Lack of EWCM?

[NiceToChat88]

Hello all

Just looking for a bit of advice
Going into cycle 9 ttc and have added some changes into things - going to start BBT, better ovulation strips & upping the vitamins.

One thing that bothers me is lack of noticeable EWCM. Does/did anyone suffer the same and have taken anything to help increase it? I've had a few suggestions for pre seed but would like to try something more natural to help with my body creating it around ovulation

I noticed that mine seemed to have almost disappeared, was worried about it (thought it was peri), but fell pregnant within 6 months of unprotected sex. I'm 41

And when i went for a fertility MOT i mentioned it to the gynae and she wasn't concerned.

Are you definitely ovulating?

@Whataretheodds that's good to know, thank you!!

@dreamersdown yup, take OPK which always show a peak and had a 21 day blood test taken last month which confirmed ovulation with a good result of 63 x

I hardly get any EWCM. One little bit a month if I'm lucky. When I fell pregnant in April I didn't get any that month so convinced myself I hadn't ovulated!🙈 Some ladies have tried taking Evening Primrose oil tablets up until ovulation & drinking a glass of grapefruit juice a day up until OV, as it's supposed to help increase EWCM. It didn't do anything for me but I know ladies on here that it did work for & increased their EWCM by doing this.

I get 1 day of proper EWCM if that, could be the age - 36. Took me 2 months to get pregnant each time, first was early MC and second - currently 10 weeks pregnant. I ovulate on CD 16-17 usually so just tried to do some DTD around days 14-16 to cover the bases, it worked despite mostly only ‘semi-fertile’ mucus present around this time. Best of luck x

@stardust00 @aquarius36 thank you both! I can't remember ever having noticeable EWCM but I was on the pill for 10 years so not sure if that effects it at all, I've also been failing to drink much water which apparently can effect it. Going to just stay hydrated and see how things go! Doctor told me not everyone has notices having it but doesn't mean it's not there x
