Is it fertile CM as in watery or as in the eggwhites stretchy type? You can get fertile CM for a couple of days before you actually ovulate. I'd say DTD every day or every other day until the day after your cm turns dry.

yesterday it was egg white stretchy and today its really wet and watery. i thought the ewcm that was stretchy meant OVULATION. or am i ABOUT to ovulate? all this is confusing! oh well! i think i have a good shot this month as we have bd 4 nights in a row! tonight will be 5! i will just take your advice and do it everyday till i dry up!! thanks for your advice!

It does mean that you're about to ovulate soon, how soon is anothe question. Some people have EWCM for a couple of days before they ovulate. You definitely have a GREAT chance. EWCM and watery CM are great for keeping the swimmers alive and able to travel their way to your eggs. Good luck!!

so i had the really watery type cm and now i still have it! its gooey though (sorry tmi!) and not stretchy. does that mean i Oed? i havent bd since Thursday. were ttc a BOY so i thought for sure i would O Friday but i dunno if i did! hubby said i am pregnant already cause we had hotdogs for dinner a few nights ago and when i eat hotdogs i have to dip them in pork n beans, well i made them and couldnt eat them!! they smelled like dog food to me and tasted even worse. Hubby tried them and he said they tasted FINE!! so i think maybe i will test this week. we have been ttc since September but i had been exclusively bfing! maybe we conceived LAST month!! that would be cool!! i will keep yall posted!! oh also i have weird breast pain. my left boob is killing me and then it goes to my other one!! WTH!!!!??
