CM during stims - should I be worried?

4 replies

I'm day 7 of stims and added Cetrotide on Thursday to prevent ovulation. I'm worried because I've had tons of egg white CM, way more than I would usually have during a normal cycle around ovulation.

Due to Covid, my clinic is cutting back on scans so first monitoring scan isn't until Monday (day 9). I'm worried that the CM could mean the cetrotide isn't doing its thing and I may ovulate before EC.

Does anyone have any experience of this?

Hi @HeyHeyWhatever this is completely normal! I had exactly the same and called my clinic in a panic - they reassured me it’s nothing to worry about. I’ve also seen lots of others on here say the same and it’s never been an issue.
I had egg collection back in Feb and all went to plan so the CM definitely didn’t mean ovulation! I think it’s caused by all the estrogen.
Wishing you all the best xx

Same here, I noticed lots of extra CM this month, scan was fine and had FET 3 days ago. Sounds like it’s normal xx

This is really normal - as you’re stimming your body is probably producing a higher level of estrodial which in turn creates more cm. it is rare to ovulate while on Cetrotide as it blocks the hormone that tells the body to do this. Best of luck with your scan!

Thank you all! Why don't they warn us of these things?! 😂

One less thing to worry about before Monday. Thanks again
