding period could start as I'm sure it's bound to be heavier than normal so I want to be prepared!
I'm getting all the usual cramps, bloating symptoms that would usually indicate my period coming in the next 2-3 days, BUT I'm also experiencing clear stretchy discharge like I'm ovulating (sorry if TMI!). Never experienced camps with ovulation before so now I don't know where I'm up to in my cycle! Am I ovulating now and likely to get period in a couple of weeks, or is it possible to get that kind of discharge towards end of cycle too and my period could be here in a day or two?
I appreciate everyone is different and pregnancy/breastfeeding will do all sorts of weird stuff to your normal cycle, but has anyone else experienced the typical ovulation clear/stretchy discharge at the end of their cycle before or am I likely to be mid-cycle despite the early PMS cramping bloating symptoms?
Ah the joy of periods!
