CM help
Hey eveyone,
I realise I'm obsessing a bit over ovulating etc but I'd like some more advice please!
Ive read a lot on cm (as you do..) and I'm getting concerned that at cd13 my cm looks nothing like fertile cm, there's not a lot and it's not stretchy or opaque.
How long prior to ovulating can you expect to see changes?
Apologies again for yet another question... I realise I'm asking far too many for someone who has just started ttc!
K xx

I get a gradual change over about three days so by the 3rd or 4th day of getting a lot of cm it then becomes stretchy and opaque. I also do temps so this helps confirm things.
How long are your cycles normally? xx
Most of the women I've talked to about it only see it change the day before or even the actual day of OV.
For me, it never changed, I hardly ever got EWCM at all, so resorted to preseed instead. Try not to worry too much yet, you mightn't ov for a week or so yet, so you've plenty of time to see your CM change. Wishing you lots of luck xx
Is it possible to get pg without the ewcm then? I assumed it wasn't to be honest. I have had ewcm in the past I just didn't think to track it at all.
This ttc stuff isn't half stressful!
Thank you for your help so far x

Yes, I'm proof that it's possible to get PG without EWCM although I did use preseed to help me along xx
I don't seem to have any at ovulation though.
I think i'm a bit strange?!?!?! xx
1. Cervical Mucus Changes
2. Increased Sexual Desire
3. Body Basal Temperature Changes
4. Changes in Cervical Position
5. Breast Tenderness
6. Positive Result on an Ovulation Predictor Test
7. Ovulation Pain (Mittelschmerz)
8. Headaches
I think there are some other symptoms too, everyone is different obvously, but hope this helps a bit : )

MrsKP, hope you get your smiley face, I don't use the CBFM, just cheap ov sticks I bought online, but i have a 28 day cycle like you and ov'd on CD15.
Good luck xx
From what I've read about CM - it can vary between ladies - some get lots and some a little and sometimes you have to go and 'search' for it. Also it can vary from month to month - so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Last month I go EWCM on the positive day of my OPK - which is supposedly 24-48 hours before you ovulate, but nothing the next 2 days when I supposedly ovulated. I'm wondering if my body was telling me to bd then and not wait - wish I'd listened!!!
Good luck everyone
