Jelly like CM????

[Itchy_and_scratchy]

Hi Girls

Well ive been having a hellish few weeks after coming off my pill and had a bleed around 5 weeks ago which lasted 9 whole days!!!

Since then iv been having symptoms of pregnancy and but negative BFNs.

The only things that are really getting to me is the sore breasts, CONSTANT AF like cramps and over the past 3/4 days a really thick jellyish CM.

Any clues as to what this could be????  

Thanks in Advance and congrats to all those who got their BFPs today..... must be something in the air :) :) :) :)

Why haven't you tested again?

i have heard that shooting pain, or any severe breast pain can be pg symptoms.  a friend of mine has been preg 3x and said that each time, her boobs were what told her to expect a bfp.  i hope this is your month!  keep me updated!!!!

I know thats what i read too.

I had EWCM (The jelly stuff as i am now aware) on 3rd / 4th and 5th Nov. Thougt this was OV

However, AF has still not come and i ahve been having smaller batches of the EWCM over the past few days.

Still having AF pains so expecting it everyday but nothing.

Havent tested in 3 weeks as scared im kidding myself as the pains are so real.

Does anyone know if a shooting pain in one or the other breasts could be a sign???

i'm not sure if you are stillwatching this post, but the other day i ran across something that said usually the jelly mucous precedes the most fertile cm.  hope this helps!  happy thanksgiving!

[krissyy]

for me it's been before the really fertile cervical mucous before ovulation.  i'm expecting a batch really soon so i will let you know exactly when in my cycle it happens.  i think the best thing to do is to start bding everyother day and/or take an opk.  however, if you are not trying, i guess you will just have to try to wait things out.  good luck!!!!!!

No i have not been trying to concieve at all, it just sort of happened that my body is a little out of sync and im starting to have little changes in my body which are making me suspect i could be.

I never considered having children before but now i guess im feeling a little excited by the prospect

You can analyze every little thing going on with your body, but nothing is going to give you a clear answer except a pregnancy test. Your CM could be a sign of ovulation which means it's time to try to get pregnant. Good luck.

Hi just copied this if you notice cm explains,what to look for coming up to ov.............Dry or Light Moisture - INFERTILE
After menstruation for a period of 3 - 5 days you may experience no fluid at all or a small amount of moisture.  Color of any existing fluid is clear or slightly white but will dry immediately on your fingertips.  Overall sensation is not wet at this time.

Sticky or Gummy - INFERTILE
Cervical Fluid then changes to feeling sticky for a period of 2 - 3 days.  When rubbed between your fingertips it may give a small amount of resistance, feels slightly gummy or may even crumble.  The color will range from clear to white and although you may feel a small amount of moisture the fluid is still dry and does not feel wet at this time.

Creamy, Milky, Lotion Like - FERTILE
Cervical fluid now becomes much more abundant and will feel wet from 2 - 4 days.  It can appear either thick and creamy or like hand lotion and will form peaks in your fingertips when pulled apart or can be thinner and look milky.  Color of the fluid is white or yellow and the overall vaginal sensation is wet.

Eggwhite Cervical Fluid - VERY FERTILE
Cervical fluid now reaches its most fertile stage for 1 - 5 days.  The fluid will look and have the consistency of eggwhites.  It is slippery to the touch and if pulled between the fingertips will stretch 1 - 10 inches!  The color can be clear or iridescent and the overall sensation is extremely wet.  

Dry, Moist or Sticky - INFERTILE
Cervical fluid will now change drastically due to the drop in estrogen and the surge of progesterone following ovulation.  It can be dry, watery, moist or sticky and will remain in that stage until the end of your monthly cycle - which is the day before your menstrual period begins.  Any fluid at all will dry up quickly upon your fingertips, can range from no color to white and your overall vaginal sensation will be dry at this time.

Anyone have any clues to the thick jelly cm? I really wanna know but Its rather embarrassing and i dont wanna have to ask friends / family :)

[Itchy_and_scratchy]

So you think this could be ovulation? Ive been so confused a s have been having constant AF cramps and pregnancy symptoms but no period.

Has anyone been known to get this in the early stages of pregnancy?

[krissyy]

before i ovulate, i first get the jelly stuff (thank god i am not the only one!!!!) and then the really slippery stuff comes in right after, then is ovulation--usually 2 or 3 days later.  i usually only get one or two big batches of the jelly.  i was so happy to see this post.  i never heard anyone talk about the jelly and thought that i was a freak of nature!  i hope this helps!

[Itchy_and_scratchy]

Would the CM before ovulation be very thick, slippery and jelly like? Ive actually had clumps of the stuff (sorry gross i know) and im really not sure what it could be????

Has anyone else ever experienced this?

[misslollipop]

maybe it could be that you are coming up to ovulation??? all i know is that when i came off the pill i had regular periods and then after 2 months nothing until i went to the doctor. sorry i couldn't be any help.
