Nazz here's info on the difference
Here are some ways to tell the difference between EWCM and semen:
EWCM is stretchy: EWCM is very elastic. If you put it between your fingers, it will stretch without breaking apart. Semen, on the other hand, doesnt stretch and will break apart if you put it between your fingers and try to stretch it.
EWCM is slippery and clear: While semen may feel slippery as well, it looks white and cloudy. Not clear, like EWCM. EWCM is more transparent and feels very slippery.
EWCM does not absorb easily: If you look at the toilet paper when you use the bathroom and notice mucous on the toilet paper, you can tell if it is actually mucous by waiting a few minutes. If it is semen it will quickly absorb into the toilet paper, whereas EWCM generally will sit on top of the toilet paper.
EWCM will form a ball in water: When you go to the bathroom, let the mucous drop into the toilet water. If it turns into a ball and sinks, it is most likely EWCM. If it dissolves into the water, it is most likely semen.
First of all, YAYYYY BELLA!!!!
I think our first tester getting a BFP is such a good omen!!! Hopefully we all keep up the trend!!!
CONGRATULATIONS BELLA!!! And have a safe, happy, healthy pregnancy!!!

I get the difference between ewcm and semen, but I was saying what about just normal/wet cm? Sometimes mine is a cloudy whitish and I can see how it could be mistaken for semen, but I guess I could just do the toilet paper thing you were just talking about and see. TMI: I have super stretchy ewcm right now my OH was like "OMG!" and put his finger on it and pulled it off with a long string stretching out lol sorry TTTMI but it reminded me of super cheesy grilled cheese, except it wasn't orange thank the lord.
I just took an Ov test and it was darker than it was the last few days, but not as dark as on Saturday... still not positive though I don't think... I really don't want to buy more lol, but I think I might cave in just bc I'm curious to see when exactly I do Ov and if I have already or not.
Yay BFPs make me so happy! GOOD OMEN!!!
