CM Dumb Question

I have a dumb question. I am trying to check my CM. It appears to be eggwhitey but DH and I had relations last night and I am not sure if it is the CM I am seeing or his deposit?

How can I tell the difference?


Thanks

Janet

Hey Janet,

From what I understand. EWCM can be stretched between your fingers over and over. Where as spermies can only stretch between your fingers a couple of times. SOrry if this is TMI but I sat there the first time I noticed it and wondered the same thing if it was sperm or EWM. But I stretched the CM over and over and could stretch it like 4 inches between my fingers. Whereas the sperm kinda just stretched like 2 times.

Hope I didn't confuse you anymore. I know that someone here as a good link to a site that explains this a lot better than I just did. Any help ladies????\


Thanks,

Jen

I think there is a difference in the way the two fluids will act in water. I think that CM won't dissolve as easily.

Anyone have the scoop on this?

You're right the CM won't dissolve like the spermies. I read this tip in TCOYF. Also, she suggests doing Kegal exercises a few hours after BDing to "clear things up" (TMI)
