Can anyone explain?

I was wondering if anyone might be able to help me out. I am 4 DPO according to the calendar. We have just started TTC after I lost my son(stillborn) in June. DH and I BD last week and into this week ( saturday(O day) and last night. I went to the restroom this afternoon and wiped up some yellowish tinted Mucus ( Sorry TMI). Could anyone explain what this might be? I had it last monday but it was more whitish. Thanks for your help.

It could be a couple of things. First of all, if you BDd last night, it could be semen. It may also be normal (sometimes people do have patches of fertile CM after suspected ovulation) or it could be a sign of pregnancy. As long as it's not foul smelling or thick and "cheesy" (which could be signs of a yeast infection), it's probably normal and one of the three things I mentioned above.

Sorry I'm not much help, but at this point it's a bit of a waiting game for you.

I would also like to extend my sincere condolences on your loss. I wish you much peace and success as you continue your TTC journey.

First, my sympathies to you on your loss.

Yellow cm(cervical mucus) is very common after "o". It has something to do with the deterioration of the corpus luteum(the egg sack after the egg has been released). This is my understanding anyway.

GL to you and I hope this helps,

Tara

Thank you for your thoughts and sympathies. It really does mean alot. One more question..... Should DH and I keep BD or do you think that it is a mute point for conception at this stage? If we should what do the books say about everyday or every other day?? Thanks!
