ok ladies, help me remember please, because i'm racking my brains out! :thumbdown:

i haven't had a period (normal or drug induced) in a long time, im currently sorting out my PCOS issues, and i never really been diagnosed for it until i switched GYNs and demanded for a whole slew of tests to be ran...by the way, i got poked three times today to do the insulin resistance and hormone level testing, what a joy that was! :crying:

so, im posting this because, i remember way back in the day when i was of normal weight and having periods, my nipples would get really tender/sore and deep pink about a week before i was to get my period. that's what's going on now. BUT i also have clear,non smelly, "vajay" discharge.(sorry if TMI, lol :cursing:) i can't, for the life of me, remember if i got this too before my periods when my system was normal...

my question (and i know i can google it and find out, but i rather speak to my fellow bandster ladies) do you get this discharge too before your periods? and if you do, what's up with that?!?!?!

is the discharge sticky and stringy like egg whites?

is the discharge sticky and stringy like egg whites?

If yes, this is a normal discharge before ovulation.

thanks tomato&minnie, i never really paid attenion to it, i just know its clear, but i'll check it out next time.

thanks again!!!!

To check it, first thing in the morning, stick a finger in your vaginal canal, pull it out and press your thumb against it and then pull it apart slowly. If it has the same texture as egg whites (the thicker and "goopier", the better), you are fertile (and if you're trying to get pregnant, go get it on).

well, now that you mention it, i would love to get PG, but i know now isn't the time...i know i have to loose more weight; but that's the main reason why i had my surgery-> in hopes to loose this weight, get this PCOS in remission, and get preg!!!

Well, when you do try to get pregnant, I recommend getting the book "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". It will teach you all the signs of your body's fertility and how to watch for it. After nearly 3 years TTC, I got the book and was pregnant a month and a half later.

oooo...that's awesome! i can't wait to be at that part of my life. right now it feels like i'll never get there! thank God time goes by fast.

Kiki, LOL. You think times goes fast now? Wait till you have a baby! The little rug rats are really calenders in diapers! I just can't believe I have a 19 yr old when i still feel 23 yrs old myself....

:smile: well, i think i might know what you mean; there's a nine year age difference between my little brother and myself. when he was a baby, my parents traveled a lot and left us with aunts or older cousins, and i would watch over him every time like i was his mom. even during summer vacation when my mom would leave to work, she would leave us in care with our nanny, i would still watch over him like a hawk! LOL. i remember lots of little things from when he was an infant, todler, starting preschool,etc. he's now a junior in h.s. and turning 17 in december, i ask my parents "where did it all go?" he's not my baby anymore, but i still can't believe he's all grown up!!! :thumbup:
