EWCM

[prayingforason]

My cycle is usually very regular - 28 days. Last month I began monitoring my cervix and noticed the EWCM around day 14. This month I have nada. I am trying to conceive a boy... should I avoid the BD this month and hope for more EWCM next month?

This is so confusing. How do I increase my EWCM? I have been taking EPO, should I stop?

So confusing!

Thank you

EPO dried me out so I tried fertile cm and that seemed to help a little but I also took mucinex and used preseed and I am having a boy

Some people find that EPO dries them out while others get tons of CM with it. Are you taking fish oil too? You need to take BOTH EPO (af-O only) and then fish oil all month for your health and also for best results with your sway.

I also recommend the Robitussin/Mucinex that dloui suggest and you can read more about that here: http://genderdreaming.com/forum/ttc-boy-best-practices/1112-using-robitussin-ttc-boy.html

EPO definitely dried me up --Fertile CM worked much better for me, especially after 2months of taking it. I plan on using Robitussin the week of O as well. Good luck and blue dust to you!

some people dry up on Fertile CM though too! It's something to be aware of and make sure that if it happens to you, you are ready to drop the EPO or the FCM and try the other options!

yes, drink lots of water then too. fish oil may help too, if you dont get enough natural ewcm try pre seed.

I do get natural ewcm.. Before swaying i get alot coming out! Sorry tmi.. Should i still take Robitussin/Mucinex*? Ive bought preseed and now will take the pregnacare fish oil tablets

WHEW!
I feel a little bit better after reading this.... I usually have a fair amount of ewcm but this time I have had almost none. I suspected the Fertile CM so I stopped taking it two days ago.

I took mucinex yesterday twice and still had scant amounts of ewcm.

My cycle has been bonkers this months since I added in Fertile CM and fish oil. I am thinking outloud that EPO may be better for me because I took it when I got prego in Nov and my cycle was fairly predictable.

My cervix is open and I had some ewcm so we used a glob of pre-seed and DTD last night. I am going to just keep DTD every night until my cervix closes and I don't have anymore ewcm. Not sure what else to do...OPK are not showing anything either:think:

I dont think you need anything else if you have enough natural ewcm.

I think that is all you can do, good luck!

Thanks! I have to add, when I got the Fertile CM in the mail it came with a small pack of baby dust. It was cute, glitter in the shape of stars, moons, little "BABY" glitters in both blue and pink....I took out all the pink, don't need anymore of that!!

Yes that should be the beginning of your fertile window, you may also notice your cervix position change to High Soft Open, you should DTD when you notice these changes, good luck!

You just insert your finger and feel for it, i think while you are in the shower is a convienient time to do it, even squatting makes it a bit easier to reach, you will get to feel the difference through out the cycle, when you are fertile the tip of your finger will actually dip into it just a tiny bit.
