Cervical Mucus as a Symptom of Being Pregnant

Cervical mucus could be early pregnancy discharge. But it could also be:

• Normal vaginal discharge.

• Yeast infection discharge.

• Ovulation discharge.

Here is more input from FAQ Farmers:

• I remember seeing that thick stuff that looked like snot on my tissue and thinking, "What is this?" I certainly experienced that stuff during my two pregnancies.

• I had a doomed pregnancy a few months ago with a miscarriage at only about 6 weeks, and I did have the same excess of "snotty" discharge. I am now confirmed pregnant at about 5 weeks and am experiencing the same thing! So I think it can be a symptom, but not a gaurantee that you are pregnant.

• I had an increase in cervical mucus and remember thinking how odd that was because I am not normally like that. I was, in fact, pregnant.

• I am no expert, but this would be my third pregnancy and I am showing those same signs. I would say like ovulating but milky. Yes usually I am dry a few days out of the month but not this month.

• I noticed a lot of cervical mucus when I became pregnant, which was unusual before my period. (I miscarried at 8 weeks.)

• My husband and I have been trying only for a month or so now. I was also curious about this question, "is cervical mucus an early sign of pregnancy?". Sometimes ejaculate can look a lot like cervical mucus, and it is difficult not to confuse the two.
• No you just got a cold put a tissue on it and blow
