I originally posted over at TTC because I keep forgetting that here is more logical ...

Background ... this morning I found Sticky when I wiped. It was a sticky solid so I feel safe classifying it as Sticky. I was very excited. However, when I was next on potty break I found more ewcm

Anyway .. from my other post ..

It's only sometimes, and in small amounts (comparative to a couple days ago) and I only find it on the outside. When I checked my cervix this morning and when I checked internal CM in the shower, there is nothing inside or on my cervix except something that's not sticky or stretchy at all .. it's more like flour water in consistency and appearance and there's not a ton of it.

I could go into further detail but I'm too bashful.

Any ideas what is going on? My temps on my chart can't be trusted because of irregular sleep and inconsistent times. Yesterday was kind of similar in that there was small amounts of EWCM but I saw even less of anything else.

Is it possible I'm just easily aroused and it's actually arousal fluid I keep getting in patches? (What? Mountains of laundry don't do that for you? ) It's a long shot but I'm really confused here.

Insight appreciated.

I found this on FF... maybe it'll shed some light?

Multiple Patches of Fertile Cervical Fluid

Thanks Nikki. I do think O has been delayed but I've had one big patch rather than some days here and there. I mean, ewcm has been copious for over a week (scarily so Saturday) and today, and less so yesterday, it's been a mixed bag of a tiny bit of everything .. except for those tiny bits that keep showing up occasionally through the day I'd think for sure I had O'd but it just refuses to fully dry up so maybe no O at all this month

I know I know it will come clear in time and I need to just wait ... *shudders* I don't like that word

I'm sorry, I'm no help! I know cm is difficult to read. I don't trust mine at all. I depend on cervical position.

Well, my cervix is low and firmer still than the past two days. As for CM there was just that flour water type ... moist inside but nothing sticky, stretchy or slippery. Do I put that down as creamy?

My temps have been taken all over the clock so I don't know that I can read anything from them at all but my temperatures were very low at the time I took them this morning so I'm thinking this cycle is anovulatory. I took a temp at 4:10am thinking I was about to have to get up but didn't end up having to so temped again when I intended to at 4:40 .. first one was 96.55 and the second, just 30minutes later was 96.98. That's a big jump but they're both extremely cold for me.

if your cervix is low and firm, i would say you are post o. That cm sounds more sticky or dry to me. My creamy cm (the only cm i can identify lol) is white, wet, and well... creamy in consistancy. Like maybe the consisitancy of heavy cream but a little thicker.

i really don't know what to say about your temps

This sounds like a stupid question but .. just to be sure .. if my underwear is getting wet and I've had to change it twice - that's not normal post-O .. right? Am I safe assuming that?

I changed my chart to only show temps taken between 3:30 and 4 since most I had were in this time frame and I'm going to continue trying to get temps at 4 and I'm just going to watch that. .... and ONLY take my temp at 4 .... no more multiple temps .... I will resist the compulsion. I'm not going to check CP anymore because Nikki was right about it changing and I'm just not familiar enough with it to know what I'm doing (I checked it again a little while ago and it's high again ).

I'm willing to accept that I just have not O'd yet.
