some what embarrassing question....

in Trying to Get Pregnant

But whatever I'm just going to ask it.

Its about vaginal odor and CM.

Throughout my cycle I seem to have on and off odor, its not fishy, its hard to describe, but not fishy. Normal? if it was an infection would it be a constant smell for the whole cycle?

CM, I do get pretty much all the stages of CM, but sometimes I notice it has a yellowish tinge, more so if I'm wearing white underwear I notice it, and its for sure yellow, but again, not throughout my whole cycle does it appear. Normal?

TIA ladies

    Mine is sometimes a little off-white. If it itches or bothers you, I would call your doctor. I've had a YI before and I think my tinged CM is different. Just be sure that you're washing your hands before you check for CM and whatnot to prevent infections.

    It doesn't itch or sting when I pee or anything like that, which makes me believe its nothing to worry about, and it didn't really start until I stopped BCP. Maybe I'll head to the doctor and see what he says.

    I don't think I have any odor, but I did notice my CM turning yellowish once I began taking Prenatals with B vitamins.  If you are taking vitamins, just remember that they can turn your pee and CM pretty vivid colors!  If you are concerned, just call your gyno and ask.  Can't hurt!

     

    I do take prenatal's, and I have noticed it since stopping BCP and start everything TTC.?

    I've read that CM can have a sweet smell before ovulation and a vinegar smell after.  I've never had a smell to mine so I don't know if that's true or maybe it's so slight it's hard to sense it. Who knows.  As far as color, it is whiter during certain parts of the cycle. I've never really had yellow.  If it's something you notice all the time then that maybe what is normal for you.

    Okay I'm going to be totally honest here.

    Yup, CM smells.  Mine changes from somewhat sweet to kind of ammonia-like--I think I'm probably the only one who notices, but I can definitely tell the changes.  Mine is also somewhat yellow, especially at the end of my cycle, and it always has been--now that I'm on a B complex and my PNVs, it's VERY yellow!

    I found a secret weapon this month in yogurt.  Totally unbelievable amazing difference in how my entire vagina feels.  The smell isn't gone or anything--that would weird me out, I've had a smell my entire life since puberty!--and if anything, there's actually more of the creamy CM (and more EWCM too).  I haven't had a dry day in this cycle yet, and almost no sticky days (2?).  Plus, and I don't know how to describe it, but everything just feels balanced down there.  No irritation after sex, no problems with arousal fluid, nothing.  I started eating it because of the beginnings of a yeast infection, but it helped so much that I haven't stopped.  Yay Yogurt!

    I've been eating about 2 cups a day--it's now what I have for breakfast, and for a snack in mid afternoon.  You could also use the acidophilous pills!

    You're totally normal.  I don't know why more of us don't talk about this!

    I would keep an eye on it. If it's a pattern every month, then it doesn't seem likely that it's a YI because it goes away and comes back in a pattern. If you start feeling uncomfortable, then I'd call your doctor. GL!

    Thanks :)

    Nice to know I'm not the only one!

Funny you mention this because I've been eating about a cup everyday because I got a bunch on sale and gotta eat it before it expires! not sure if I notice  a huge difference in CM but I've had more noticeable "creamy" CM so may it has made a difference

    ;) Thanks, I've been worried about not doing anything about it, but always told myself I don't need to see the doctor because its not a fishy smell, theres no burning etc etc but I was starting to wonder if I shouldn't be ignoring it. My coworker used to work at a fertility clinic and has told me stories of women coming in, and during the work up finding out they have had infections that have interfered/been the culprit with conception and losses, so that made my mind wonder too Embarrassed

     All this talk want me to get a pic of whats his name from Super Bad with the caption "VAG" on it, lol

    I love it!!! Yogurt is some awesome stuff!! I agree, whats so wrong with talking about what some if not most of us go through!

     I have been to the doctor about a smell before and tested but they said it wasnt as bad as they thought it would be and it ended up being nothing. If thats something you normally get then I would stress to much about it, but if you have never been check out for it before then go and see what they say :) GL
