cremey is better. are you on treatments? I cant tell if my CM is altered from it because I dont think I really used to look LOL...well, are you ovulating?!

had my smiley face thurday and a bit of ewcmnot a lot then had lots of creamy cm only 2 or 3dpo tho

I read the book "taking charge of your fertility" and it said your CM should be stretchy and the consistancy of eggewhite. So slippery when you rub it between your fingers and stretchy when you pull your fingers appart. I find taking something like Robitussin the original Not Robitussin DM can improve your mucous. It is a decongestant so it loosens mucous in the body not just in the lungs. The book says to sart taking it 2-3 days before you are supposed to ovulate and during. It has worked for me in the past(not everytime though).It's worth a shot.....Good Luck

I got this from ovulation-calculator.com. (You can google cervical mucus and ovulation and get a ton of info, I do it every month just to make sure)


Pre-Ovulation

Following the menstrual period, there is a feeling of dryness. There will be no visible mucus. Gradually, more mucus will accumulate - yellow, cloudy, or white in color and sticky to the touch.

Approaching Ovulation

As you approach ovulation, your cervical mucus will increase. First, there will be a moistness or stickiness to the mucus, as well as a white or cream-colored appearance.

During Ovulation

At ovulation, the quantity of mucus will increase greatly and the appearance will resemble "egg whites", often semitransparent. The texture will become increasingly slippery and 'stretchable'. This is your most fertile time.

Following Ovulation

Following ovulation, the slippery quality of the cervical mucus will decrease and the mucus will become sticky and cloudier. Post-ovulatory dryness will also ensue.

isnt it supposed to look like raw egg white when fertile? clear stretchy

I can tell when I am getting ready to ovulate by my cm. It really strechy and clear just like egg whites.

right around ovulations it is sort of like the white part of a raw egg. after ovulation it then becomes thicker and then it dries up. a bit after period but before ovulation it is thicker and cloudy and sticky (not stretchy like ovulation though)

you know the funny thing about this? when i was younger, i thought there was something wrong with "me" b/c of the changes and discharge. guess not! :-)

what the cm suppose to be like if your preg

I'm sorry, I'm a bit confused. Can anyone clear this up for me?

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week, my mucus was clear, but not really stretchy. This would be right before ovulation, correct? Then today, it was cloudy and stretchy. Does that mean that I'm possibly ovulating now? This is so confusing.
