CM Quality!
Ok girls...so TMI but I need advice!
I got my positive OPK yesterday! DH and I have been BDing on schedule. I have O cramps however I do not have EWCM. I usually get this EVERY month and it is usually a thick consistency (sorry I warned you)! This month is just random wetness. Like feel like i peed my pants wet. Is this bad? Will I still be able to get preggo if it isn't thick? Any suggestions? I am averaging 46 day cycles so I really don't want to miss out on yet another month!

Re: CM Quality!
From everything that I've read on here and elsewhere, EWCM isn't supposed to be thick, it's supposed to be more thin and wet like you're describing. I'd say you're very close to Oing.

Re: CM Quality!
One thing is your CM can vary. EWCM shouldn't really be thick. It should be very wet and slippery, and most importantly stretchy.
Another thing is you can get a positive OPK and not ovulate. An OPK only predicts O; it doesn't confirm O. But from what you're describing, it sounds like you're close to Oing! I'd BD a few days in a row to cover your bases. Good luck!

Re: CM Quality!
Ok sorry...I guess thick isn't the word! It is usually slippery/stretchy...now it is just watery! How is the sperm supposed to live in there if the CM is too wet to stay in. LOL Sorry I am just analyzing everything! I hope you guys are right! This is my second day with a positive OPK so hopefully I will O tomorrow. I just hope my CM is good enough to get preggo. I know people have so many tricks to loosen CM....any tricks to thicken it? Oh the joys of being a female!

Have you thought about pre-seed? It's an internal lube that mimics CM

Re: CM Quality!
I have never had a problem with CM so I never considered it! However, this month I think I need it and it is too late....I am already on my 2nd day of a positive OPK. I'm so annoyed!!!! I wish I had some at the moment  I have every symptom of ovulation coming...positive OPK, very sore on my left ovary and that walking on eggshells feeling! I usually have the stretchy CM at this time too....

Well it seems like all the signs are there so DON'T get discouraged!!!!!!  Go get busy and maybe December will be your month!!! You never know! Even with pre-seed there's no guarantee!!

Re: CM Quality!
its not too wet or watery for it to stay in. it has to be thin enough for the sperm to swim through it. Watery is GOOD!!! its considered fertile CM so you are fine!! :)
