My CM has been lotiony with stretch to it. I've been marking it as EWCM, as I always mark an CM with stretch to it as the more fertile stuff. Anyhow, this CM stretches, but not as much as my EWCM usually does. I also noticed my CM was pink this morning, wich is a good indication of O or impending O. I should be Oing anywhere from today to friday. My temp was up significantly yesterday but I missed temping after my dead to the world sleep and temped after some shallow sleep. It is possible I suppose that I Oed already, but unlikely. I don't kow. I know I would tell someone else that O probably hasn't happened and to still count the CM as fertile, but I guess it helps to hear it from others. WDYT?

I would be keeping up the BDing... if it is stretchy i would count it as fertile.

sometimes my creamy was a little stretchy too... Its all about feel. I ended up checking from the inside rather than what was on the surface. I would suggest feeling it before looking at it. I sometimes thought that creamy was EW by the look but it usually felt more lotiony, then a couple days later I would get watery stuff.

I agree with Impatient-- I have always considered that once it is stretchy it is in the fertile category, too.

I count stretchy as fertile. How does it feel when you wipe? If it is slippery it is fertile.

I check internally otherwise I'm always dry/sticky, rarely extrnal EWCM, but I will get it and creamy. Just not a lot. I'm a lot dryer then my younger years. Plus I've had a CO2 laser cone biopsy on my cervix so I'm sure that has caused some damage to the glands. I'll count it as EWCM. I'm just a little worried it's not as stretchy yet. My cervix has been high and soft for a while now though....

I would count it as fertile until you are sure you have O. I find that CM starts of less stretchy and can be quite thick and gets more stretcher and thinner as I near O.

I used to have a hard time charting my CM because ALL of my CM is stretchy. My sticky stretches at least 4 or 5 inches every time. I found that my less fertile CM holds it's shape better and isn't as slippery or slippery at all. Sticky kind of balls up, make strong strands when stretched. You could seriously strum that mess(and I have). My fertile stuff can't hold it's shape that well. If I hold a stretched strand of that horizontally, it would bow down towards the floor making a bigger and bigger strand as it descended.

I also found that when I drink a bunch of water every day, 8+ cups, I get a lot more CM than if I drink just a little bit of water. You might see if that ups the amount of EWCM you get.
