During early pregnancy, cervical fluid may look thinner or more watery. If a person experiences implantation bleeding, the fluid may contain a little blood. However, other factors can also cause these changes, along with the other early signs of pregnancy.
Are clear watery discharge and white watery discharge normal during pregnancy? Yes, both clear watery discharge and white watery discharge are totally normal, and will likely get heavier as you get farther along in your pregnancy. It's fine to wear a panty liner or pad, if you'd like.
Every person is different, but many describe the feeling of implantation as a mild tingling, tightening or pulling in the uterus. Mild discomfort and a pink or brownish watery discharge are typical symptoms – if you experience implantation bleeding at all.
Implantation bleeding is never enough to fill a pad or tampon like a menstrual period. Color: Menstrual bleeding is typically a bright to dark red, and will look like what you typically experience during your monthly period. Implantation bleeding is a much lighter hue, typically a very light pink or light rust color.
It can happen when your period would've been due to arrive. The exact time varies, but most implantation bleeding occurs about six to 12 days after the egg is fertilized.
Watery vaginal discharge is typically normal and can be due to natural hormonal fluctuations that occur during reproductive processes in a woman's body, like ovulation and pregnancy, or during sexual arousal or menopause.
Watery Discharge Before Period
Sometimes, it may be slightly yellow, white, or clear. In some cases, watery discharge before a period can be thinner or thicker. Before getting her period, a woman's discharge may look pink or brown. This is expected, and it is called “spotting.”
Implantation is the first trigger for the body to start producing hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin, also known as the pregnancy hormone). Pregnancy tests (both home urine tests and blood tests) look for the presence of hCG to confirm a pregnancy. Implantation must occur for this hormone to be produced.
It's common for your mucus to be white, off-white or clear in color. At certain times, especially if implantation has occurred, your discharge might be tinged with pink or brown. If this happens regularly, talk to your healthcare provider as it could be spotting between periods or signs of a problem.
Again, some women have had positive urine tests as early as 2 to 3 days after implantation and others have had to wait up to a few weeks. It all depends on pregnancy hormone levels and how fast your body produces them.
Watery Discharge and Infections
If you have a clear watery discharge and cramps accompanied by a strong odor and itchiness, or a discharge that has a different color, then you might have an infection.
Clear and stretchy — This is “fertile” mucous and means you're ovulating. Clear and watery — This occurs at different times of your cycle and can be particularly heavy after exercising. Yellow or green — May indicate an infection, especially if it's thick or clumpy like cottage cheese or has a foul odor.
Vaginal discharge that is chunky, foamy or accompanied by itching and changes in color may mean you have an infection. Color: Vaginal discharge is healthy if it's clear, milky white or off-white. Dark yellow, brown, green or grey discharge may indicate an infection or other issue.
Watery discharge after ovulation, is a cervical mucus that is no longer clear and stretchy like a few days ago when your body was gearing up to release an egg. What you may see now is a cloudy and rather thick discharge. If you do not get pregnant that cycle, hormone levels drop and your period begins again.
Implantation consists of three stages: (a) the blastocyst contacts the implantation site of the endometrium (apposition); (b) trophoblast cells of the blastocyst attach to the receptive endometrial epithelium (adhesion); and (c) invasive trophoblast cells cross the endometrial epithelial basement membrane and invade ...
If pregnant, a urine pregnancy test is not expected to be positive until 3-4 days after the implantation (at the very earliest) is done, which is about 10 days after ovulation/fertilization and also 4 days before the next period.
During the first weeks of pregnancy, cervical mucus may change in color and consistency. You may notice stickier, white, or yellow mucus, known as leucorrhea. As your pregnancy progresses, your vaginal discharge may continue to change.
Missed period
The first sign of pregnancy is usually missing a period, about 2 weeks after you've conceived. This isn't always reliable and if your periods aren't regular you might not notice you've missed one. Some women have a bit of bleeding as the egg embeds. Many women also experience tender breasts.
During fertilization, the sperm and egg unite in one of the fallopian tubes to form a zygote. Then the zygote travels down the fallopian tube, where it becomes a morula. Once it reaches the uterus, the morula becomes a blastocyst. The blastocyst then burrows into the uterine lining — a process called implantation.
Before a period
In preparation for ovulation and during it, discharge tends to be stretchy and wet. The body produces more mucus at this stage than after it. Ovulation occurs between days 11 and 21 of the menstrual cycle.
