ewcm question?

Hi,

After dh being sick i decided not to bd this month. Will ttc in july, but having cm issues!

I usually get some ewcm every month, but this month so far i've had none. My cycle is around 27 days ...ish! The first day of cycle was 1st june and thought i would o some time round the 13th. I usually get quite a few days of ewcm before it changes back to opaque colour. It's now the 13th today and i've had no cm at all and today some slightly coloured yellowy opaque cm (sorry tmi).

Does this mean that the le diet is taking effect (i've now been on it since mid april) or is something else going on. I'm really scared i'm not ovulating as i've gone down to just under 7 1/2 stone. I am only 5foot, so don't think that's too low. I'm making sure i eat around 1500 cal a day and added sweet potato and occasionally chocolate to make sure my diet is relatively varied - don't know why i've equated eating chocolate with having a good diet, but just thought that if i sometimes have it i can't be blamed for losing too much weight!!

Has this happened to anyone else on the le diet or know what's going on? xx

Yes, that's happened to a lot of people on the LE Diet and that's GOOD! :)

Chocolate (milk and white) are allowed on LE Diet.

This month, in which I finally got my bfp, I had next to no ewcm. A little bit on cd10 and that was it (I oed on cd16). I am taking it as a good thing (hoping that it helped the "pinkness" of my sway).

I think i spoke too soon - got ewcm straight after. Not a huge amount, but was hoping it would go away!!! Is there anything i can specifically do on the diet to make it go away?!?! As i said dh wouldn't forgive me if i took medicine while ttc even though i was planning to.

Also, just weighed myself and have put on a couple of pounds (have lost 3/4 stone in total though) I'm not ttc til 1st week in july so should i just lose the weight again or is the fact that i've still lost quite a bit ok? I think it was because i started to eat a bit of chocolate and ice cream to bring my cal intake for the day up to 1500 as think i was only eating around 1200 before and scared it would harm my fertility. - Am also making sure i'm staying in the range for fat and protein amounts even with chocolate.

You need some EWCM in order to conceive a boy or a girl. I wouldn't worry about it.

I would lose the weight again just to be on the safe side.

I didn't have any ewcm last month and I'm attempting next week and have a question if I dont get any this month do I still take zyrtec or not?

Ok, i've now got an abundance of ewcm!!! Think i jinxed it!! If i'm sticking to the diet religiously do you know why this is happening? Also, is it the end of the world for a girl sway with ewcm if i've lost weight and sticking to diet, drinking diet coke etc or is it pivital to the sway?!?!

Because your body wants to have the absolute best chance of pregnancy and copious amounts of EWCM make it a lot easier to get pregnant. Your body doesn't "care" that you want a girl, it "knows" that it's supposed to make EWCM when ovulation rolls around and so it makes as much as it possibly can until it "decides" not to.

Remember, it's NOT eating/drinking/taking/doing X,Y, or Z that sways, it's what your body does in response to those things. Some of us, our bodies are just really good at shaking off the sway tactics.

I do not think it's at all make or break if you have some EWCM. I had some and I think I may have had more when I conceived DD than I did with DS4 (my pH with him never varied from 4.5 and I never saw a speck of CM and didn't even realize I had ovulated.) I think it helps, but we've had both pH opposites and CM opposites.

Thank you! Can i be a total pain in the butt as i am freaking out about my ewcm!!! I know that you need some in order to get pregnant in the first place. And i understand it's how my body reacts (or not) to what i do to it ie. diet, weight loss, but do you think that by my diet, weight loss and regular fr with dh i can still sway the odds in favour of getting a girl even with ewcm. I wish there was conclusive proof that benedryl doesn't affect baby as would definitely try it and could show my dh!!

Thank you i'm sure i'm wearing thin with constant questions!
