Confused about ewcm... help please?!?

Question

I have 3 children and each time i had no problem conceiving. I didn't know anything about how your cm changes throughout your cycle, i just had lots of s*x and got pregnant, simple. This time we've been trying for a few months and nothing has happened. My partner works away a few days a week so we are having less s*x, so obviously this would have an affect on ttc. The thing that I don't understand is about MY cm. I don't seem to get ewcm. I remember having it in the past, but never thought anything about it as i didn't know what this meant. Now I'm trying to find out when I ovulate I don't notice any at all. I have days where i am very wet with a clear watery discharge, and this can be loads so i need to change my underwear, but its usually a few days after my period. Then I get a white sticky discharge that tends to last most of the rest of my cycle. But nothing that looks like egg white and is very stretchy. I'm confused, am i ovulating, or is my body just different?

Answer 1

Everyone is different, and more than likely you have it, you just don't have as MUCH of it. A number of my friends conceived as well without noticing they had the "stretchy" CM.My OBGYN to me that before I have s*x to take a tsp. of cough syrup....I AM NOT KIDDING! The cough syrup losens the mucous (as it would chest congestion in a cold) and alllows for easier fertilization. I was telling my best friend about it, last month she went and bought herself some Robtussin, lo and behold she is 3 weeks pregnant with #1. I have to wait and try it next month as it was already past the prime baby dancing time of the month for me. Not saying it is a miracle fix for trying to conceive (my friend seems to ALWAYS be lucky) but my OBGYN said that a number of her patients said that it has increased their CM each month, and a number of them got pregnant within 3 months after starting it...after over a YEAR of trying. I figure it's worth a shot, I feel she is genuine in her efforts because she's  not trying to cram expensive fertility methods down my throat! Hope this helps, and baby dust to you!

Answer 2

I'm nearly 6 weeks pregnant and never had what they say is the egg white discharge, someone said to me that i must have it but does not come out or show as much as some woman, i would use a ovulation test instead of looking for egg white discharge, good luck
