The biggest link I've seen to watch for is tail end brown bleeding and/or prolonged spotting after AF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cm-during-luteal-phase#post-2691551 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 18:19:33 +0000 bhbee 2691551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: I think so. I think you'll always show a little bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cm-during-luteal-phase#post-2691550 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 18:03:51 +0000 mrskansas 2691550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Is this a normal line to have on an OPK at 8 dpo? </p> [attach=7778/17/oktmqf.450x600.20170203_170314.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cm-during-luteal-phase#post-2691429 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 13:58:14 +0000 mrskansas 2691429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: that's basically everything that has gone through my mind in the last few minutes, haha.<br /> I'm just hoping that this is normal for me &amp; I end up with a BFP! Thank you for your advice! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cm-during-luteal-phase#post-2691428 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 13:56:58 +0000 mrskansas 2691428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: Yes I am going to take an OPK when I get home, just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cm-during-luteal-phase#post-2691427 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 13:55:12 +0000 psw27 2691427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: I'm sure you don't need me to tell you about all the different variables that I thought of during the TWW -- oh it must be watery cause of implantation, or it must be watery cause AF is on her way... blah blah blah. If you had EWCM and a positive OPK, you definitely O'd last week! Fingers crossed for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cm-during-luteal-phase#post-2691426 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 13:54:54 +0000 LBee 2691426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: I would say very few people are text book, as reflected by the plethora of people on boards trying to figure out WTF is going on with their body. Good luck! Have you considered taking an OPK and trying to gauge where you are based on the darkness of that? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cm-during-luteal-phase#post-2691425 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 13:52:47 +0000 mrskansas 2691425@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LBee: I've heard it's common right before AF shows, but I can't seem to find anything about it being watery at 7/8 DPO.</p> <p>It's just odd because it comes in spurts. It'll be creamy and sticky in the evening and then the next morning it's watery. I wish I was a little more textbook, lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cm-during-luteal-phase#post-2691422 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 13:51:35 +0000 mrskansas 2691422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: That's what I'm worried about now! Although I had way more EWCM last week when I had my positive OPK.<br /> I guess anything is possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cm-during-luteal-phase#post-2691418 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 13:48:24 +0000 psw27 2691418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrskansas: No, no issues. I'm pregnant with #2 now! I only remember because I would always psyche myself out that we had missed O cause this was too much CM for post O.... I don't have low progesterone to my knowledge, and I've had blood work done in the past due to wonky irregular cycles. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cm-during-luteal-phase#post-2691417 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 13:47:55 +0000 LBee 2691417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always have watery CM before my period starts. I often have it during my luteal phase and go through the same damn mind game that @psw27 says. </p> <p>The only way I was ever able to make heads or tails of CM (and have it be useful) was with temping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cm-during-luteal-phase#post-2691410 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 13:42:37 +0000 mrskansas 2691410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@psw27: Did you have any issues getting pregnant? I remember with my daughter I had one day (9 DPO) of really thick white CM but can't seem to remember what happened the other days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cm-during-luteal-phase#post-2691408 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 13:39:09 +0000 psw27 2691408@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say mine is usually "watery". Sometimes its a bit more/thicker (sorry TMI) and I used to worry that meant I was ovulating late or again or something... or whatever mind game I wanted to play with myself haha... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cm-during-luteal-phase#post-2691385 Fri, 03 Feb 2017 13:15:24 +0000 mrskansas 2691385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies,<br /> I asked this question on the February POAS board but I wanted to ask in a separate thread too.<br /> Has anyone ever paid attention to CM during their luteal phase? I've read a few different places that watery CM after ovulation can indicate low progesterone, and I've been having tons of watery CM (currently 8 DPO). I don't have any other signs of low progesterone but this is still causing a little worry.<br /> Thanks! </p>
