Excess/Heavy discharge

Has anyone ever experienced heavy or excess discharge during their pregnancy? My period's not due until next week but i've been having some cramping and my discharge is extremely heavy. No odor, no itch. It actually feels like I have a light flow the way it kinda gushes out. Im sure every woman knows the feeling when you sit down too long while on your period and when you get up you feel the flow. Thats how this feels but it is definitely not blood. It mostly happens in the early afternoon and kind of tapers off toward evening. I have never had anything like this happen to me before. I thought maybe it could possibly be an early sign of pregnancy. I AM sexually active with my husband we were trying for a while but recently decided to just let things happen naturally. I could also swear that my areolas are darker. Im experiencing the usual pre menstrual symptoms (sore breasts, tender nipples, headaches, irritability), but the heavy CM is just not normal for me. Anyone with any advice or ideas please feel free to comment. Also I know its not any kind of infection or STD.

When I first became pregnant I noticed a lot more discharge before my missed period but my pregnancy ended in a m/c. This can be a sign of pregnancy but is definitely not a symptom. I've also read that while excess cervical mucus after ovulation can be a sign of pregnancy it can also be a sign that you didn't ovulate. The reason being because your body didn't use all of the hormones for ovulation it has excess left over which causes you to have more CM. That is just something I read so correct me if it is wrong. Your symptoms sound like pregnancy but just remember that pregnancy symptoms can mirror PMS and other illnesses. Good luck!

I have had heavier discharge since being pregnant. For me it didn't increase until later in the pregnancy, but every woman is different. All you can do now is wait and see what happens. You may very well be pregnant!

I am 14 weeks pregnant and wear a panty liner most days because of my discharge. The discharge didn't start off heavy but became heavier at around 8 weeks maybe. Now it is a hassle to deal with, not to mention gross.

Hi there, it's me :-)

The last time I was pregnant was 21 yrs ago but I do seem to recall a discharge which I thought was very annoying. Is it yellowish in color? Also, do you crave salty foods or citrus fruits? You said your breasts were tender....does that tend to happen every month? Are you getting nauseous at all? Ok, well that's my input. Hopefully this is a sign that you are pregnant this time around. I'll keep my fingers, toes, and eyes crossed for you :-) I'll even braid my hair so that it's crossed too. LOL

thanks tobeamiss: the discharge doesn't really have much of a color its just alot of it. If i didn't wear a liner the entire crotch of my panties would be wet. There's no distinct odor either. I haven't had any cravings even if i am pregnant i think its a little too early for that. my period is due in a few days (hoping it doesn't come). no nausea just a little queasiness, headaches, and light headedness. I hope this is it too. I've got everything crossed as well. I have a doctor's appt on thursday, my period is supposed to come around tues or wed so by thursday maybe a blood test would show accurately.

I had read that one of the earliest signs were the cravings of salt or citrus. good luck on thursday. (thumbs up) ;-)

Comments on this post
bekah876 agrees: I craved a lot of salty foods about a week before I found out I was pregnant. I never even thought of that as a sign.

bekah how far along were you when you found out?
my doctor's appt is two days away, im so anxious. Technically my period was supposed to start today or i should have atleast started spotting but i haven't seen anything except for the excess discharge. My nipples are so sore it hurts to even have my bra on. Im hoping and praying that this is it. I was tempted to take an hpt this morning but i think i'll just wait for the doctor to do a blood test. keeping my fingers and everything else crossed
