Creamy cm as basic pattern?

[mommybritt]

Hi all,
I'm cd 25, 8 dpo and I've had creamy cm for the past few days. Could this be my basic pattern? I haven't noticed it before but this is our first month ttc and I'm paying really close attention to things

Any thoughts? And, yes, I'm sure I o'ed per my temps and cm.

Thanks.

NOt to give you false hopes or anything...but I had creamy cm this cycle, approx cd22, and I was worried that I was o'ing late...then 3 days later tested positive..... dust to you

Hi, Britt! Hoping the best for you. I noticed creamy cm today. I'm around cd25 but just o'd the other day (and we missed it ) So much more complicated with two. I wish I had paid more attention the first time around after the IUI.

Hope all is well and that we read good news from you soon! I know M. would make a great big sibling

Is creamy cm an indicator of O or pregnancy?

Domestic Goddess,

That's a good question, and when I had it, I thought it meant that I had O'd later than I thought, and started to panick. I went to the Ovusoft discussion boards to try and find an answer, but was never able to post there....anyway, turns out I was pg..but again, whether there is a direct corrolation, I do not know!
(lot of help I am : )

I almost always have a day or 2 of creamy CM right before AF comes. I never really noticed until I started charting.

I am 13dpo-but my temp dropped a bit last night and I think AF is within hours of rearing her ugly head. So bummed-it's been 6 months now. I'll try to keep her around and give her a good thrashing.

Oh, Tuli, that sucks.

Domestic Goddess, I just reread TCOYF and it seems that creamy cm usually happens before o (and before ew cm) but it didn't make much mention of it after that. I'm confused : but what else is new?!

I hate to miss a good mucus conversation. I always found that creamy cm was a normal 'in-between' state. After ovulation, it would change to creamy, then really watery about a day before af. But, if I were pregnant, it never got watery, just stayed creamy all the way through the pregnancy. At least that's what has happened my two times.

I'll be hoping for continual creaminess then
