Where is the EWCM?!?!?!

[suzan]

I haven't seen any!! neither CM!!!
I always check it and have always got a lot!!! Why haven't I seen any this cycle?

I am ovulating tomorrow (14CD)... It's frustrating!!!!!!!!!
I drink tons of water.. I have always drank tons.. so that should help right?? then why isn't??

Seems like were in the same boat this month, i have CM but no OV, Did test last night and this morning and got a big ZERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But OPK had one dark line and one supper faint as in very faint other line and im on CD14 today.

It could be that your cycle is a little out this month and you'll ovulate a bit later or the CM just won't show up like normal. Have you been ill or stressed? Sometimes these things just seem to happen for no apparent reason.

I read somewhere that drinking grapefruit juice actually makes you have more ewcm......it helped my friend too who never got much ewcm....maybe try that if you dont get your BFP this month.....or preseed

xxxx good luck hun xxx

I also just found out from Arcanegirl's thread that Evening Primrose Oil from CD1 to O helps as well... Maybe have a look at that thread.

Some women can have lots of CM but its right inside so it appears like they dont have much at all.

i can't seem to distinguish between creamy and watery (sorry tmi) after the sticky stage it al seems same to me till sticky again. I'm just going by temps really until i start with my cbfm next month cos i really have no idea about cm

Hi, I found this site and it has amoung other stuff, a nice description of each of the categories of CM. It's certainly helped me to understand the CM stages.

https://www.gettingpregnant.co.uk/naturalfertilitymanagement.htm

Basically:

Sticky: As your period ends you'll priduce no fluid, or fluid that is dry and sticky. The vagina feels dry unless sexually stimulated and sperm cannot survive.

Wet & Creamy: As oestrogen levels increase you'll notice a wet or watery feeling and an increase in fluid which is slippery when rubbed between the fingers. May take some time to dry and feels creamy, almost like lotion. This is fertile quality, sperm can survive in it and you should BD every other day when you have it. May last several days

Egg White: At peak fertility when the egg is about to be released CM likely to reach consistency remarkarably similar to egg whites. Its slippery and can reach an amazingly long way when stretched between the fingers. Not all women get this - some do not progress beyond wet and that should not affect your ability to concieve. Others may have it for just a few hours for tp to 3 days.

Sticky: after ovulation you will return to sticky or no fluid.

If you consistently find it hard to detect the changes you may not be ovulating and should visit your GP.

I haven't had/seen hardly any cm this cycle either Suzan Don't worry though...everyone is right, just because you don't see it, doesn't mean it isn't there and your not Oing. <~~ I need to take my own advice, I have been really down this cycle...well if I am on a new cycle...ARGH.

Thanks everyone.!

I highly doubt I am ovulating this cycle.. sh*T!!!!! I always ovulate I say this bec I always feel ovulation cramps.. why there is any this cycle??

Oh well.. let it be the way it is meant to.. bad luck
