It started thick almost gluggy/tacky for 2-3 days and now looks/feels just like lotion last 2 days. I've only gotten cm from internal so nothing discharging into knickers. Hope this isn't too personal a question :)

That isn't uncommon. You can even get EW just before AF sometimes. CM is caused by estrogen, or the lack thereof. While the LP is dominated by progesterone, it is not uncommon to have a fluctuating level of estrogen... esp just before AF due to a drop in progesterone. BUT CM can NOT tell you are preg or not definitively, niether can CP. The only CM things I have noticed that is a sign of preg, for me at least, has less to do with what you see from inside and more to do with what I see in my undies. A CM sign for me is my undies will suddenly start being very wet, no matter how often I change them. It doesn't look like cm... except maybe watery but is so much worse than watery cm... tmi but tbh if I didn't know better I'd think I was peeing my pants over and over again all day when I am preg... god bless pantyliners lol. Does any of that answer your question? I kinda started to babble there for a bit lol.

Thanks two and yes! it's all new to me so that makes sense. At least I'll have something to compare to next cycle if need be :)

Yup! Unlike temps which can tell you a lot your very first cycle, cm/cp take a few cycles to really learn. First you have to learn to distinguish one type from another (which can be tricky sometimes even if you have been doing it awhile so don't be hard on yourself if this is posing a challenge) then you have to recognize your norms before it gives you the complete pic. For example, my infertile CM pattern (unmedicated) is creamy with few days of sticky and EW is my fertile pattern. Susie Q's infertile pattern may be sticky and she may never get EW. Her fertile CM may be creamy. Everyone is different, so learning YOUR patterns and norms goes a long way :)

Couldn't have said it better myself! I've used charting for both TTA and TTC so forgive my momentary lapse of recollection that you have no intention of charting any longer than you have to lol. So, yes, hopefully this will be your last chart [emoji120]

5 DPO is the absolute earliest day for implantation so a dip can be good too ;) Wouldn't go shopping for nursery furniture just yet, but ya know... gotta scrutinize everything ;) :giggle:

Pbn3 I have everything crossed for you - my diet went a little south too at the end, I still think I wasn't eating like normal - or my old normal that is...

Taytum I agree with XX. Fx for IB spotting

I know I'm already scrutinizing everything lol. I gave in to my urge to have milk and actually drank half a glass of full cream milk!!! Last night I had a dream that a friend I know that does 'readings' told me something along the lines of twinkles or sparkles lol and that I'm about to get the news I've been waiting for (she knows I'm ttc). I've been tempted to text her and tell her about the dream hahaha
