Anyone "O" with little or no CM???

This may be a dumb question, but just wondering if anyone has O'ed without having lots or any cm rather it be creamy (milky), watery or sticky? My fert. monitor FINALLY detected this morning, "high fertility" which I couldn't believe, I am on cd 15 and shouldn't O until about cd 20 (I have longer cycles: 34 days or so) so I am excited to have finally seen that "high" sign but at the same time I don't have a lot if any cm unless I feel my cp then I might get a little bit of the white creamy cm on my finger (soory, tmi) just a tad and nothing in my panties.

Although, today, my cervix is finally softening and a bit more open feeling from yesterday. I am just wondering since I am about 5 days away from O, is this normal not to have more cm by now or do you think it will get more pronounced by say 2-3 days before O? Anyone have cm right before O and not a few days before?

Just wondering if anyone can shed some light on this b/c according to my monitor I "should" ov next week and my cp is confirming that just wondering why no cm yet.

Thanks to anyone who's had an experience with this or can put in 2 cents!

I don't know but this is my first cycle off BCP and so far my CM pattern is going along normally I guess, I had 2 days of creamy and this is my 3rd day of EW, but it's very minimal for the most part. The only time I notice it is when I wipe (TMI!!) I'm hoping that still means I can O though...Good luck!

I don't think its a problem that you dont' have abundant CM. You do seem to have some CM at your cervix, so I think thats good. Everyone has slightly differernt hormone levels and their bodies are different. I think the expected thing is to get creamy CM when estrogen rises, which is when your fertility monitor will say high, so you seem to be on track. Then when the monitor says peak, the cm will probably be more watery to egg white. Not everyone really gets eggwhite so if you don't see that I wouldn't worry. Also, having the CM at the cervix is where it matters, you don't need a lot to help the little swimmers on their way. They get released right there at the cervix.

I hope this helps.

Good luck,

Thanks girls.

Vicki,

Thanks for the info. I feel better and I think your right, there may be more coming as I get closer to the "peak days" next week, I guess as longs as the monitors showing that I am O'ling that is all I should be concerned with. I'll wait and see.

Thanks again.
