Can we talk about "snail trail"? (TMI, I know)

So I have this BV issue right now. And I am on the gel form of antibiotics, which is kinda gross. But up until today I didn't really notice a lot of discharge, just a small amount.

Now I am having this watery, sort of like fertile CM type thing going on. I am sure it's normal, but part of me is nervous that I am leaking fluid that I shouldn't be. I worry about this a lot lately, for some reason.

My question is, do you have this too? I have heard people mention the "snail trail", particularly during 3rd tri. Is this it?

I have a similar problem, and I've definitely had to start wearing those little mini pads. ?They help a lot! ?Unfortunately, I also snissed for the first time the other day. ?So that doesn't help things either

I know it's gross, but I've heard people on here mentioned that leaking fluid smells "sweet" so maybe that can help you tell the difference.

I've had quite a bit of CM lately, too.  Since it looks just like CM and it wasn't a huge gush, I haven't worried too much.  I am glad I still have some pantyliners around, though!  Didn't think I'd need those!

Are you on metro gel?  If so, that will cause A LOT of discharge.  And it doesn't happen right away, it takes a couple days to come out after the 1st dose.  You'll still have that nasty stuff coming out 3 or 4 days after your last dose.  HTH!

Also, I've had a lot of CM throughout this pregnancy, I have to wear a panty liner every day.

I am on metrogel. I did notice some funky discharge a few days after I started it. My last dose was last night so hopefully that will help.
