Is amniotic fluid sticky?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

Amniotic fluid shouldn't have a sticky consistency. If you notice something sticky or a thick whitish residue in your underwear, it's unlikely to be your waters. It is more likely to be heavy vaginal discharge or signs of your mucus plug.

I'm worried because I took Deviry 10mg, two tablets for 5 days from January 24th to 28th, and now it's been 11 days and I still haven't gotten my period. I have PCOD and my TSH level is 2.7. Could there be something wrong, or is there any reason it's taking so long?

I'm really concerned about my internal os being open in a U shape as shown in my anomaly scan. The doctors mentioned that getting a cervical stitch might be risky because the sac is already in the opening. Do you think that this opening could naturally close if I stick to bed rest for a few days? Its been stressing me out, and I would really appreciate some advice on what I should do next.

yes

I'm a little worried because for the past 23 months, my periods havent been normal. There's only a tiny bit of bleeding, not the usual red blood, and it only lasts for a couple of days. Plus, I'm not experiencing the stomach aches that I used to get. Could this be related to PCOD or something to do with infertility?

Irregular periods, light bleeding, and reduced stomach cramps can be symptoms of various conditions, including Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) or Polycystic Ovary Disease (PCOD). These hormonal disorders can disrupt ovulation, leading to irregular periods, infertility, and other symptoms like acne, excess hair growth, and weight gain. Other possible causes include hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or stress. It's essential to consult a healthcare provider or gynecologist for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan, especially if you're concerned about infertility or other related health issues.
