Bright Yellow CM??

[Nutter]

DH & I are not currently TTC, but will be sooner or later. I chart, but also use condoms. Normally I ovulate between day 12 & 16 - my longest ever is 19 days. I normally only have 1 or 2 days of EWCM, and often 1 of those days is the day of my temp shift.

I am now on day 23 without a clear rise in my BBT to indicate that I've ovulated, and day 4 of EWCM (preceeded by 5 days of 'almost' EWCM). Yesterday I had bright yellow EWCM - similiar to the colour your pee turns with some B Vitamins. Bright yellow EWCM was a first for me. The two most common causes I found on the www for bright yellow CM were a YI, or pregnancy. I've had YI's before and this doesn't feel like that at all. But my chart doesn't even show that I've ovulated yet so I'm not sure if pregnancy is the cause either. I know I could take a pregnancy test but I don't have any at home at the moment.... I'll have to buy one tomorrow and then test Wednesday am??

Any other common causes for bright yellow EWCM??

Thanks for your help!

Do you have your chart online? I get yellow CM in the LP and when I'm pregnant - it's from progesterone.

ARE you taking a B-complex? Because it does turn my CM yellow, I've noticed. So bizzare! I didn't notice it when I was taking the supplement in the past but that may be because I wasn't paying so much attention to my CM.

Thanks for the insights.

My chart is here and as of this morning shows a tentative ovulation day. Days 15-19 were originally marked EW but then I got really EWCM so I went back and changed them to W since they were less EW* than days 20-24 were. (*less stretch than true EW). I'm just beginning to chart cervical position so the medium/high labels might not be 100%.

I take Progressive Nutritionals Prenatal Vitamins - which does turn my urine that yellow colour... I think I may have taken my morning & lunchtime vitamins fairly close together that day so perhaps it was just a B-Vitamin thing.... time will tell! I'm feeling a little calmer...
