EWCM? (tmi)

[tripper]

You'd think after ttc'ing this long I'd know this by now...
But I don't!

Dh and I fooled around last night, and when I went to the bathroom just now (almost 24 hours later) I had EWCM... Could that be caused by what we did last night, or could I already (on day 13) be getting fertile? I usually don't O until about day 19, so this seems really early for me...

What do you ladies think?

Yeah...it could just be from bd'ing. But you are also not *that* far away from being fertile so....*shrug* (Lots of help I am, huh?) I know there is someone around here who can probably tell you how to determine the difference between EWCM and semen, but I don't know. That always confused me too when we were TTC.

if it stretches it probably fertile cm, if it breaks then most likly semen. You can also fill up the sink with water, if the substance clumps up then it is ewcm if it starts to disinegrate then it is semen.

wait , now i can't remember if it is the other way around.... I think that's right though...

You are right Esther, semen disintegrates in water, not EWCM.

YEP! I'd say the same as the other girls. Keep up your BD every 36 hours...that's what worked for us this time!

So now, how do you get your dh interested in bd'ing when "it's time"? It's like he only wants to do it if it's his idea... kwim? Sigh... maybe a visit to the specialist will help.
Looks like that's gonna be pushed back to Dec now.

I WILL be patient, I WILL be patient, I WILL be patient...

Perhaps some nice lingerie?!

I hate to be so frank, but the honest truth is... that once you *mess* with them, downstairs, it's REALLY hard for them to "turn back off"... try being a little bit too seductive, that's bound to get things rolling. Hope things go well, dear!
