Am I drying up?

8 replies

Hi ladies

I have TTC to conceive now for 3 months. I already have a DD who is 17 months old. I am 34 years old and have found my CM is drying up. There’s not as much (I probs have for one to two days max), where as when I was TTC at 31 I had loads! Is this normal and should I be getting this investigated?

Thanks

I think that can depend on loads of things - some really simple, like hydration. I wouldn't worry if that's your only 'symptom'

I doubt it would make a massive difference, sometimes it takes longer to conceive second time round for no particular reason. It took us two months with the first and nearly nine with our second.

You could always try one of the recommended pro-fertility lubricants such as Preseed (gross I know, but it worked for us first time with no. 2). Might not work but wouldn’t do any harm.

There is an ingredient in certain cough medicine that helps you produce more if you do a bit of Googling you will know which one to get , good luck.

Thanks ladies. Would be nice to know if others felt a difference in EWCM from the age of 30 to the age of 34...

I used to get tons in my 20s, now I'm 33 and actually TTC and it's non existent! I do get loads of watery CM though which I think is the next best thing. As others said, give preseed a go.

@SEpoppet I even tried a bulletproof diet this month and water galore! The weird thing is there was no EWCM on my knickers but if I go searching for it near my cervix, I found some!

@buttongalore I give my cervix a full on sweep but can never find any! So weird
