Question

I am just wondering what it could mean to have a HUGE increase in cm 8 days past ovulation. I mean there is a ton of it (sorry TMI ) and it is not like fertile cm it is lotion like with tad bits of mucus in it but not stretchy at all. It is quite abundant and is an off white light light yellowish color. What could this mean. *** SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE ***

NOTE:: there are no other signs of possible infection. there is no foul smells or no itching or things like that we are ttc i have been with my husband for 5 years and get checked for STD's at regular OB appts. I am healthy and active. Along with the cm I am having tons of horrible heartburn and sensitive boobs not sore to the touch but just feel heavy and tender. and they are sore on the sides like underneath my armpits other than that that is all. *** AGAIN SERIOUS MATURE ANSWERS ONLY ***

Answer 1

There may be several things contributing to your symptoms: You may be pregnant, your period is coming, you may have an infection.

1. Pregnancy: Sometimes when a women first becomes pregnant she experiences many of the things you listed. Since you said you are 8 days past ovulation, it is likely your body is producing extra everything to ensure egg fertilization is successful. Take a pregnancy test if you do not get your period on it's assumed date.

2. Upcoming period: Every period, every month is different. Some months you experience extreme breast tenderness, some months you have peculiar food cravings etc about a week before your period. The breast tenderness and cm might just be this months pre-period symptoms.

3.Infection: It is also highly likely that all three syptoms you listed are not connected with one another. You might just have heartburn from some food you ate (try zantac, it's great!), your breasts just might be tender from menstural symptoms, and your cm might just indicate a bacterial infection. Most vaginal bacterial infections have no other symptoms then excessive mucus-like discharge.

Advice: Contact your OB/GYN office and schedule an appointment. Your doctor will take a look at the discharge and will be able to tell you if it is a minor bacterial infection. He or she will also be able to do bloodwork that will give you the most accuracte pregnancy "test". Bacterial infections can come from anything, such as wearing lacy underwear too frequently- do don't be alarmed! It's normal :)

Have a look at the information and websites provided below to perhaps find some insight into the trouble your having and also get checked out by your doctor of course. I wish you well and hope you get the information and treatment needed soon , good luck to you !

Lymphadenitis is inflammation of one or more lymph glands (lymph nodes), usually due to infection. Infections that commonly cause swollen lymph nodes include:

Strep throat
Mumps
Measles
Ear infections
Abscessed tooth
Mononucleosis
Tuberculosis
Certain sexually transmitted diseases
The lymph nodes play an important role in defending your body against infection. They help produce antibodies, special proteins that fight off infection. They also stop infection from spreading throughout your body by trapping bacteria and viruses and destroying them.

Infected lymph nodes swell and are usually tender and painful. A doctor typically can confirm a diagnosis of lymphadenitis based on symptoms and physical examination. If a cause can't be easily identified, further testing may be needed, such as a node biopsy or culture. Rarely, inflamed lymph nodes may be due to cancer. Treatment of lymphadenitis is directed at the underlying cause when possible.

A few years ago there was a bbc video called the human body which had some very interesting information on the functions of the human body , in one of the documentarys on this there was one which was purely devoted to sex , and functions of it, and what the process was .. orgasm orally will not increase your chance of getting pregnant , it is orgasm vaginally during sex which will , because the orgasm function dips the entrance of the cervix into the sperm , which makes the chances of pregnancy so much better . additionally you must learn to relax when you want another bub , and dont have sex to get pregnant , and be dissapointed if you dont , do it for fun still , and dont get dissapointed if you dont fall pregnant straight away. just ask a few people who have never been able to have kids , and there stories of how they got pregnant , most of them will tell you the doctor told them they would never have kids , and when they accepted that they werent going to get pregnant , fell pregnant pretty quick , because the hightened expectations and stress to fall , were removed. if you want to have a squizzie at the human body series by the bbc , the link is below , they actually stick a cam up the womans hoohaa and show you what it looks like when the woman has an orgasm. very interesting.

Answer 4

You may be pregnant. Or you may have an infection that is not an std but just a regular yeast or bacterial infection. Women get them all the time just like we get colds or any other kind of illness. The breast thing is kind of odd. I would recommend that you see a doctor who can actually examine you and has a medical degree. The rest of us can only speculate and we really don't know what we're talking about.

Answer 5

as for the cm, all i can say is that i had it too...felt like my undies were always wet...i never had any problems during my pregnancy, so i wouldnt' think it's a bad thing... :)

i don't really remember my boobs being tender, but i know it happens to be a regular thing to happen to women, so don't worry there... :)

as far as the heartburn, i experienced some, depending on what i ate...usually if i ate anything really spicy...

the main thing u gotta remember is that pregnancy is not going to be a comfortable thing...there's a baby growing inside your body, a body packed full of organs and it's amazing that it even fits in there...but it will make things uncomfortable for you...

here's what i did...when my back ached, i took a really hot shower and let it spray my back...felt like new again...i bathed a lot with cocoa butter soap and always put some kind of lotion on my belly and boobs...usually cocoa butter lotion...this allowed for my skin to be moisturized at all times so that when my skin stretched, it didn't hurt as much...that may be why your boobs hurt...it's skin is stretching...

but mainly remember...relax every chance you get and try to not get too stressed over the aches and pains...stress is one of the worst things that can happen to a baby...

i never took any medicine my whole pregnancy...drank lots and lots of water and skim milk and orange juice...and relaxed as much as could...i spread out my chores at home so i was on my feet only a little at a time...walked everyday...by doing all this, it made my pregancy seem like a sinch...

hope this helps :)

Answer 6

Maybe your pregnant. Best thing to do is go to your doctor if you have any questions about your vaginal area anytime your experiencing anything out of the usual. Heartburn and sore boobs are part of pregnancy, I haven't heard of an increase in c*m though while pregnant, but maybe no one talks about it. Hope all is well.

Answer 7

Hhmmm...That is strange. Maybe Yeast infection. I know you said you have no smell or itch, but I was the same way. I had no itch or smell. I went to the Doctor because my BF said he was a little itchy down there. Well I had a yeast infectioin with no side effects that was causing him to itch. Or maybe you are just pregnate?! Either way see a Doctor as soon as you can. Good Luck!

Answer 8

Miscarriage maybe, some times a miscarriage is similiar to a period just heavier and you will need to see a doctor for that. Since your body can only clean out what it can, a doctor will have to make sure to clean out the rest.

Answer 9

It could be another type of infection. If you have swelling under your arms (armpits), those are glands. Glands flare up when you have an infection.

You should go get it checked out. Obviously, you notice that something is not right...listen to your body.

Answer 10

Well as you asked this question in the pregnancy section and also mentioned lots of other pregnancy symptoms I guess the answer you want is you might be pregnant. So there you go. You might be pregnant.
