CM Question
| Thu, 07-31-2003 - 2:29pm |
Hello,
I am only in my second cycle TTC and only about a quarter of the way though the TTCOYF book that eveyone on this board recommended so I am still pretty clueless about CM

I am on cycle day 9. I have not had any CM this cycle until now. It is kind of thick, is that supposed to happen before ovulation. How soon before ovulation does CM occur. I haven't bedded since Sunday because I didn't think that the time could be here yet. What do you guys think, did I miss my chance?
Thanks

I am not a charter (but will soon if this month doesnt work out) - anyway, I have gotten to know alot about CM because that is all I have been going by.
WHat do you mean by "thick"?
Most people get the EWCM (egg white cervical mucus) 1 or 2 days before Ovulation. This is the BEST time to BD. The sperm can live in your ewcm for up to 5 days depending on the consistancy. Once you have O'd, it is unlikely you will catch that egg. (I still make it a point to BD every day once my CM starts to get slimy and clear - and then hopefully stretchy - egg-whitish. And I BD at least 2 days after I know I have O'd. (just for luck). I used to BD every other day of the month and then 4 - or 5 days straight around O. (That is until I started putting too much pressure on my husband and he started getting "gun shy"). So now I bd at least once a week and then during O.
Sorry so long - I have a hard time keeping it short sometimes!
:)
Hope this helps a little
There is a great CM site - I will try to find it and if I do, I will post it here.
