CM question

[Urchin]

It's me

Does your CM go EW just BEFORE OV or during and after you OV?

I've had EWCM for a day or so, not sure if I am OVing or not yet?

I'm not seriously TTC, I'm just trying to look at dates and stuff to get a good idea when to TTC later.

Only my first month TTC so not 100% sure myself but I've got a feeling that it's just before you OV so it means your fertile now.

I was reading somewhere that it goes like that when you're fertile to give the little spermies a smooth ride!

i think its just before.

Hey Urchin it is just before you Ov and you'll know when you have as you'll either dry up of it will go sort of white and sticky. Make the most of any ewcm you get as this is the stuff spermies can really swim in well. So use it to get them up and waiting in your fallopian (sp?) tubes to wait for the egg.

Very good luck and nice to see you in ttc.

Hiya Urchin

Your CM will turn to EWCM just before and during Ovulation. Your CM will dry up the day after ovulation. Typically you will get somewhere between 1-5 days of EWCM and are fertile every day that you have it, as we are fertile just before and during ovulation.

Here you go, heres some info on CM I always found useful:-

Dry or Light Moisture - INFERTILE
After menstruation for a period of 3 - 5 days you may experience no fluid at all or a small amount of moisture. Color of any existing fluid is clear or slightly white but will dry immediately on your fingertips. Overall sensation is not wet at this time.

Sticky or Gummy - INFERTILE
Cervical Fluid then changes to feeling sticky for a period of 2 - 3 days. When rubbed between your fingertips it may give a small amount of resistance, feels slightly gummy or may even crumble. The color will range from clear to white and although you may feel a small amount of moisture the fluid is still dry and does not feel wet at this time.

Creamy, Milky, Lotion Like - FERTILE
Cervical fluid now becomes much more abundant and will feel wet from 2 - 4 days. It can appear either thick and creamy or like hand lotion and will form peaks in your fingertips when pulled apart or can be thinner and look milky. Color of the fluid is white or yellow and the overall vaginal sensation is wet.

Eggwhite Cervical Fluid - VERY FERTILE
Cervical fluid now reaches its most fertile stage for 1 - 5 days. The fluid will look and have the consistency of eggwhites. It is slippery to the touch and if pulled between the fingertips will stretch 1 - 10 inches! The color can be clear or iridescent and the overall sensation is extremely wet.

Dry, Moist or Sticky - INFERTILE
Cervical fluid will now change drastically due to the drop in estrogen and the surge of progesterone following ovulation. It can be dry, watery, moist or sticky and will remain in that stage until the end of your monthly cycle - which is the day before your menstrual period begins. Any fluid at all will dry up quickly upon your fingertips, can range from no color to white and your overall vaginal sensation will be dry at this time.

Good Luck!
