EWCM on day 6 of stims

[amanda1235]

I'm on day 6 of stims, bravelle and menopur, just started orgalutran this morning. Sorry if tmi, but just went to the bathroom and got a huge glob of ewcm, is this normal? IVF newbie here.

Thanks!

Hi! This sounds about right. As your follicles grow, your estrogen level will increase, and more estrogen means more ewcm. Think of a natural cycle when your ewcm increases near ovulation--same thing here: eggs growing=more estrogen=more mucus. Don't be afraid to ask your nurse next time you see her--sometimes a little reassurance goes a long way. Hope this helps.

Thanks! I know that usually happens during my cycle right before ovulation, do got worried for a minute that I'd ovulate too early.
Thanks for the reassurance!

They should be watching your LH level--as long as it doesn't surge, you won't ovulate early.

I had so much EWCM right the way through stimming, more than I ever had on any natural cycle so it all sounds completely normal to me!
