Hey Ladies
I just had a question about CM. See we are TTCing for the first time and usually with ovulation I can tell cause of my CM but we started TTCing a few days before I ovulated and I never got the CM I am used to getting. you know the eggy white kind. I just didnt have any for a few days although I did feel a bit wet down there. Then it all just went back to normal.
Could this be because of the sperm or maybe we hit it right on the right days so there was no CM, that wouldnt make much sense though but I am wondering about it. PLEASE ANSWER!!!

I think it depends on you, I know when I was on the pill my body seemed to have acted differently than it does now, and even now, each month seems to vary a bit. I would also say it depends on how you are checking it, if you check it internally you will notice it more than if you just evaluate your undies. And I assume your water intake can affect it as well, if you aren't drinking enough water it may decrease your CM. The day you thought you felt wetness..was it on or near when you would normally have ovulated?
Sorry I couldn't me of much more help. Goodluck anyway.

Hiya,
My advice would be to start using Ovulation Prediction Kits. I used these for the first time and guess what, I'm pregnant :)
Basically, they are like a pregnancy test, you pee on them at the same time every day and get a result when you are about to ovulate. I found this more reliable that checking my CM because I found that mine wasn't text book anyway.
I hope this helps you, good luck

Your cm can be different from cycle to cycle. One cycle I thought there was going to be a flood from how much I had and it lasted for about 4 days, the next cycle I had almost nothing, and what little I did have lasted for one afternoon. We got pregnant that same night.
If I may editorialize for a moment: It seems from your messages that you feel really stressed out and desperate ("VERY WORRIED," "PLEASE HELP!"). Something that my doctor told me is that the only bodily system that is more affected by stress than the digestive system is the female reproductive system. Which is to say, if stress and worry can give people ulcers and it has and EVEN stronger effect on your reproductive system, you're not doing yourself any favors by worrying so much. I know it's hard when you're excited for a baby (believe me, I do), but if you can just take a step back for a minute you might have better luck. If you really think about it, so what if it takes you 5 months to conceive a child, who will be a part of your life for the rest of your life? Five months or so is a very short time in the big picture, when you think about it.
Don't get so focused on one day's cm (or temp, if you're charting), or one missed day of bd. Just relax and enjoy this time with your husband. Before you know it you'll have a whole new set of worries ( "is this normal for the 4th month of pregnancy?"), and then a whole new set after that ("is it normal that my baby sleeps through the night already?").
If you're healthy and he's healthy, the process should be fun! LET yourself have fun!
