I just don't know if my "watery" cm is true watery...like watery like it needs to be. If i'm wrong thinking mine is watery (just wet feeling, no clumps or anything..no dripping)then I could be logging it wrong. I hope you're right and it comes soon!

If it's clear it's watery. If you take your finger out and it dries in about 2 seconds that's just normal dry. The month I preggoed my eggo I just had watery. You may not O this month though and your cycle may be wonky so try not to get your hopes up too much.

 

[missjenn]

hmmm...okay...well I think I will change my chart for today from watery to dry. Yesterday I would say it was more clear and wet..I did what you said and i'd say it is probably dry .

 

[missjenn]

This may sound like a silly question but I find myself checking my CM often...can this actually remove sperm that could be hanging around waiting?

 

[jme84]

I don't thinks so the sperm that are still alive would be inside your cervix hopefully way up in your tubes.

 

[sherylb]

Agreed. I wouldn't check it after . Then anything you find would not be accurate anyway b/c it's not your fluids.

 

[missjenn]

I find when I check it today my fingers are wet but there is always a creamy like lotion under my finger nail. Can it be watery and creamy?

If I remember correctly you are supposed to chart the more fertile of the two when it's mixed. So that would be W.

Ok, for anyone still following the thread. Got af 10 months after last depo shot and am coming up on having af for the third time. As far as i can tell, i am having normal length cycles but i dont think i am ovulating. Anyone else get af back after depo but have trouble ovulating for awhile?

 

[jme84]

My af came back about 10 months after stopping depo and was very irregular. After I year of being of it I went to doc and was not o ing. He priscribed me clomid and provera I still did not o until about the 3rd month on clomid.

JME what is your new date? Congrats!!

Thanks for responding. I think I will chart for a 3rd cycle and then If I still feel like I am not O I will go see MD. I dont think I could wait any longer than that! Thankfully, my NP already told me they would help me with Clomid and TTC if things didnt work out on their own, so at least I dont have to worry about being rejected by them and told to wait longer!

 

[sherylb]

That's great that they told you it won't be a problem. I was thinking in the back of my head I wasn't sure if they would help.

Hi guys
I have not been here in a while but wanted to post as I have some questions.

I think I O'd. I am coming off depo, last injection was last December 2011 - and I have been waiting for somethign to happen, either O or AF.

Anyway< I have been charting forever - im on cd125! and I had a rise in temps that lasted 9 days, then I had some spotting for 2-3 days and I think this was my first AF, It was NOT full flo and I only had to wear a panty liner each day but I really think it was my first AF, now my temps are down again........

So, for those whose cycles are finally normal after depo, what was your first period like after depo? could this spotting I had for 3 days have been my first AF?

 

[grace10209]

[sherylb]

It's been so long I don't remember. Sorry. I think mine were all normal.

This post will prob be filled with TMI, but hopefully it will help! As of yesterday, I am on Cycle #3 after Depo. I finally feel like this is a true normal cycle. The first was five days, but like you I really only had blood when I would wipe, never had to change a liner due to it being dirty. Also, blood was really dark and wasnt fresh (bright red) at all. Second cycle was better, mix between fresh and old, heavier flow, but only three days. Now on third cycle and started yesterday. Bright red spotting that turned into normal red flow. I actually have red toilet water after I pee too due to the flow, which I never had in Cycle 1 or 2. Also have had to change liners this cycle.

I thought that since I o'd and got AF back, that things would be normal right away, but until I got AF this time, I hadnt realized that things were off. This cycle was a flashback to all my pre-depo cycles and I did a little happy dance in my head when I realized that. Hopefully this month we can gt a BFP! Hopefully it only takes a cycle or two for you to get back to normal! Good luck!
