That's great! I have heard a lot of people having good results from the Fertile CM as well.

Not until June :( I've got one more month. At least I know I'll be ready. My cm is the #1 thing I was trying to accomplish and I was successful :D

So you conceived a boy WITHOUT ewcm?! That's so awesome!!! I'm very glad to hear that, it eases my worries some. Congrats! I'm currently CD 13 and I've had +opks on CD12&13. Still waiting for the ewcm to show up. Hope it does!

How many days do you get + opks for? x

Are you using preseed at all?
June 23rd, 2011, 12:20 PM
Alexis2007

Nope, didn't buy any Preseed as I was expecting ewcm as I got last cycle. I had 2 days of +opks on CD12 and CD13. I got a -opk today on CD14. Played around with some fake temps on FF and it gave me CH's for CD12.

You always have the possibility of doing Robitussin or even using natural egg white if you are in a pinch.

I did use the Robitussin but since I O'ed early I didn't start it early enough. Started it on CD 10 and I O'ed either CD 12 or CD 13. I'm kinda uneasy about the ew though lol.

Atomic, do you think it would be OK to use fresh EW on room temp of course without the whole procedure in glass bowl in the fridge bla, bla, bla....?

FWIW ZB I remember several ladies did that with the EW!

Thanks begonia! Do you remember did they do it with fresh EW or with the whole procedure ( wash eggs, put them in the fridge in non-plastic bowl for a week, let them sit on the counter for 2 hours or so before putting EW in hoo-ha), because my plan is to skip the whole procedure :oops:

I believe the reason behind that was to raise EW pH, but when I measure fresh EW pH it's 9 already.

Just be sure to wash the egg really really well (before you crack it, of course lol)

Alex, I am sure I read robbitusin works quickly so if you started cd 10 and used it for a few days that should have been fine?

So you had greta success 1st month with ewcm but this month there was less/none? I noticed that 1st month I had loads and now 4 months along I had zero, hmmm. It may be worth ladies thinking about adding certain things the month they are definately going to attempt for maximum benefit????

Alexis2007

ELP-I had ewcm May cycle but none for my June cycle (as far as I could tell). When I noticed my ewcm during May cycle, TMI I was having a difficult bowel movement lol. Maybe I just noticed it because of the bm? Only thing I changed for June cycle was adding in V8 and grapefruit juice. Someone told me that too much Vitamin C can decrease cm? I've never heard that and thought what I was doing was good for my cm.

I had globs of creamy cm the day before O this cycle and we attempted anyway and hoped my pH made up for the lack of ewcm.

Yes! No one even seems to know what that whole process is supposed to do.:think:

That is enough time to do some good!!

I don't blame you about the EW. I figure, it came out of a chicken's wazoo, I'll skip it! (of course I do eat eggs so that isn't real logical!!:wink: )

But then other people say that some things took them a while to work...we need a new thread on this.

I've heard that grapefruit and vitamin C are GOOD for CM!

Question - are you drinking enough water? It's getting to be summertime so be sure that you're drinking enough. Don't overdo it because too much water is dangerous, but you might want to drink a glass of water when you wake up and again before bed, so your body can use it for the CM.

Oh yeah I drink about 100 oz of lemon water every day!

The whole washing/fridge thing is to raise the egg's ph, no? I think taking one out of the carton, washing it, and leaving it on the counter to get room temp for an hour or two before dtd is good. When I did ew for the first couple of months, I was doing the whole bowl in fridge thing and I think I raised the ph above 10. My ph strips were not super high tech and just gave me a "high" ph reading, but I think it was too high. Try testing one right out of the carton, I bet they are near 8-9 already. Alexis, don't be afraid to do the preseed with pinch of bs also. Don't think it sways girl necessarily......you may have been way girl-zone and the preseed just helped you get pg then.
July 5th, 2011, 12:32 PM
Alexis2007

I agree Lola. I think I need the extra help just to get pg. I may add in the bs with it. Is there a sticky on how to do that and all? Of course, I'm hoping to get the ewcm this time though ;) lol

Alexis, I hear you on wanting the natural ewcm! Mine comes and goes, not sure why, but I just plan on faking it with preseed or ew again. All you have to do is mix a few pinches of bs with the preseed and mix it well. When I did it (which I probably will again), I squirted the preseed into a little clean condiment bowl and then mixed it well, then sucked it up with the dropper thing. You don't need too much of it. Maybe an 1/8 teaspoon if I were measuring? Or, you could do the bsf and then preseed right after, I think that has the same effect, really. It's all up in there one way or another. Just be careful with too much bs.....I am not always sure that it isn't bad for sperm in certain amounts, kwim?

Yes, there is one on Pre-Seed and also one on egg white in the Best Practices section. Plus there is similar info in the BS sticky in there. Be aware that baking soda only has a pH of 8 or something, so if you have an egg white with pH that is in the 9's and you start adding BS to it, the pH will go DOWN.
