A little background to start, I just became a member on here but have lurked here often in the past. I love this forum in particular because everyone seems so nice and supportive, and Atomic is so knowledgeable and helpful. So I decided to sign up and post my question here. I signed up as "Trying for a Boy" because being over 35 and not having any children yet, what I'm really doing is just trying to increase my fertility overall ( I read on here that the boy sway is much better for improving overall fertility). Basically I would be happy with either gender but I really just want to make sure I get pregnant and have a happy, healthy baby.
My question is about EWCM. How do I know if I have enough to successfully become pregnant? I ask because I was thinking about trying Preseed or Conceive Plus this cycle, but read on here that it can do more harm than good if you already have adequate amounts. So I guess I'd like to determine how I know? I do get it starting 5 days before and have it every day through O (sometimes drying up on O day, sometimes not), which I guess is good for being over 35, but I don't know if it would be considered know large amount. I don't have gobs of it but I can always find some during those five days. It is stretchy and thin and clear. See, this will be my third month trying and we were unsuccessful the other two months, albeit the timing wasn't great (only O-4 on the first month and O-3 and O-2 the second month, he travels a lot for his job so we have to go with when he's here). Our timing should be great this cycle and I just want to do everything I can to make our odds great. So I guess I'm trying to figure out if I make enough EWCM naturally or if I need to try the Preseed or Conceive Plus.
Also to add to my confusion I seem to be one of those women who has "low ionic strength". I've tried measuring the ph with strips but the colors don't change and don't match up with any of the patterns on the guide of the bottle. So I don't even know if my ph is good. I do get in the alkaline range for the urine and saliva, so I think that probably means I have an alkaline body chemistry, and I wouldn't think I'd have alkaline body chemistry but then have acidic ewcm but then I don't really know.
Any guidance on how to tell if one makes enough good quality EWCM would be much appreciated.
Oh, one more thing, I've tried Evening Primrose Oil and green tea but both seemed to actually lessen the amount of EWCM I make so I don't take them anymore. I do use plain guafenesin though and that seems to have a good effect.
