Question

CM... so confused!


I checked my CM today to enter it into FF. It's really stringy and goopy like. (sorry TMI) not watery at all or anything. Would you consider that as EWCM?? I just started checking CM and temping this cycle so I have no idea what it looks like. PLEASE HELP!

Yeah Malingo's right it sounds like ewcm if its all stringy i think sometimes mine can get more watery a couple of days after but the stringy stuff is what youre looking for. Mine is slightly different every cycle to be honest but the stringy bit is what to look for. Good luck x

hey chick, wheres your chart so i can have a look ?
Its ok , i just found it. Well im no expert as only been doing mine this cycle but my temp went up by 0.2 and 0.5 degrees celsius but didnt get the peak til 2 days after ov so youre still 2 days before ov and yours is going up so id say youre looking good to me, i just converted your chart to celsious and it looks similar to mine. The day i got + on my ovulation kit was the day my temp started to rise by 0.2 and then the next day it went a bit higher and the following couple of days it went higher again. Does that make sense?? Get baby dancing girl!!!
Hope that helps x

That's the thing, since temps are a secondary indicator of fertility (meaning you don't know O happened until it ALREADY HAPPENED), you can't use temps to predict the oncoming O.

That's what the CM is for. CM is a primary indicator of fertility...(meaning it can be used to predict your fertile window.)

My first advice is to quit getting worried! You'll throw your cycle off if you stress too much about this. How many times have we all heard of women who tried and tried, and once they just relaxed, enjoyed thier relationship with their hubby and enjoyed 'practicing' that's when they finally fell pregnant.

My second piece of advice, is to get the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility. I'm sure a lot of libraries have it too. This will tell you all kinds of good info about CM, what to look for, how to guage it, etc.

Good luck!

It could be EWCM.I read on the computer that you see the stringy EWCM when you are most fertile.You can search for ovulation signs on google for more info.Good luck!
