Wait, why did you have stretchy CM 5 dpo?

kevslady

Spotting can happen for a few reasons:

You can spot when you O (do you chart? You may have O'd later than you thought).

From BDing (sometimes the cervix is a little more sensitive)

From Gyn exams/treatments

Or as #3nextsummer said, you may have nicked it checking CP.

It is hard to say if it was IB or not - you really don't know until you get a BFP.

Oh that is a good point - if you had streatchy CM it may mean you were Oing then or if you BD'd it might be the leftovers and you irritated the cervix somehow.

I'm not an expert on spotting like that. Could there have been another cause?

I guess I should read posts before I ask a question huh? SO I guess my question now is could there be another cause other than the ones mentioned?

No, I have already had ovulated when I had that spotting.
My nurse thinks it was implantation spotting.. But, only time will tell..

I only check my Cervix when I o.. And, I already knew I ovulated already when I had the spotting & it was mixed into the stretchy CM yes..

But, I had already "O" so thats why I was 5 Dpo when it happened..

But, thanks..
For the helpful questions and answers...
I will keep that in mind. Maybe it was something else or something..
But I have heard IB as early as 5DPO..

I will keep you guys posted...

you can ovulate more than once during a cycle (rare but it happens) and sometimes women get increased CM again when pregnant.

#3nextsummer

But if you only check your cervix when you O how come you have the stats on your chart?

Did you have an u/s that showed when you o'd? Because if not, one can never know for sure when it took place. And you can have the spotting days after you actually o'd.
5 dpo is really early for IB. not impossible if you conceived on the day you o'd, but highly unlikely.

I'm willing to place money that it was from your cervix though. Given that you had stretchy cm, I'd say you must have had sex and bumped your cervix, or nicked it checking CP.

Could your possible endo be the cause? I don't know anything about endo myself so hopefully I didn't just make a dumb suggestion.

mommyandbaby

Well, I did have a ER visit, after ovulation. Cuz, I had some bad cramping that I thought I had an infection down there..
They did a wet prep, not a pap. Just were they took a cotton swab to swap some of the CM. Could have been it but I HAVE NEVER had that before after an exam..
Also, I ovulated due to temps with FF & an Positive OPK..

mommyandbaby

Um, Heres the deal with the positive OPK, I did something terrible dumb.
I did my own IUI.. YES DUMB.
So I went to the ER, Fearing I did something bad to myself.
They said that there was no infection and told me theres a chance I got Endo.
But, I had no tests to tell if I have it or not.
They wont test me untill I know for sure That I'm pregnant or not....
