Pregnant with Creamy White CM

[bioclock1]

For those who have been pregnant or not... Have any of you noticed lotion-like CM a few days past ovulation? If so, did this end up being a predictor for your pregnancy? I never get the lotion-like CM and have it so I'm wondering...what gives?

Yea, I had that CM too, and one or two days it was VERY nonexistant, but came right back and lasted. then the about 4-6w into my pregnancy, it dissapeared.. and it came back again a month or two later.

Gosh, i'm almost 4 1/2mo along and am starting to feel like an experienced person already.

Well, you ARE experienced b/c you're preggo and have this type of info!! I'm happy for you that you're pregnancy is going well. I don't always respond to the messages unless I have something valuable to say. But, I keep up with ppl and am glad you're past the 12 week zone!!
I don't really have a lot of the creamy cm, and I think maybe I should if I'm actually preggo and 5 dpo. Right? I know every one is different but when I had a chemical pregnancy I remember being "wet" all the time and this time I'm not. Just the white stuff. When should symptoms begin to kick in if I DID conceive?

This is a paragraph from the 5th adition of Your Pregnancy Week by Week

`````increased vaginal discharge
During pregnancy, it is normal to have increase in vaginal discharge or vaginal secretions, called LEUKORRHEA. This discharge is usually white or yellow and fairly thick. It is not an infection. We beleive it is caused by the increased blood flow to the skin and muscles around the vagina. This apperanace, visible to your doctor early in pregnancy, is called Chadwicks sign.

I had this with in a week of finding out I was pregnant and it has resently tappered off (thank God) It was very heavy! More so than the CM you get around ovulation:) I hope this helps and good luck!

Thanks! I've been googling this stuff like crazy and after reading it all I get somewhat hopeful. I just read on a website that progesterone produces this creamy cm and that if pregnancy has not occurred than most women go back to a dry stage as they were prior to ovulation. I've just recently started documenting all signs and symptoms so maybe this has been there all along and I just didnt notice it. I do know i've had small amts before but this time there seems to be a lot more. I still have to do a digital inspection to see it (except for 3 days ago) but It IS THERE!!!
did you notice it by checking yourself or was it just coming out?? (sorry-don't know how else to phrase that! LOL!!)

it was just all over, ewwww !!!

Well, you could still be preggo. I didn't notice the creamy cm until about 8 DPO or so. But It was there, normally if AF is coming soon and your not pregnant, the CM will dry up almost completely. Try to check your cervix. mine was soft when I checked around Probably about 17dpo or so. I got my BFP at about 16dpo, so about 2d after missed af.
