Could Thick White Cervical Mucus Be A Sign Of Pregnancy?

i came off the pill on the 28th April and i am trying to concieve. I have had the clear cervical mucus and today i have thick white cervical mucus...firstly, does that mean i am already ovulating because i heard it can take a long time for some women. also could i be pregnant? i have light abdominal cramping (probably from a lot of intercourse though) also a bubbling sensation also in my lower abdomen. (not gas)

Hello,
I have gone through your query and would like to offer my opinion. During ovulation, the cervical mucus is thin and profuse to allow easy ascent of sperm. Thick white discharge is suggestive of estrogen secretion. Return of ovulation can take a couple of months after stopping the pill. Cramping is not a specific sign of pregnancy. It can be premenstrual also. Please get further help from your health care provider. Hope this helps.
