Little to no CM during ovulation...success stories..please

[EekFirstTimeTTC]

OK, help a girl out here please also apologies for the potential case of TMI!
I've always had very little amounts of CM like partner and I need to use help to get things going if ya know what I mean 😉

We've been trying for a while now and I'm starting to worry a little and the more I read into it the more it seems that low amounts of CM can be a sign of infertility.

I just need some hope tbh does anyone have any experience falling pregnant despite low amounts of CM during ovulation?

Just wanted to say that evening primrose oil is really effective in getting your juices going! Take 1000-2000mg per day (during the follicular phase only) and I guarantee you'll have EWCM!

Hey this is the same as me. @Juno231 sorry to be dumb what's follicular phase? What cycle days would I take it? Thanks!

Thanks so much @juno231 I will give it a shot. Fingers crossed it'll help.

@strangerontheinternet your follicular phase is the part of your cycle before you ovulate. After ovulation it's called luteal phase. So basically take EPO from day 1 of your cycle until ovulation day.

The reason you stop at that point is because evening primrose oil can cause mild contractions that could interfere with implantation otherwise.

Hey OP , have you tried using lubricants such as conceive plus? X

I had very little and am now 8 months pregnant. Can't lie though, it took a long time to conceive

@omg35 how long did it take if I may ask?

Thanks @Juno231! Do you just get tablets from Holland snd Barrett/boots etc? X

@strangerontheinternet I just got mine off amazon - I get 1000mg ones and take two of them daily.

POM pomegranate juice has worked wonders for me!

Congrats @omg35 ! How long did it take if you don't mind me asking?

I usually have some EWCM every month and I use it as an indicator if ovulation. However this month I barely got any, just a little bit sticky. OH and I had sex every day leading up to OD, so I wonder, and this might seem silly, did all the sex and semen inside me flush away the CM a bit?
Now that’s a sentence I never thought I’d say!
Appreciate there’s probably not a scientific answer to that, but it just crossed my mind 🙃

@cat8986 I'd guess you may have been dehydrated! Dehydration plays a big part in EWCM - at least if you normally get it.

@Juno231 that’s a very good shout actually! I usually drink a lot of water during the day, but when testing with OPK I’d hold back on drinking for an hour or two to make sure my wee wasn’t watered down. I tested 3 times a day the day before, and of, my peak so would definitely make sense I was dehydrated.
Thank you for the insight ✨✨

Preseed from Amazon! Worked a treat for all three of mine!

I don't get very much either (started EPO and grapefruit this month) and I do wonder if it's the reason we haven't conceived. Glad to hear you got there in the end despite the lack of it @omg35.
