Thread: EWCM at +OPK

    EWCM at +OPK

    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

    Happy with my crew and no more are due xx

    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.

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    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

    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.
