No EWCM.. EVER!?

[Littlebee1990]

I just don’t ever notice it, I even wore dark knickers all cycle to try and notice it but just never seem to have any.

Any advice for increasing this? Could this be a problem?

Thanks!

Hey, how about when you wipe? I don't get much in my knickers but when I wipe, there is often lots of EWCM.

@Fran2020 I never notice it there either! Even made a conscious effort this month to check the tissue, just never seems to be there! X

@Littlebee1990 Hmm, anything at all if you check inside with a finger? X

I said this to my fertility nurse and she said when you wipe and it feels abit slippery then that’s your fertile cervical mucus. I don’t get a lot like some people so I was concerned that this was an issue. X

Not everyone gets EWCM. You take your most fertile CM as your peak, and when it dries up its a sign of ovulation, even if you didn't peak at egg white. Also worth bearing in mind you might not support sperm for 5 days so make sure to DTD closer to your ovulation (you still should be fine 3 days beforehand if TTC, but if you're routinely missing ovulation day and 3-4 days beforehand you might struggle). It's in Taking Charge of your Fertility if you want to read up on it a bit more

@Littlebee1990 hi 👋 this is way too tmi but... I heard of the BFN podcast that you are best to check for cervical mucus after you have done a poo 💩 as the motion of it moving also moves the mucus... haha 😄

Make sure you keep hydrated! Drinking grapefruit juice during your FP as well as taking evening primrose oil has helped me get EWCM every cycle now :) I do sometimes have to check inside though whereas other times it's on my tissue or super obvious in my knickers after I've been on a run.

Thanks all! I’m going to track everything this month once AF has shown and gone.
I’ve even ordered a new notebook... I am officially CRAZY.
