Cervical mucus

[Chloerobinson97]

I noticed some clear and stretchy CM on the toilet paper this morning, it was only a small amount but I haven’t noticed any more and I’ve tried finding some internally, would you think that is EWCM? According to my apps I’m meant to be ovulating tomorrow

@Chloerobinson97 clear and stretchy is a very good description of ewcm so I would say you’ve definitely got it and ovulation is imminent ☺️

@cat8986 thanks for your reply ☺️ Even if I only saw a small amount and haven’t been able to see or find any clear and stretchy mucus since? I’m new to all of this so I have no idea if you’re meant to see loads of EWCM or if just a small amount is enough!

@Chloerobinson97
All women vary, some get lots, some get some, some get none! Do you track your cycle at all and know for definite you’re due to ovulate tomorrow?
If not, I’d recommend using ovulation predictor kits at the least or maybe temp if you want a super sure way of knowing you’re ovulating.
It sometimes takes a few cycles to learn what your body does and what to look out for and it’s not always the same as other women.

If it turns out you hardly have any EWCM then you can take supplements (I believe evening primrose but I have no experience with that) to help or use preseed during sex to mimic EWCM to help the little swimmers get to where they need to get!

@cat8986 thanks for your advice! This is my first time tracking properly. I came off the pill in September 2020 and only had my first period on 4th Feb since coming off! I’ve had lots of tests done and there is no underlying condition either so I’m not 100% sure when I’m meant to ovulate. I’ve been doing OPK’s daily since coming off my period but I haven’t had a positive yet. I’ve also ordered some preseed to help too 😊 I just hope I do actually ovulate otherwise I won’t know what to do! I am also having acupuncture to help so hopefully that plays a part
