Yellowish Stretchy CM? (Tmi?)

Question

Hey everyone. I'm ttc#1 and 10dpo. Last night I had what felt like implantation cramps (not sure but af isn't due yet, no sign of her and i don't usually cramp much when I have af anyway). this morning I woke up nauseous and tired. And this afternoon when I went to wipe I had this like thick yellowish super stretchy cm. It looked like yellow snot. Wiped again and got some slightly clearer ewcm similar to what I get when I ovulate. Has anyone that ended up getting a bfn ever had this? Is this a pregnancy symptom our what? Never had cm like that before.

Discharge After Ovulation: A Sign Of Pregnancy?
by MEGHAN GILBERT
Most women have vaginal discharge at many different times throughout their cycle. During ovulation, white and watery discharge is common and accepted as normal. But, discharge after ovulation is widely believed to be a sign of pregnancy.

The Drying Up Myth
There is a myth that women will dry up after ovulation. This is simply not true.

Just because there is no discharge post ovulation, doesn’t mean there is no cervical fluid still present. The reason that most women experience no discharge after ovulation is because the fertile cervical mucus (which is a great host to protect sperm from the acidity of the vagina) is no longer needed and can go away; however it does not always go away. Some women may consistently have cervical fluid present with or without discharge.

While some women may experience no discharge after ovulation, others may naturally have creamy or sticky discharge for a few weeks after ovulation. In fact, some women experience creamier and thicker discharge after ovulation. The amount of discharge can change from cycle to cycle for a woman.

The amount and type of discharge depends on the woman and her body. The amount and consistency can be influenced by water intake, hormones, exercise, illness, medication, and diet.

How Much Discharge Is Normal?
Around 4 milliliters (or about a teaspoon) of discharge is normal per day. This can vary, and the bigger concern is usually the smell, consistency, and color of the discharge.
