Dry CM, trying everything, need advice...

[ohmyitschelsi]

OK so I started taking mucinex tablets...and then a few days later had odd discharge so made a appointment with doctor, because I thought I had BV again, but everything came back normal, I have been drinking SOOO much water everday, grapefruit juice (which is NASTY) ...and doing everything but I am SOOOO dry down there...so when we BD afterwards it burns so bad, and we use preseed everytime..I am just confused...I want to buy FertileCM but I dont think I'll get it in time for ovulation...ugh

Keep using the preseed. I'm sure the doc can prescribe something for dry CM> It's probably a result of the mucinex. I always had great CM until I started Femara. I have my next review March (I will be pregnant by then) if its still a problem then I know he will and can prescribe something for it.x

Conceive plus is good too!!

I haven't tried it, but many girls swear that taking Robutussin around ovulation helped their cm. I'd try that and continue using pre-seed/conceive plus. You seem to be doing everything else I can think of.

 

[ohmyitschelsi]

I take to robitussin everyday, I don't know why everything is being so strange this month blahhh

 

[dinky]

I had no problems when using pre seed infact it helped a lot and made sex enjoyable! I didn't fall pregnant using it tho, maybe your not using enough x

I tried green tea, robittussin, mucinex, 2-3 litres of water, fertile cm and so on and none gave me EWCM, I just don't have any - the only time I've had any was right after my hysteroscopy.....oh and years ago in my 20's when I had so much it got on my nerves

I've given in and just use pre seed or conceive plus now.

I have NEVER had CM before, except like when I was 18 and my body was normal and doing normal things, I don't understand why just this month its like a freakin desert...I vent to much...haha, thanks ladies!

 

[wonderstars]

And I just got the image of hallucinating about water in the desert. Swim for the water boys, swim for the water. Damn, sorry, still a desert. I seriously need sleep.

I've heard some women mention evening primrose oil?

I've been taking Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) for the last few cycles and think it's helping a little. It takes a while to start working, I'd say a good three cycles. Before the MC I used to have quite a lot of EWCM and lots of CM in general. Since that event, though, I've got much less EWCM. Still lots of creamy CM during the rest of my cycle, but not the dollops of EWCM I was used to. EPO has increased the EWCM somewhat and I've noticed more watery CM too.

OH is *very* sensitive so we HAVE to use lube when DTD (otherwise it just doesn't happen, it hurts too much for him...) and have been using special extra slippy stuff on prescription for the last year or so. It's just run out so we're trying Conceive Plus but I'm worried it's not going to be...er...lubey...enough. We'll see. I certainly hope it will, at that price!!!

EPO worked wonders for me - I had virtually none for the past year, even with TCM. One month of EPO and I had EWCM for the first time ever. Worth a shot! Just make sure you stop taking it after you ovulate, as I think it can cause uterine contractions which may impact implantation if you're lucky enough.
