hi everyone
still feeling upset over what i posted about yesterday but this month was still a TTC month so im still hopeful!
im just wondering what CM should be like leading up to AF? im due in about 3-4 days and today i noticed stretchy CM, not like the kind i have when i O, but definitely slippery and stretchy between fingers (sorry TMI)
also, when should you notice a drop in BBT leading up to AF? i know everyone is different where temps are concerned but is there a rough figure for what it should be around that time?
thanks in advance

For some women, increased CM is one of the first symptoms they have that indicates that they are pregnant. Not sure if pregnant CM is stretchy as I have never been pregnant before! :)

The temperature drop occurs within 48 hours of the arrival of AF. Most women have a dip in temps, then AF arrives. Some women have higher temps on the first day or two of AF and then they drop to pre-ovulation temps. There is not a set date to see a dip in temps because all weomen have varying lengths of cycles. Usually it is between 12-15 DPO.

Hope this helps!

Having more CM a few days before AF starts can be an extremely good sign! Normally, a woman's CM will dry up a lot after ovulation and before AF. CM isn't necessarily a good indicator of pregnancy, but I hear a lot of women see plenty of it when they get their BFP. Do you normally see this kind of CM before AF?

thank you to you both for your replies!
i think i have had quite a bit of CM before AF before but never noticed it being "stretchy" as such.
my boobs are still very painful and heavy and am starting to get a weird tingly feeling in them, similar to when you get goosebumps. so im hoping thats a good sign too. but knowing my luck AF will come along soon and ruin everything! but we have to hang onto hope.
Baby dust to all~
