What was your cervical mucus like before you found out you were pregnant? I am 6DPO
I have really creamy lotion colored CM and wondering....I cant test until the 17th... o.O AF shouldnt be due until after the 20th.......
This is alot of info but it is from my TTC journal with this pregnancy I ovulate on Oct 16 and I tested on Oct 27th 11DPO (bottom test) and after 5 min it was neg but 6 hrs later it was positive. I retested at Oct 28 12DPO (top test) BFP within secs and I had a blood test at 13DPO. All that info is in my First Trimester Journal if you wanna read about my symptoms then...Anyway here is a pic of my test and below is my temp, cervical positioning, and CM LO TMI Hope it helps!

October 16 2009
I was having cramping like I was going to start my period but it never started. Then I started to get sharp pains on the left side of my abdomen. If I moved quickly I would get a shooting pain across my stomach. My breast were tingling, I had loose stools (sorry TMI), and I had slipper CM but there wasn't alot of it. Actually I took some PMS meds and it helped ease the cramps. Hubby and I bedded in the PM and I was extremely wet and sensitive down there. It made sex amazing!!
October 17 2009
So
when I woke up I started getting curious about if I did infact ovulate.
I went online and did some research and found a description of cervical
positioning and CM. So I checked my cervix (TMI) and found that my
cervix was high,soft, and open. I also found eggwhite CM (TMI) but am
still not sure if that was from me or from my Hubby since we did have
sex the night before. I was still trying to determine if I ovulated so
I talked myself into spending money on an ovulation test. Well I didn't
know that it detected the LH surge 24-48 hrs BEFORE ovulation but I
took the test anyway. There was a light line which according to the
ovulation test said that either ovulation hadn't yet occurred or that
it had already gone by. So just in case Hubby and I bedded again in the
PM!! Well this time my CM was very dry and hubby and I actually had to
use a lubricant. I also didn't enjoy it as much...sex almost hurt!
October 18 2009
When I woke up I researched some more online and rechecked my cervix. This time my cervix was very high but closed and soft. So I guess I am now on my 2WW, So I am going to test Oct 30th. The interesting thing is that if I am preggo then I conceived on the same day that I conceived my first and my due date would be the same as it was with him. He was due July 9th but I had him July 3!! In the meantime I am going to start tracking my info on fertilityfriend.com!! I am so excited and can't wait to see what happens when I test at the end of the month. Oh I hope I start getting some pregnancy symptoms soon!!
Well this evening I am extremely tired, bloated, gassy, and my back is killing me! I am also having shooting pains through my (uhmm) LOL like the kinds you get while preggo!!

My BBT was 97.4....not sure if that really can tell me much since I just started taking it this morning LOL. When I woke up I had this horrible taste in my mouth so I had to brush my teeth right away...its still didn't completly take it away but it helped! My cervix are really high and tightly closed. Medium to hard feeling! My CM was whitish in color and kinda slimy/sticky! I had to get up and pee 4 times last night...not sure what that was all about. I was also extremely wrestless. Today I have a fullness feeling...normally my stomach is growling by now LOL I just had some nausea too!
This
afternoon I noticed a blueish tent to my CM...and I am having some more
cramping and sharp pains!! I find myself stressing more today then
normal!! I want so bad to be preggo. As much as I think I am I know
that it could all turn out to be false....I hate this part of
stressing. So Hubby and I decided after this if we aren't preggo then
we will stop TTC until we wean Malachi of the breast!
October 20 2009
Now I am second guess myself. I was so sure that I actually had ovulated but now who knows. Chances are probably not. I mean come on PCOS, No periods, and BF what are my chances? I am still going to wait and I will test Oct 30 just to be sure but I am going to give up after that until we wean Malachi in March! I can't deal getting so excited when I have no chance of conceiving. As excited as I am about the thought of becoming pregnant if we don't this month then that means we can go on the missions trip we had been planning to trinidad. So that will be nice too! So not that it matters much but I woke up this morning with a temp of 96.8. My cervix is high,soft,and closed!
So I noticed that I have bumps on my cervix, 2 maybe more! I have looked it up and it say that lots of things including pregnancy could cause this (Pregnancy I can handle LOL) but either way it was worth getting checked out. I had my last pap in March 09...you think if this was more something would of showed up then right? I am gonna try not to stress about this! I am waiting on the nurse to call me back and see what they say!!
So the nurse called and told me that she didn't think that I should be concerned. She said my last pap was excellent and I have had no history fo issues. So I am going to relax. She told me to make sure I scheduled another pap in March!
This evening my back is acheing and when I move to fast in bed I get a sharp pain run accross my stomach. I also noticed that my nipples seem to hurt when Malachi first latches on. The underneath of my breast are a little sore to the touch too!
October 21 2009
Well I slept in really late this morning thanks to hubby taking the kids when he got home. Now that I am up I still feel sleepy. I woke up with another terrible taste in my mouth. I started to eat and I feel a little nauseous but not to bad!
It is 5:00 and I am so sleepy I am ready to fall asleep where I sit!! OMG I hope this are all early signs and I am not over annalizing everything!
I
was having some terrible cramping tonight! While I was working on
pumpkins any time I wood move to fast I would get the sharp pain! Then
last night I couldn't sleep on my belly because I was getting really
sharp cramps.
Ocober 22 2009
Well I didn't go to bed until 1:00 but when I woke up at 9:30 I felt so refreshed. My BBT was 97.2 and my cervix are high closed and medium to hard! My CM had not changed and is still white in color and sticky!. It also has this weird smell to it that I am not used to smell. Not sure what the deal is with that! 6DPO son only 8 days until I can test!!!
OMG my boobs are hurting tonight. It makes me all excited and hopeful!!!! OMG my boobs are hurting. I mean I don't have sensitive breast. My boobs rarely ach. I mean they don't ache before or during periods and they didn't ache during my first pregnancy. But they did with my second. I mean they really don't hurt to touch they just ache LOL
October 23 2009
So my temp was 97.4 this morning and my cervix was high, medium-closed, and hard. I feel fine...so I am all depressed that I am not preggo because I am not having big enough signs!! Oh this 2WW is terrible!!
This evening I still feel pretty good. A little sleepy and my breast ached a little but otherwise nothing :(
October 24 2009
Well I didn't get my temp taken this morning but I did check my cervix which was high, soft, and closed and was actually leaning back. Kinda weird! I feel fine other then being tired which is normal. I have noticed my breast are tender. I thought maybe it was just time to nurse because the achiness felt like how I used to feel if I was engorged...except that I am not engorged. My breast were actually soft and Malachi had no interest in nuring. He maybe nursed 30 secs on each side if that. So again I think maybe I have sor breast and thatis my sign that maybe I am preggo! I am getting so stressed over wondering!! I can't wait until Oct 30th to be able to get an answer either way!!!
October 25 2009
Aside
from being exhausted I have felt great this morning. I didn't get to
take my temp again but my cervix were still high, soft, and closed. I
did seem to have to pee a lot! I think I decided that I am gonna test
12DPO which will be Wed. So I will let yall know what I get!
October 26 2009
I
haven't really had and symptoms today! I have been pretty good!!! A
little tired but good!! So yet again I am thinking that I am probably
not pregnant. But who knows...I just know I HATE the 2WW!!!
I hope she doesn't show!!!!! I don't remember what my CM looked like as I didn't/don't track it, sorry.

Bluish tent to you CM is a HUGE sign of pregnancy not to give your hopes up!!!
Also if you go to www.beautifulcervix.com...it shows real pictures of a cervix during a normal cycle and during the first few wks of pregnancy. Its kinda gross but cool to see too!
