EWCM

[Plum3]

Are you using preseed at all?

[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

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 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!

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.
