Question: Hi there. I recently stopped my birth control after taking it for 10 years in order to try to get pregnant. The first day of my last period was on 10/17. I should have started my new pack of birth control on 10/19. I have been having bloating, gas, slight mood swings, and cramps in my lower abd. I have taken two ovulation tests and both are negative. I have kept track of my temperatures (basal) and have not noticed any spikes. however, this is my first month checking them. I am taking Prenatals right now, so that may be what is causing the gas. I noticed tonight that I have, pardon the graphic description, snot like mucus with a bloody tinge. Am I ovulating already?! Am I at a good place to get pregnant now? According to my period app, my peak ovulation day is 10/31. I have no other health conditions going on at this time. What is this thick mucus? I have not been intimate in a few days so there should be no trauma. My periods have always came on time and have been normal, even before birth control. I have never had children and am in a monogamous relationship

There is no odor, itching or signs of infection with it. It looks like when you crack open a egg and the white of it is still cold as you separate it from the yolk. No fevers or malaise either. The picture I sent is the closest thing I could find that looked like it, except mine was less yellow.
