I have tried preseed, zestica and also conceive plus and still no BFP. Just wanted to warn you though... it may just be me that's a bit weird, but I am quite sensitive 'down there' in that things like soaps, bubble baths etc upset the balance of things and cause me to get BV. Well we started using conceive plus about three months ago and after using it a few times I noticed symptoms of BV reoccuring. I have been to docs about it and they've confirmed its not a sexually transmitted infection, but is just something upsetting my PH. All I can think of is that its the conceive plus, so if anyone uses it you might want to be careful and just use a bit, especially if you are particularly sensitive down there. This probably won't apply to most people, but thought I'd share my experience just in case. xx

I was diagnosed with PCOS a few years ago but it seems to have got a lot better since I lost some weight. I'm not sure how much it is affecting me now as I appear to be ovulating.

I think as for cm, I'm no expert, but basically, if it looks like egg white, I consider it fertile. I get the white creamy stuff too. But that is not stretchy in my case. With ewcm, you should be able to stretch it between your fingers for say a few cm at least. I know this is way TMI and really quite euck, so sorry, but it's the only way for me to describe what I see. Basically, it really does look in my case, like egg white - except no yolk in the middle. I would worry if I saw that !!

I don't know how clomid affects all the above (charting, etc), but of couse I know it dries up ewcm.
