Is there any way to tell if what you are seeing is CM or your Dh's "leftovers"?

Yesterday morning I had a tiny bit of EWCM. Then later, we DTD and I could tell maybe I had more EWCM from being turned on (sorry TMI!).
Hours later, I had big globs of either EWCM or semen. It was extremely stretchy, so I didn't know really what it was?

Just wondering because usually as I get closer to Oing, I'll get more EWCM. I'm just wondering if I'm already starting to get a lot and I'm going to O sooner this cycle.

Anyone starting Oing sooner in their cycles after m/c?

I have wondered this too. It is hard to tell for sure, but I read that if you put the glob into water and it disolves then it is arousal fluid/sperm, if it sinks to the bottom then it is ewcm. Yuck, I know, but you asked for it!! lol

I agree with what Rhonda said. And I *think* that EWCM is much more stretchy than semen....

Ditto on the PP. EWCM is a different consistency than semen and female secretions. It is rubbery-stretchy like.

So CM is different from arousal fluid? I always thought they were the same, like when you were aroused you just released more of the CM?

Okay based on what you guys have told me (although I didn't do the water test) it seems like maybe it was EWCM.

okay so don't think I'm too weird but because I have done my own investigating on this same subect I thought I would reply

To me they have a different smell. I'm really like a bloodhound and have a very sensitive nose so for me EWCM is completely odorless while semen has it's own smell and that varies from person to person.

EWWW I am not smelling Dave's sperm...


you girls make me laugh!

Oh and did I tell you have have almost NO sense of smell?

[priddymama]

okay, so I told you it was a little OT and maybe gross. I don't have to put my nose right down on it exactly. I can pick up the scent from a distance. I guess after all these years I'm very familiar with it.
