Question

New here...what is this inside me?!

My husband and I aren't using protection, and every once in a while we notice a thick "dry" like stuff that comes out of me when we are intimate. Then within a few days, it'll turn wet and slippery. Neither one of us know about "ovulation" but I was recently diagnosed with a Hemophagic Folicular Cyst on my right ovary that was EXTREMELY painful, and this has been about 5 months ago that its been diagnosed, but I've had painful intercourse with my husband since we've been married, May 12, 2012. What is this substance? Last week on Wednesday I had that dry stuff during intercourse, THEN just yesterday I was discharging clear stuff all day. Is this ovulation, or increased cervical fluid in beginning of early pregnancy? My last period was Sept 23ish but it was brown and light. I only ended up using one tampon on the 25 th. According to the calculators on here in 3 DPO...help!! Have also had sensitive nipples, and a really weird pinching sensation inside above pubic bon

It sounds to me like your normal cervical fluid changes but the painful intercourse sounds like something you should talk to your doctor about. I had the same pain and it ended up being endometriosis and an ovarian cyst. I had laparoscopic surgery and the pain during intercourse stopped. I have the weird pinching sensation too and I think that could be ovulation pain but I am not sure. As for the light period it happens to me too, some months are heavy and some are not I think that's normal. As much as it sucks there really isn't anything you can do but wait and take a pregnancy test in about a week. Good luck!!

Firstly woohoo we married the same date but different years!!!! It sounds to me like possible ovulation. I also suffer from the odd cyst and endometriosis which causes painful intercourse. You can try different positions and get him not to penetrate so deep seems to make some difference to me. Try lubrication if you aren't already this can help with the dry stuff and possible pain you may be describing. Slippery cm, tender bbs and cramp twinges with lower back can all be indications of ovulation approaching or Ovulation. I find if I baby dance every night I get a lot of cramps with my endometriosis try every second or third night. Sperm can live in fertile cm for up to five days! Best of luck!
