Cervical mucus question

[Mommytoboyz]

What should cervical mucus look look and feel like when swaying for a girl. I know egg white and stretchy means very fertile so BD would likely produce a boy. Any input would be great as I am nearing ovulation. thanks

You can't tell by how it looks visibly. We have had people study/obsess over every aspect of CM and there seems to be no reliable info we can discern other than that O is appraoching.

That's the thing - we have had so many EWCM opposites (myself included) and it's a fact that we do need fertile CM to get pregnant with ANY baby, boy or girl, that at some point it has become pretty hard for me to buy into the CM idea. If there are differences, I suspect it is happening on a level that we cannot see with the naked eye (otherwise, we'd have gotten WAY better results than we did (especially back on Ingender) since a lot of people were not BD with fertile CM at ALL, only with creamy, and quite a few were still getting boys anyway.

This is one of those things that seemed plausible but over time and with observation I've had to admit that this is probably not a thing we can in any way rely on, unfortunately.

Thanks atomic. I haven't had a positive OPK yet but we BD on the 6th and I should get a positive on the 12th. Should we just wait until that positive OPK to BD or did I mess something up by BDing on the 6th?
The reason I was asking about CM is because mine seems to be clear and watery...is this normal leading up to Ovulation?

Thank you sofullofhope! I have never paid so much attention to CM but I've been freaking out when it gets closer to ovulation. I just want to do things "right" if there's even a right way lol. Last month we BD on first positive OPK and didn't get pregnant! I just stopped birth control the month prior but AF is on time so I'm thinking this might be the month! **fingers crossed**

Lol I've been obsessing over CM and OPK. I still test Ph although i don't think that plays that big of a role in gender. I'm sure hoping this is the month for me! I was pregnant the first month off birth control with my second!

this morning I got a positive OPK. My charting says I would ovulate on the 12th. Does this seem right? I'm so confused with the OPK and what a positive means.
