I was wondering if anyone else has noticed "tissue" in the toilet after peeing...as in, human tissue. For the last 4 months, I've been noticing that the days I think may be implantation days I get some light spotting (a little blood when I wipe) and small sheets of tissue in the toilet. I think TTC leads to hypervigilance and checking out things we'd normally miss, but I don't recall ever having the tissue strands in the toilet before. It only lasts for a day (like the spotting does).
When I was about 5 and a half weeks along with my son, I just happened to check the toilet before I flushed and I saw fibery tissue floating around. It sank to the bottom, though... but I was so terrified it was the beginning of a miscarriage, because I had started spotting then, too.
The next day we went in to see the doctor, got in on an emergancy basis... got an ultrasound and the baby was fine. Twitching around with a heartbeat of 180.
Anyway, since then I've always checked the toilet just in case... it was scary to see... even after we lost the baby, I always check, I guess it's habit now... and I've never seen anything like that since. So I think it is definitely pregnancy related, but I don't think it means anything bad.

It's probably just discharge, at that time of the month the hormones cause changes in discharge and sometimes it can be quite thick. It's not likely to be tissue (where would it come from?) but more likely discharge. I know around that time of my cycle my discharge can get thick and even lumpy.
