CM...questions..?

I always thought that CM was a sign to start BD'ing b/c Ovulation is just a few days away. Now I am hearing that some girls have CM after ovulation and are using that as a symptom of pregnancy...so confused. Is it a signal before Ovulation or an early sign of pregnancy..or both?

Re: CM...questions..?

You are right. But, it's the different quality and characteristics of the CM that is important. Leading up to ov, you are supposed to have slippery, stretchy, what they call "egg white" quality CM. Other CM can be creamy, sticky, etc.

Re: CM...questions..?

What is cervical fluid like during early pregnancy? Can I tell if I am pregnant by observing my cervical fluid?

Observing your cervical fluid after ovulation will not provide any clues about whether or not you could be pregnant. Whether or not you are pregnant, cervical fluid tends to exhibit non-fertile characteristics in the two weeks after ovulation.

I would just BD so you don't miss your fertile stage..

Good luck!
