I'm so confused about CM. Most of what I notice always feels watery-slippery type. Occasionally it'll be more creamy. I can't really tell the distinction between all of them. Is all watery type fluid considered fertile?

Learning to understand your different kinds of CM can be a little tricky. Creamy CM (thick, more like lotion, has no stretchability) is not fertile. Water and EWCM is your most fertile CM and will be present in the days prior to O. EWCM is just as it sounds, much like raw egg whites. Watery CM is a more watered down versions of this. They will both stretch very far before breaking. Here's a great article that should hopefully help explain it much better than I can:

Good luck!

Watery is fertile (but not as thick and fertile as eggwhite). Watery and eggwhite CF are clear/colourless. Creamy is usually white and it is not considered fertile.

If you can find the book Taking Control of your Fertility, there are color pics of each stage of CM.

I'm the same way! Well, I shouldn't really say that quite yet because I've only been checking it for about 5 days now, but before ever checking it, I only remember it being exactly as you say. A couple years back I used to be a very active in masterbation (I went through a phase for a while lol) and I really don't remember ever bringing my fingers out and there being anything different than watery/sticky. But I'm hoping it was just me not paying attention to that so I'm being patient and seeing if it changes at all.

Its definitely watery and feels like it squirts right out and my underwear are wet. I have this even leading up to my period though, is that normal? The only time I'm dry is maybe right after my period. I think I'm confused between creamy and egg white.

is this your first timew checking CM? everyone is different, some women dont have a lot of CM. but a healthy typical woman, not on BCP, etc, has copious fertile mucous, so i am assuming that when you see true watery or EWCm , you will know it. I am not kidding you that if you look down at your (sorry) crotch when peeing, you may see a gigantic splooge of eggwhite dripping into the toilet. Aas much as a chicken egg!! If you wipe too soon, you might miss it. you will certainly still see some EWCm on the tissue, but it wont be as dramatic as seeing when your body 'cracks an egg' into the pot.

watery is also dramatic, it is like you peed your pants, LOL.

it is not JUST the texture, it is also the amount - there is so much more EW or W cm than there is creamy.

i too have the4 mini-squirt all cycle long at various days (except right after AF) but that is not nec'rly watery. I almost think true watery is just eggwhite when your body temp is up , due to activity or whatever. it is just runnier, thinned out EWCM.

i am sorry to say, but this is really one of those when you see it, you will know it. EVen now, after 5 years of tracking CM, i see some thicker, almost clear creamy cm, bordering on EW, and i think, aha, EWCM? then in a day or two, i get like 1/4 cup of true egg white in my hand, LOL and i say, AAAHHH!! EWCM!!! it's like i forget what it is like every month, and i am surprised at it.

Yes, this is really my first month of trying to check it. Someone recommended a book that actually shows pictures of what it should look like, maybe I'll check that out. I think theres a possibility that what I am considering "watery" could be EW.
