Anyone get PG without any EWCM??????

Hello ladies. Ok, just a quick one, anyone got pg with using clomid or without with no ewcm? I got a peak fert. reading on my fert. monitor today (cd 16) with bad, bad cramps, I am also on 100mg of clomid took it cd 4-8 and I know I should O tomorrow but I NEVER get ewcm like most girls do on this board. I used Robitussion this month, nothing. My dh and I used pre-seed during my fertile days (felt cp to really tell) so I'm hoping the pre-seed will sorta act as my ewcm to guide the sperm up there. When I check my cp manually I do get some cm but it was creamy to lotion like early on after af (like normal) then it turned into watery, which I think would be like my ewcm since I don't get the stretcy stuff right? I hope it's not a dumb question but most pg charts I've viewed these past months all have E on their graphs on the day of O and last month I didn't get that they day before O or the day of and so far it's looking the same this month. I know you can get pg without a lot of cm so I wonder how much is enough? I had TONS upon tons of ewcm when I was on the bcp's (stopped them in March this year) was on them for 10 yrs. which I don't think matters, what is strange why would I get all that ewcm with the bcp's but as soon as I stop them it went away, it's strange to me as I thought the bcp's were suppose to surpress O from happening. Weird and I'll never get it, but it pisses me off as I really need that ewcm now, not when I was on the damn bcp!!! Ugh. So please reassure me that I can conceive fine without it and if pre-seed should do the trick. Also, we are bding enough (my charts attached) just in case the sperm were in a hostile environment so we are doing it everyday until after I O.

Thanks a million.

Hi Julie,

I wonder about not having EWCM as well. I never get it--I don't remember having it in my 20's, either. My most fertile cm is watery as well. I hope it's enough--I do have a son, so I was fertile enough then! But it can be somewhat discouraging to know that I don't produce the *most* fertile quality cm. Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one who doesn't have it. Anyway, good luck to you.

Have hope ladies... Last cycle DH and I got pregnant.. using preseed, and having no ewcm.. I had a little wattery cm, but not much..

ended up having a m/c, but we "did" get pregnant.. beta even showed pos. So, keep your hopes up... I'm proof that it can work without ewmc.

best of luck

Thank you ladies for answering my post! I have hopes of not needing ewcm to conceive, don't know why I'm worried about it. I think it's all the posts I read that always mention it and I wonder if it's normal that I don't get any! Well I O tomorrow sometime on cd 17 with a 100mg of clomid, 1st cycle so we'll see what happens.

Thanks again.

Julie

Egg White Cervical Mucus. It is the most fertile cm that you get and normally will be present just before you ovulate("O"). Many women track this to tell when they are ovulating. It is clear and very stretchy- resembling raw egg whites (hense the name). It enables sperm to swim through the cervix and travel where they need to go. PH levels of regular cm will typically kill sperm or at least hinder their ability to swim.


HTH!

I had next to zero for CM, let alone EWCM... and here I am at 18 weeks! Nothing I did helped (Robitussin, V8, anything). So I could never use that as an ovulation predictor. I used the salivascope and that worked well.

Hope this gives you some hope! It can be done. I was also worried, but we did it.

I have be stressing about being EWCMless too! I have none.......it is good to know that pg happens without it...but I will be buying the green tea and robitussin next month if I get a BFN this week!

Good luck to you!
