@2020mission haha yeah I would blame him too, I think it's common after lots of sex. Thankfully I've never had thrush (as far as I am aware though!)

I don’t really know what that gel is for but a test sounds like a plan (I can react to shellfish, what an odd one) @2020mission

@xoJellyBean it really is a great name!

Thanks for the tag 🙂

Hi everyone 🙂 I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else before... I'm usually pretty dry down below, sometimes it's even uncomfortable to wipe and usually get ewcm when I wipe only once or twice, could miss it if I'm not looking for it. This cycle ewcm started on cd10 and increased until cd12 when I got my peak and ovulation pains (yesterday). Yesterday I also had a blob of creamy cm when wiping and then more ewcm the next time I wiped. I've NEVER had creamy cm like that before, maybe a tiny streak on a tissue if any at all but this was the size of a 50p! I had a small amount of creamy cm today too. Ive also never had that amount of ewcm for so long before. Has anyone ever had a cycle where their cm increases a lot compared to normal without doing anything differently or had ewcm and creamy cm on the same day?

Did you dtd? TMI but could it be leftovers from that?👀 but my cm does vary from month to month, like this month I only got one day of ewcm!

@xoJellyBean it was nearly 24 hrs after dtd so don't think it could be that. Dp only has 1 testicle so doesn't produce much "fluid" anyway. My cm does fluctuate a bit but never had anything like this before 😬

@Dogmum13 I've had this a few times. Don't believe it's anything to worry about. I just think it means I'm producing more CM than usual! It is gross though 😂

@Dogmum13 I'm the same as you, normally very dry but I have the odd cycle where I seem to be gushing for me it's probably something to do with the changes I make with my diet/supplements after having read a miracle solution for fertility online! But I have also heard that your CM changes when you're pregnant? How many DPO are you?

@notyetamumbuttrying happy belated birthday! Sounds like you had a good night :)

I've been off for maybe a week because I literally can't keep up with you ladies! So sorry if I've missed anything, hope you're all doing well. I've just felt totally exhausted all week and only manage to read a couple of pages at a time haha. But feeling back on it today. Absolutely LOVE the new bus title! Certainly feeling like an infertile donkey, I'm sure I noticed a warthog at some point as well...

@Theawkwardblonde thanks lol first time it's happened and on my 17th cycle lol

@peanutButterBrownies only 2 dpo

@2020mission hope it clears it up soon! Pessaries worked for me.
@xoJellyBean glad you like the title 😆 are you ttc as well?
@PeanutButterBrownies thank you! It was lovely yeah. Had a surprise visit from my parents yesterday so that rounded it off nicely. Strolled round Greenwich park.
Glad you're bk on it today! Nothing really missed. The warthog was because there isn't a donkey emoji and I thought it resembled it the closest 😂
@CreativeThinkerTequilaDrinker thank you hun. My question was in relation to having a laparoscopy to @Motherofkittens28 sorry if that wasn't clear in my original msg. Xx

@notyetamumbuttrying yes I am.. since October 2018!! 🤞🏻

@xoJellyBean it's a shit road isn't it!! Do you have a diagnosis or going through any treatments yet/soon?

@Dogmum13 my cm always varies each month, but tends to be on the drier side these days so it’s always noticeable when I get ewcm or that gushy feeling!

Af arrived yesterday, really short cycle only 23 days but I was expecting it as I ov’d really early on cd10! Here we go again! Hoping this might be the last month ttc naturally before ivf! 🤞🏻

@notyetamumbuttrying unfortunately I've been in complete denial that it would just 'happen' so only getting around to admitting there is more than likely something up & seeing my GP... what's your story so far?

@Dogmum13 I've had this before, though my cm seems to have a mind of its own! Some months barely any, others I have loads! Have you made any supplement changes recently?

@crazycatlady1981 sorry af arrived 😕 tlc for you today

As for me I'm having a confusing day! Did my first opk today as my cb app told me to cd7 so got a low as expected but then had a big blob of ewcm! Last few months I've had barely any to none and this month lots, I've been taking supplements and stuff so it's probably that just a bit confused as to why it's so early and when I got a low opk not even a high one 🤪

@Marvellouslymadmum no changes! Past 2 months I've been very lazy about taking them but will get back on them now just incase 😬

@Dogmum13 was just thinking one of your supplements may have increased the cm but who knows!

@Marvellouslymadmum yeah that was my initial thought until I remembered I hadn't taken any 😂🤦‍♀️

@Dogmum13 😂 who knows what our bodies are doing and why!

Well I popped in a pessary last night for the first time ever and what a mess this morning 😅 I thought sperm was messy but it's nothing in comparison. Thankfully it's a single dose pill, so just gels for the rest of the week now. I'm 7 DPO today and the gels pack states do not use when trying to conceive 🙄 so it's a race against time to get all 7 days of it in there before AF and my next fertile window (can you call it a fertile window when you're clearly not very fertile? 😆)

@Dogmum13 I always wonder what causes more CM but after having seen the GP she seems to think mines is a pH imbalance and thrush and I don't think I'll ever get excited over more CM now... before I always thought ohh it's fertile CM or late in the cycle I would think ohh it's pregnancy CM 😑 I did have more CM than usual when I had a chemical so it's hard not to think that's a likelihood.

@crazycatlady1981 sorry lovely. Glad you're ok though and have ivf coming!

@xoJellyBean ah I see. Make sure Dh sees his too and gets an SA. Ours was male factor at first but they've now improved with supplements and lifestyle changes. Now we think it's me and endometriosis so getting a laparoscopy soon, just waiting on a date for surgery now. Have had my pre op assessment already.

@2020mission I remember it well. All chalky isn't it. My friends sister was diagnosed unexplained and they went through ivf, she's currently pregnant after the third go and she thinks her struggles was because of thrush so there might be something in thrush being a cause. So it's great it's getting seen to and sorted, hopefully once cleared up a bfp won't be far away 🤞🏾
We need to rename it donkey week don't we 😂 hope you're ok today?! I see you said on the other group you won't be logging on again today x

@notyetamumbuttrying that's interesting about thrush stopping you becoming pregnant I'll be blaming that now too 😂
