Hi ladies

I have been on the LE for roughly 3 weeks and ive had CM for a few days and negative OPK.
Yesterday afternoon however, i had EWCM and also a +OPK. Im not ttc at the moment, just paying attention to my cycles. BUT i have a concern for the EWCM with a positive OPK because isnt the EWCM more boy friendly??
Usually i just have transparant/creamy CM with a +OPK and i only get EWCM a day AFTER a +OPK and thereafter almost immediately dry.. Im considering DTD on a +OPK but dont want to if we should be avoiding EWCM.. anyone had similar situation or have some input/advise/feedback

Thanks

That's very normal (the day I had the most EWCM this cycle was the day I got my first very dark OPK), and keep in mind your CM type, amount, and pattern can vary widely from cycle to cycle. I wouldn't worry about having EWCM unless you have a LOT while TTC/about to attempt, in which case you can take antihistamines. Longer on the diet may solve the problem for you though.

If you're interested, click on my chart in my signature and you can see how much my CM varies. I've been swaying since Nov 2013, excluding breaks from May-August.

Thanks maiden

I dont have very much tbh. Even my EWCM is a once off and usually the day after a +OPK.. I just notice the diffs in consistency from CM to EWCM..

PS - i sent you a PM a short while ago x

I hope you keep that bit of EWCM then! Thanks for the heads up about the pm.

you can't avoid EWCM. You need it to get pregnant. Don't over think this, less may sway pink but you do need SOME.

:agree: I also have wild fluctuations in EWCM. I saw some the cycle I got my DD and NONE the cycle I got my DS 4 and I was checking maniacaly (was on IG then) 2-3 times a day for months. :)
