thanks hope.. but the lotiony, white, wet cm that you're talking about is when you got preggo or when you're af is coming?

I never experienced breast tenderness except when preggo from the 6th week onwards and that also, i believe noted it only after my Dr asked me is ur breast sore. Otherwise I would have noted it only week 8 or 9. So, its ok if u dont have any symptoms. CM will be lotiony, white, mosit, wet, sticky. Its ok if u dont see it, coz Ive never seen it as well. Started getting all the progesterone CM only after week 5.

oops sorry.. i accidently pressed the tab button. but yes caryn that helped me a whole lot.. now i kind of know a little about everything... but for me my body is really weird.. like i never do feel my progesterone hormones. but maybe just the last 2 months after i ovulated my breasts were really really sensitive. and then that's when i know i have finished ovulating and my af is on it's way. but this month i never had any breast tender of anything. so what would that mean? and i was just sick like a week and a half ago.. and just this past weekend i had the worst headache (dizziness) ever. i mean i couldn't even get out of bed. and i had it for 3 days.. maybe it could of been from my sickness though, but from that, it would make me "gag" and i would feel like i had to throw up. but i mean is there anything wrong with me by hearing all these things that's been happening? Oh ya and how is your cm suppose to be???? Thank you so much caryn..

RaeNathan, I am going to try to answer your questions as best I can

After Ovulation your symptoms can be, sore breasts, slight cramping, elevated BBT. These do not indicate that you are pregnant, most likely they are progesterone symptoms. If you temp 16 days of elevated temps above your coverline MAY indicate you are pregnant.

Some Pregnancy symptoms may be

Tender, swollen breasts

Your breasts may provide one of the first symptoms of pregnancy. As early as two weeks after conception, hormonal changes may make your breasts tender, tingly or sore. Or your breasts may feel fuller and heavier.

Fatigue

Fatigue also ranks high among early symptoms of pregnancy. During early pregnancy, levels of the hormone progesterone soar. In high enough doses, progesterone can put you to sleep. At the same time, lower blood sugar levels, lower blood pressure and increased blood production may team up to sap your energy.

Slight bleeding or cramping

For some women, a small amount of spotting or vaginal bleeding is one of the first symptoms of pregnancy. Known as implantation bleeding, it happens when the fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the uterus — about 10 to 14 days after fertilization. This type of bleeding is usually a bit earlier, spottier and lighter in color than a normal period and doesn't last as long.

Some women also experience abdominal cramping early in pregnancy. These cramps are similar to menstrual cramps.

Nausea with or without vomiting

Morning sickness, which can strike at any time of the day or night, is one of the classic symptoms of pregnancy. For some women, the queasiness begins as early as two weeks after conception.

Nausea seems to stem at least in part from rapidly rising levels of estrogen, which causes the stomach to empty more slowly. Pregnant women also have a heightened sense of smell, so various odors — such as foods cooking, perfume or cigarette smoke — may cause waves of nausea in early pregnancy.

Food aversions or cravings

When you're pregnant, you might find yourself turning up your nose at certain foods, such as coffee or fried foods. Food cravings are common, too. Like most other symptoms of pregnancy, these food preferences can be chalked up to hormonal changes — especially in the first trimester, when hormone changes are the most dramatic.

Headaches

Early in pregnancy, increased blood circulation caused by hormonal changes may trigger frequent, mild headaches.

Constipation

Constipation is another common early symptom of pregnancy. An increase in progesterone causes food to pass more slowly through the intestines — which can lead to constipation.

Mood swings

The flood of hormones in your body in early pregnancy can make you unusually emotional and weepy. Mood swings are also common, especially in the first trimester.

Faintness and dizziness

As your blood vessels dilate and your blood pressure drops, you may feel lightheaded or dizzy. Early in pregnancy, faintness may also be triggered by low blood sugar.

Raised basal body temperature

Your basal body temperature is your oral temperature when you first wake up in the morning. This temperature increases slightly soon after ovulation and remains at that level until your next period. If you've been charting your basal body temperature to determine when you ovulate, its continued elevation for more than two weeks may mean you're pregnant.

If you miss your period, check for pregnancy.

Hope this helps
