are you usually dry, or moist before AF is to start.

i feel like AF is here, but there is no blood, i feel something gushing out of me, like i do when on AF, but there is nothing, just wet panties, problems, so didn't know if this is just a sign for me that AF is coming, or -

i did have some spoting on 10 DPO, and i have never had that before, so i am thinking that was some type of implantation bleeding. that was like 6 days ago, and AF should be here today or tomorrow.

what do you think?

Most women (including myself) are usually dry or sticky prior to AF. Before I knew I was pregnant (I am currently 25 weeks) I noticed alot of CM. I am also going to venture into the TMI catagory here, I had a feeling like bubbles or air trying to escape kinda like I could acually feel the CM. I was wet enough to reach my panties and was constantly checking to see if I had started yet because that is exactly what it felt like. I was also cramping alot so I was sure it was AF on her way, but low and behold I haven't seen her for over 6 months now. Good Luck. Oh yeah if you are 16 dpo (at least I am assuming by 10 dpo being 6 days ago) then you can definately test by now. Its worth a shot.

GA! I always get a day or two of a really runny lotiony (creamish colored) panty wetness pre-af, but I've heard it also be a very common bfp symptom too- so I'd say if af is still a no-show tomorrow, maybe start thinking about taking an fmu (first morning urine) test Thursday or Friday. GL and MEGA huge +++++++++ PV's coming your way! LOLove, Connie

Most women will be dry or sticky. However, a lubricative vaginal sensation can reappear in the days before AF arrives. This is because the watery part of the uterine lining will break down first, causing a more "clear/wet/watery" discharge; AF usually follows a few days later. In the past, I've quite commonly had this wetness for about 2 days before AF.

It's also possible to have creamy CM post-O; some say it's a sign of pg... however, I had 6 days of creamy CM before AF arrived last cycle, so it doesn't always work as a pg sign.

Given the spotting you had at 10DPO, though... I'd recommend taking a HPT!

Good luck to you!

I know exactly what you mean. When we started ttc last month, I too noticed a lot of CM following ovulation. I had never felt that in the past before AF arrived. I thought that it was just because I was paying attention to my body closer. However, a couple weeks later I found out I was pregnant. I have since lost the baby, but just thought I would let you know, it was a sign of pregnancy for me. Good luck to you. Keep us posted.

i am sure that i am getting ready to start AF, i have been TTC for over 2 years now, and it would be too much of a miracle, and don't want to get my hopes up.

i just have never spotted like i did, and when i figured out it was 10dpo i was like - omg its implantation bleeding, it was perfect timing, so this part has me like could i really be pg.

but, i have no other signs other than my nipples being very tender, and i usually get that when AF is comming so who knows.

thank you for all the advice.

I was thinking of asking the same question. I always feel wet or moist the day before my spotting or period starts. I have been feeling that way for 2 days now (counting today). Still no AF. I usally have cramping too. But I cannot tell if what I am feeling is cramping or nervousness.

I should be starting on Thursday, but last month I started early. Not sure what to think either. It is good to hear someone else has it too.

Let me know how is goes for you.

Honey don't get discouraged. My fiance and I were not ttc but we were not trying to prevent it. I would only have 3-4 cycles in a year where I would ovulate, the rest were annovulatory. We were planning on getting married and knew we wanted kids within the first couple of years but knew it may take longer than that to conceive so we just threw the condoms and BCP out the window. We went two years unprotected and then got pregnant 2 1/2 months before our wedding date. I never believed I would be able to get pregnant without some kind of medical intervention, the doctors even told me so. Usually when you start thinking you will never become pregnant and stop obsessing over every symptom is when it happens. Good Luck and I really hope this is it for you, keep us updated.

Tasha,

Why do women ovulate some months and not others? Did your dr. give you a reason for that? I'm 15months in trying and wonder if this is happening to me. Thanks, dd

Oh wow! It is like I wrote that last message! I am due Thursday, and I was early last month! I am having similar experiences down there and am constantly making mad rushes to the toilet praying there is nothing there. LOL!

That is me too. Are you getting any cramps? I am getting a little, but I am not sure if they are really cramps. Still no spotting for me. I thought for sure I would start spotting today because I have the wettness yesterday.
