no EWCM!!! help...

[wishbaby3]

question..... Ive never gotten stretchy cm till after ive OVed before hand its kinda stretchy (just a tad) and a little cloudy, but after i OV it gets a bit stretchier (about 4 days after a pos opk) but still not by much...

Any ways to help this? we get paid on thursday, but i dont know if ill OV by then, so cheap ideas here as well please! on thursday im going to get preseed and instead cups... (will use these during the day, since hubby doesnt always get home at a decent time so well be baby dancing before he goes to work,lol)

Sorry i know, TMI

i have that issue sometimes too. I use preseed even if i have EWCM. i like it. i have heard of ppl using (and some drs actually recommend) simply using egg whites. ive personally never used it. sounds a little strange to me but if u wanna give it a go power to ya! so try one of these things during OV, cuz like i said i have that issue too and what good is ewcm AFTER ov?! lol

Have you tried evening primrose oil (EPO), it helps increase CM but can only be taken from first day of AF to OV because it can cause uterine contractions. I started taking that and started drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day. I went from NO EWCM at all to a lot in this cycle but I think it was mostly due to the abundance of water I've been drinking.

I've also heard of women taking robitussin or mucinex to increase CM. Don't know much about those methods though.

It does sound strange, doesn't it? Only thing is, it's the same eggwhite we produce. That's why the docs recommend it as the most natural solution.

Btw do you scrape, or do you just observe cm in your panties? If the latter, keep in mind that the ewcm may well be there but you don't get to see it.

They also say grapefruit juice helps. I've tried that but haven't noticed too much of a difference tbh. Other ladies have though.

Most important: drink water. Water, water, water. That's the most natural ewcm-maker.

Finally. Even if you don't get ewcm, don't stress too much about it. All cm prior and during ovulation is fertile. I've read women have gotten preggers only with the lotiony cm.

That makes sence that its the same eggwhite, lol i do scrape, and all i ever get up till about 3-4 days after Ov is the lotiony kind....

ill research how to use the eggwhites thing, sound a bit weird though lol
