Question

Clear, somewhat sticky, jelly-like discharge?

I am approaching my usual ovulation time, but this is different CM than I ever recall having. My normal EWCM is exactly like egg whites: Clear, stringy, stretches up to 3 inches, odorless. What I have now is also odorless, clear with some white in it, not very stretchy, kind of sticky and of a similar consistency to jelly. It clumps up when rolled between the fingers, but it's not like the cottage cheese clumping that comes with a yeast infection... it's very different. I know it's not semen because I haven't BD'd in a week.

I've also had a consistently high cervix since before my last period, which started April 23 and was only 3 days. My usual period length is 5-6 days.

Does it sound like some sort of an infection? Should I try an HPT since my period was so short? I'm running out of ideas, any suggestions welcome. Thanks!

Do you have any other symptoms? It sounds a bit like the mucus the cervix produces to plug the opening in early pregnancy. But then again it could be something else entirely. If you've got a hpt spare I would use it just to put your mind to rest. xx GL xx

It sounds very similar to the mucus I have 3-5 days before ovulation. I really liked when I started noticing that type of mucus as a trend because it was the first time I could really predict that ovulation was coming.

I've noticed possible pregnancy symptoms, but I don't want to go crazy and get DH's hopes up, so I'll try to wait it out until next AF is due and see what happens.

Thanks ladies for your responses!
