8 weeks PP, tracking CM question

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

I am using the Billings Method and am 8 weeks PP. My daughter is already sleeping through the night most nights and starting yesterday I have been having a very small amount of CM. It is between clear and yellowish/cream colored and kinda sort of stretchy, although it is hard to tell because its such a small amount. I am wondering if I should even be considering this CM as anything that could be possibly fertile. I am so confused because I have this CM but when we have sex we still need lube (sorry TMI) because of dryness...? I got pregnant about 7 weeks PP after my last pregnancy but I was not BF-ing because of the baby was stillborn at fullterm.

 

Any info would be greatly appreciated. TIA! thumb.gif

It is possible, especially considering that your baby is not nursing at night.  Do you know how to establish a BIP?  I don't know the Billings rules for this, but CCL recommends that you use several words to describe the color, texture, and amount, and chart these longer descriptions for 2 weeks.  If nothing changes for 2 weeks, consider this to be your BIP, and consider yourself infertile until something changes.

Sounds good. Thanks for the advice.
