One More Question About Pregnancy Discharge?

As long as it dosen’t have afoul smell or it’s not cottage cheese like there is nothing wrong with you but as far as early sign of pregnancy IDK but you do get a lot of discharge when pregnant!

There are many different types of vaginal discharge, one of which is cervical mucus. The type of mucus your body produces provides clues to your fertility. You can check your cervical mucus using either your fingers or toilet paper. On days when you’re not fertile, the mucus from your cervix is either light or sticky (about the same texture as sticky rice). During the few days leading up to ovulation, when you’re most fertile, you’ll have more discharge – clear and slippery with the consistency of raw egg white. It should also be stretchy. You are most fertile on the last day you notice cervical mucus of this kind. It usually happens either the day before, or the day of, ovulation.

The change in volume and texture of your cervical mucus is due to the increase in estrogen levels that accompanies ovulation. After ovulation, progesterone abruptly suppresses the peak mucus and the mucus pattern continues with sticky mucus for a day or two, and then returns to dryness. Clomid changes cervical mucus patterns on an individual basis, so you might have to get used to a new pattern in terms of buildup of mucus and interpretations of peak mucus.

How to Check Your Cervical Mucus
There are 3 ways you can do this: using toilet paper or your fingers across the opening of your vagina, wearing a panty liner (which is sometimes hard to detect) or inserting your finger into your vagina. Chart its consistency. You may also want to monitor its texture throughout the day.

Certainly, hormone levels may fluctuate from cycle to cycle causing different observations to be made each month. However, there are few things about the cervix that I think can help understand this better. First, where is the mucus produced? It actually comes not just from the cervical crypts, but high inside the cervix. I think this is significant. Why? Well, think for a moment about sinusitis. What happens there? The sinuses cavities get infected because of a “lack of drainage.” The cervix may work similarly. It is very possible that there could be a problem with the FLOW or drainage of mucus from the cervix. That is another possibility.

So what is the remedy? First, have you at least consulted with a doctor who is knowledgeable of the medical applications of Natural Family Planning? It can be very difficult, if not impossible, to get anywhere with a doctor who does not have this type of specialty training in trying to diagnose and remedy a problem like this. For example, perhaps the problem is simple and would respond to a prescription for something to enhance the flow of cervical mucus. On the other hand, it may be much more complex and require a hormone profile and/or other tests and procedures to correctly diagnose the real problem and then prescribe the appropriate treatment
