Anyone got a BFP without EWCM??

[Titi]

Hello,

It seems like the EWCM is a HUGE part of the tracking and fertility thing, but I just seem to go from creamy to watery to creamy. Everything else seems normal and it appears based on OPK and temps that I am ovulating. Was wondering if this is why I haven't gotten pregnant yet after 10 cycles?

Anyone in the same situation get pregnant anyway? Thanks for the info!

Looking at fertility friend charts I have seen plenty that list "wet" CM as being their most fertile and these have gone on to become BFP charts. So, bottom line, Egg white is preferable but not essential. Try grapefruit juice....great for fertile CM!!

I didn't have huge amounts of EWCM. Just a little bit (it wasn't there everytime I wiped, and when it was there it would only stretch 1.5 inches max). I wasn't impressed with the amount and was about to use cough medicine this cycle to thicken it and get more x

i didnt get ewcm either.

but i used EPO last month and got a couple of days of it. not a lot mind, but dont know if that was it but it did the trick!

The month i got pregnant i just started charting and i honestly thought i hadn't ovulated because i didnt really have much CM at all! I was pretty dry most of the month and all my OPK's kept coming back negative... so don't give up hope and just BD, BD, BD regardless of CM!

 

[Titi]

Wow thanks everyone! Lena you might have answered another question I was about to ask, so thanks! And that was that now at 8dpo even creamy cm is gone (dry) and I was afraid that meant I was out this month.........so heres to still hoping!

Crossroads-this was the first time I tried Robitusson with Guafineson (sic) for my entire fertile period. If it did anything it made it more watery than thick-but we'll see if did the trick.

I have not tried EPO or grapefruit juice and both are on my list to get next month but really hoping I wont have to-6 days til AF.

I don't get any ewcm as a rule, but I haven't been pregnant yet either. I've been using epo, grapefruit juice and cough syrup for a few months now and I haven't noticed a difference. If I didn't get pregnant this cycle I'm gonna try pre-seed next one. Good luck.

I never really noticed this and with my first and 3rd baby it took me ages to concieve (2yrs with ryan and 15months with caleb) I heard that drinking extra water can help. But i still got pregnant without really noticing it. Good luck hun.

Thank you for the post. You are giving me hope that it could just possibly take longer and maybe nothing wrong. Did you end up doing anything with any of your births that you thought might have increased your chances? Thanks again!

i didnt have any ewcm really, the only sign i had that i was ovulating was sore ovaries. could never get a positive on OPKs either

i just made sure we bd'd every day-every other day between cycle day 10 to 20

best of luck to you x

I don't get EWCM and I have had one BFP. It was the first month we used preseed lubricant, so that may have helped. That pregnancy ended with an early m/c, and I haven't gotten pregnant again. I think the reason for my lack of EWCM is a hormone imbalance that also keeps me from ovulating regularly, so I don't know if your situation is the same.

I dont get ewcm at all, except when I was on bc, and it goes awol when Im not on it! I have had 4 pregnancies that I know of, 2 healthy children asleep in their beds as I type!

Oh that makes me feel tons better cos I used OPKs and never got a single positive around the time I was meant to be ovulating. Made me worry I wasnt even ovulating!

hey...I never got too much ewcm before I got pregnant, and I used preseed the month I got my BFP! I would really recommend it for women with a lack of ewcm.
Good luck!!! oxoxox

i didnt get ewcm either, tmi but i get very watery wet not stretchy at all cm but not ewcm. so I am glad you asked this question, good to hear others have gotten pg without it.

I never noticed cm at all with other pregnancies so I was not sure if I had it or not.

 

[Titi]

Thanks all. I have just bought some preseed off ebay for $9.99 USD.

Also going to try the grapefruit juice but still haven't read if it matters if it is fresh or concentrate or if grapefruits are okay instead. I was going to buy some fresh squeezed today (live in Florida!) but I thought I saw somewhere it had to be 100% concentrate.

Hello-Bumping this up as I am approaching OV again and have been using EPO and grapefruit since CD2 and still EWCM is a no show and I hardly even have any of the other stuff. Thanks

You need to use 100% freshly squeezed juice (preferably pink grapefruit) either carton or whole grapefruit- but not concentrate coz this contains other stuff as well as a ton of sugar which is not good for ttc.

Good luck and I hope you get your bfp soon.
