EWCM on Stims
Is it normal to have EWCM while on Stims? i'm on my 5th night of Gonal-F injections and I was justed started on the ganirelix injection this morning...but I feel like I'm going to ovulate based on changes in my cervical mucus...This is my first time doing stims so if anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it! Thanks Ladies!

Re: EWCM on Stims
Yes.
High levels of estrogen (normally) trigger the glands in your cervix to produce EWCM as you get close to ovulating.
Follicles, as they become more mature, give off estrogen in increasing amounts. When you have a lot of follicles, you have a lot of estrogen, so your glands are likely to start producing earlier in your cycle than usual.
HTH! Don't worry so much about every little feeling with IVF. The meds make lots of wacky things happen

Re: EWCM on Stims
My RE said the side effects of the injectables are moodiness, hot flashes, and an increase in CM. I've had a lot of EWCM the past few days, I'm on my 11th days of the injectables.
