Yellow cm-no pictures-advice?

HealthyIsBeautiful

Hey ladies, I was wondering if yellow cm is normal? Obviously my only partner has been my DH for a good while, and I don't have a yeast infection. I've had it for a few weeks now, almost like a period. I'm really concerned but I don't wanna go to the doctor over something that could be normal, so I was wondering if you guys could help me out. I'm a hypochondriac, so it's a big concern. Any advice or help would be great.

I'm genuinely confused by this. If its accompanied by a strong odor, I'd suspect BV (bacterial vaginosis) and make an apt with your doctor - I'm pretty sure its antibiotic treated.

If its just yellowish... you're probably fine.

No smell. Just yellow, well at least on the paper.

Have you and DH been having more sex than usual? Sometimes that can be the culprit. I've had yellowish CM before, but it was usually a day or two after sex, right before a period, or right around ovulation

@thewickedfairy‌ actually we've been having sex less than normal due to him working a lot of overtime...
@LindsRockies‌ haha I know right! I didn't want anyone thinking they were walking into a cm horror show with pictures.

No really, you're most likely fine. I agree with drinking more water to help clear it up.

Agree with @Cythe and @LindsRockies. Mine has appeared yellowish before, but I think that drinking water would have helped.

I would vote some sort of infection if it's enough to be compared to a yellow period. If it's cm with a tint, that's different and nothing strange.

Yes I agree it sounds like BV! But when i had it it sometimes didn't have an odor. I'd make an appointment because to get rid of it you need to take a certain kind of meds and if you have it too long It could lead to a UTI

If its bv it may itch or it may burn to pee or your ute may just be achy. I had reoccuring bc while i had my mirena in. After 3 rounds of antibiotics, i gave up and went holistic. I was on 2 months of probiotics and it finally cleared it up. A year later i started w/another and did ape cider vinegar baths, a vinegar doush and probiotics. Never bothered w/ an ob or antibiotics this time around. 3 mo later my mirena was removed.

Agree with pps advice to drink more water.  Also, I know that the PNVs turn my pee bright yellow, maybe it's making your CM more yellow, too? I just pulled this out of my ass, not sure if it's even possible, just throwing it out there.
