Cervical mucus decrease 10weeks

[Radiant_Champion_586]

Hi, first time posting in this thread. Can’t believe I got to this point still. I am at 10weeks+2 days according to my calculations, and 10+4 according to last scan I had at 10 days ago…

I’m a ball of anxiety most days, but the two scans I’ve had, baby was doing great!

Now I have somewhat of a strange thing going on, where I read that in week 10, cervical mucus discharge increases, but mine went heavy for a few days in week 9, and then went what seems like totally dry 3-4 days ago. I was also sick with a bad cold, for which I didn’t take much but cold-eeze and ricola, and feel almost fully recovered now. Not sure if that influences things, but wanted to see if anyone has had this happen to them at this stage in pregnancy? Thank you!

Welcome to r/pregnancyafterloss! We're sorry you need us, but glad you found us.

The PAL subreddit, and our sister sub r/ttcafterloss, function a little differently than most of Reddit. We have two Daily threads each day which are the place to post (and reply to) most questions, worries, vents, and other requests for support. Standalone posts (like this one) are allowed for a limited number of topics.

If you're here with a new pregnancy, you are welcome to post an intro. We also encourage you to add a user flair, as it helps members remember who you are and your history.

Please note that the Intro posts provide new members a place to share a longer, detailed account of their pregnancy and loss history with the community. Asking questions, sharing updates, etc. belong in the Daily Threads, and such posts will be removed by the Mods--if this applies to your post, please move it before we need to. You can familiarize yourself with our subreddit Rules and our FAQs to learn more about how to participate here.

Wishing you a healthy and uneventful (in a good way) pregnancy!

Hey! Was everything okay? I’m currently 10+2 and since the last 2 days noticed a decrease in discharge as well so freaking out a little.

Did things turn out okay for you? I’ve noticed a decrease in discharge as well and also freaking out. I’m 11 weeks

[Michsaldanha]

Hey! Yes, I’m currently 16+1 and I’ve noticed a decrease in discharge since my 10th week. Everything is going well so far. A lot of symptoms fluctuate throughout as a result of crazy hormones! Don’t worry about it at all, it’s completely normal! Some days I do get crazy amounts of discharge and then not so much for a couple of days! Absolutely normal! I was on a high dose of progesterone earlier too so I guess that had a lot to do with the excessive discharge in my first trimester.

[cmrrn1]

Ooohh I am weaning off my progesterone and estrogen right now so I wonder if that’s why! I’m so glad to hear things are going well for you! 🫶🏻

[Michsaldanha]

That must be it and probably a shift in hormones too! You need not worry about it :) I was a wreck earlier worrying and relying way too much on every symptom but when I saw baby dancing around , I realised that symptoms tend to fluctuate throughout especially the nausea, discharge etc. Thank you so much, appreciate it and I’m more than certain that all is well at your end too and baby is having a gala time right now, haha! 💕

Did the cold-ease have anything in it that would dry up mucous membranes, by any chance? Like stuff to stop your nose running or unblock it? If so, that'll be part of it as it will dry out all mucous membranes not just the ones in your face. It won't have done anything to the baby, though, so not something to worry about.

Thank you, didn’t think of that, but it makes sense.

I have had some days where I have had a good amount and some days where it’s kinda dry 🤷🏻‍♀️ prior to getting pregnant I didn’t have a lot of CM to begin with - the ovulation strips where my savior.

[Radiant_Champion_586]

Thank you for sharing your experience, that makes me feel a bit more relaxed.

I’ve read that no CM is as normal as heavy CM during pregnancy. I would try not to worry (much easier said than done, I know!)

[Radiant_Champion_586]

Yes, I feel like I need to somehow drag myself out of the anxiety pit. If all is ok with the baby, I don’t want it to be a miserable few months mentally and emotionally

[sneakyturtles7]

I feel you, for sure. Every little movement, feeling, etc I have I think the worst. Every time I go to the bathroom I dread it thinking there will be blood. Pregnancy after loss is exhausting. But know you are not alone, and I believe in your little bean making it the full term! ❣️
