Trying For a Baby II

MadMac_2

It is only natural to feel jealous confuzzled, we are all guilty of that! Don't beat yourself up about it though, just come on here and share with us all - we'll agree and you'll (hopefully) feel less alone. I find that's the biggest issue, I feel left out when I find someone else is PG and amazingly lonely and low - can't say it has gotten any easier, but hey ho! xx

Moneyangel, your cervical fluid goes from dry - sticky/clear - creamy (thicker in colour, not lumpy!) - eggwhite (EWCM)

As you approach OV you tend to get wetter, your peak fertility day is the last slippery cervical fluid which normally feels like eggwhite in that it is slippery, clear and/or stretchy and tends to be like raw eggwhite, sort of white or creamy in colour and you can stretch it between two fingers.

I can't remember who posted some more graphical pictures of CM on here a while back, but I'm sure they will point you in the right direction soon.

Well I gave in and tested early! 10 dpo today so going on past few months lp af due tomorrow. Anyway BFN so looks like I'll wait until AF arrives and on to next month. Obviously June's horoscopes for capricorn weren't meant for DH and I. So looks like I won't be joining you Gymfriend.

Hi guys,

Whats the difference between EWCM, Creamy, Watery/clear, Sticky?

I imagine creamy to be like cottage cheese? then EWCM...do they mean before or after cooking? lol. If before, then what is the difference between that and watery/clear?? So confusing.

Thanks.

Everyone is different but my cm is as follows:
EWCM-clear, slippy, makes a string between finger and thumb when pulled apart
Creamy-like hand lotion but slightly runnier, not stretchy
Watery-slippy, clear does not stretch between finger and thumb pulled apart
Sticky-kinda like little lumpy white bits, not very slippy/strectchy and quite dry

Thanks for the info :-).....I used to have a lot of cm all through the month, but for the past few months only have any at all for a few days in the month. I know I am close to ov (expect it around Fri/Sat/Sun)....and only started to get cm last weekend. It was creamy for 3 or 4 days but has just gone clear/watery in last couple of days. Is this right? Should i be looking for it to get stretchy over next couple of days then?

Confuzzled - I feel the same way, and it feels like everyone's getting pregnant but me (logically I know that's not the case, but it's how I feel).
Becs, I'm sorry it's not good news...

Lots of hugs to everyone who is feeling down.

As my nan once said to me 'What's meant for you won't go past you' we must all keep positive.

Thought I better let you know Boots have a BOGOF offer on some pregnancy tests and ovulation tests.

Ah sorry becs ((((hugs)))) u never know maybe day or so early to test?
Moneyangel i dont always get EWCM but normally watery, so if i were u id get bd'ing now to be on safe (if not already)...

Got a bit of tummy ache earlier and thought o o hear she comes but has gone off again now so holding out till predicted af day sun and maybe il test after that, not sure i can hold off till thurs!! that would make me 16DPO

Hi everyone.....

I'm sorry to hear a lot of you are feeling down :grouphug: I know how hard it can be to stay positive about things. It's really good you have this forum to help you - there are so many nice people on here

CD9 for me and..........we're "trying" :j DH has no clue about fertility though - for example, last night: "I think that was the pregnancy shot!!" :rotfl::rotfl: "Erm, too early still, maybe in 3-4 weeks" "WHHHHHAAAAT!?!?" :rotfl: bless
