A member asked:

I know when i ovulate. however a few days before my period i tend to have a blob of cm. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. William Schmidt answered

Its natural: Right at the time of ovulation the cervical mucus becomes very thin which makes it easier for sperm to migrate up the vagina. Its totally normal

I'm sexually active and I started spotting light pink CM 10 days after my period ended. I also believe that I ovulate early based on what my app says. What could be the reason for this because I don't usually spot at all?
