Hi,

My husband and I were going to start ttc for our 2nd come December/January but I think after last night it's gonna take a miracle for me to not end up pregnant this month. My last period began on 7/12/06, I started noticing cm on 7/22-7/23 at this time it was the thick globby/extrememly wet cm (sorry for the tmi). Yesterday I was still having slight cm but it was faint and thin where it was still noticable but not much like the previous days and my husband and I got a little carried away last night and now here I am today with this email :-)

My last pregnancy was unplanned so I have never actually charted or tried to get pregnant. I obviously know that cm=fertile but I'm not sure as to which cm is the most fertile?? I'm not sure If I ovulated on 7/22-7/23 and my cm was just hanging around yesterday or visa versa. We really did not want to get pregnant this soon but it would still be great even if I was.

What do you ladies think??

Hi Arah,
Usually CM that is very stretchy, like egg-whites or very watery means you're very fertile. Usually women get that right around the time they're ovulating. Does that sound like the kind of CM you saw before you and DH BD'd?
HTH and good luck, keep us posted on if you are pg! :)

Well that is what I noticed on Saturday and Sunday it almost looked like I put some lotion in my hand except it was clear (once again sorry for the tmi) and there was a lot of it. So if Sunday was the last day I experienced that type of cm is it possible to get pregnant 2 days later? Is the egg still alive by then?

Well, I think it is possible b/c CM doesn't necessarily mean that you've already O'd, it just means that you're around O time... so if you were experiencing EWCM, then BD a few days later, it's probably within the realm of possiblities that you could be pg. It's really hard to pin point exactly when an egg is released. I forget, didyou say AF was late already? If it is, you could maybe take a HPT... good luck! :)

My last AF was 7/12 too! I noticed really thick sticky cm on Sunday and Monday and then none really yesterday. Dh and I bd last night and I swear I could feel him hitting my cervix. This morning I had what I'm calling 'true ewcm'. Exactly what the egg whites looked and felt like when I cooked them for breakfast (I washed my hands first!). I'm very hopeful and optimistic. According to the ovulation charts depending on how long cycles are today and yesterday are the 'very fertile' times.

Good luck! Keep us posted!
