question about CM and waiting

Hi there. Pretty new to the board. Just a quick question. This is my first month trying and AF is due 8/24. This waiting is driving me crazy. I feel some light cramping, like I'm going to start my period, am a little nauseous at times and have a smell thing going (everything smell rotton). I've been pregnant before, so I'm a little familiar with some of the signals, but not really the early ones. My first little guy was a bit of a surprise. If I had them, I wasn't paying attention.

Anyway, my question is about vaginal discharge. If you are pregnant, do you seem to have more cm after ovulating than normal. Every month I notice increased CM around ovulation but no other time. Now I'm noticing some CM in my underpants on a daily basis. Is this a sign or am I just looking for things? I was pretty anxious so I've already taken a hpt. It came up BFN, but I'm pretty sure I tested too soon. I tested one week after my missed AF with my son and it too came up BFN. It wasn't until two weeks post AF that I got a positive. If I have to wait 2 more weeks, I'm going to go crazy. How do some of you do this every month?

there is a vaginal discharge that starts after you get pregnant...I can't remember what it's called, "lochia" I think, but it's normal...also an enhanced sense of smell is a symptom...some others very early symptoms I've heard of are being overly tired, hungry or emotional...especially if you aren't usually emotional. Some people see blue veins on their boobs very early on and get sore nipples. We're trying for #4 and I'll have to wait another 8 days or so before I can test. Do you seem to be having any other symptoms? Keep your fingers crossed!! Amanda

Heres how I get through ... I buy a ton of cheapy tests and live on the board ! LOL! Yes you can have more cm when pregnant but I always have it after O. Mine is always a creamy like cm and it is noticbale on undies. If you cant stand the wait go to

www.babywishes.homestead.com and order some cheapy tests to get you through the wait! It works for most of us !! HUGS and hope to see a BFP soon !!

Thank you all for your words of encouragement. Still waiting. AF scheduled to arrive any day. Hope she stays away. Good luck to everyone.
