Okay. I know I have irregular cycles and I have to be persistant on checking my cm and Cervical position if I am going to get preggo. Well I am now ovulating. I have noticed some streachy CM since Sat but I did not think anything of it since I was waiting on AF. I did not have this CM earlier in the month just a diffrent creamy kind ANYWAY
Me and DH were intimate last night and today I had EWCM. I wanted to be sure it was not semen so a trick I was told was if it is semen or arousal stuff if you put it in water it will just dissolve but CM will ball up and sink. MINE SUNK. haha. Has anyone else heard this. It was on a Dr. web site but anyone on the internet can say they are a doc. Also is EWCM on THE DAY YOU OVULATE or after you have ovulated? They say to do it on the EWCM day so do you guys think DH and I did it in time? We will also play again tonight. hmmm. whatcha think? Sorry this is so long.

Another thing......Right after I fell asleep so the semen stayed there all night for 7 hours. You know how it is if you move around or get up. They say that the swimmers have to fight gravity if you walk or move and to stay put for 20-30 min.

I started temping this month and you see a dip right before you ovulate...but everyone has told me to BD the day or 2 before that dip, and for the next few days as well...I was also told the day you have the most CM is supposed to be your most fertile...but I'm new at all this charting stuff so I could be wrong. I know I had a dip then had the most CM the very next day. I SO hope you have a sticky egg this month!!! Goodluck!
