CM Question

*~Jen~* · #1 July 26th, 2007, 12:11 PM

I'm only on CD 8, but I had a tiny bit of EWCM today. It's mostly creamy, but there's some stretchy egg-whitey stuff mixed in with it. Would you mark that as creamy or EWCM? Last 2 cycles I've O'd late and had EWCM for 2 weeks before I finally O'd so I don't really know how much it means in my case anyhow.

Either way....I don't think I've ever noticed anything resembling EWCM this early in my cycle...what do you think?

FF says to mark the most fertile CM you see during the day EVEN if it's not the most frequent sign. If there was ANY EWCM I would mark it as such. HTH

I'm not saying this is happening to you, but I also get confused with creamy and EWCM. When I first started charting a the beginning of the month, I was marking EWCM when I was really having creamy (I had to go back and change it). Now, this was a little awkward at first, but this is how I test my CM now, when I check my cervix I insert 2 fingers, place one on each side of my cervix (try to anyways), gently pushing on it helps release fluids, then I slowly pull out my fingers, then I observe as I slowly pull my fingers apart. Anyways, that has helped me tremedously. Cut down on much of the confusion.
