Miscarriage or just a false positive
by melisa__0, Mar 15, 1999 12:00AM
I had this simple question but have looked on other boards and can't seem to find an answer.
Does cervical mucous tend to disappear right before your period. Not totally but there isn't much there. Or when your pregnant do you seem to have alot more of it.
The thing is Ithink I'm pregnant, a test came out positive but I haven't had alot of cervical mucous the last few days and I have started to cramp lightly and have a back ache. I am also very nauseated.
I;m wondering if the test made a mistake. Could someone please try and answer this questionf or me.

Dear Melissa:
Cervical mucus is small in amount, scant, thick at all times of the menstrual cycle EXCEPT the days before ovulation when it is thin, watery, stretchable. Pregnancy mucus is thick, scant, and small in amount.
