EWCM isues....

This is our second cycle trying...last cycle was the first time I ever really paid attention to all this "stuff" - temping, OPKs, CM, etc. I wasn't as diligent with the CM, though, and rarely charted it because I just didn't notice a lot of it. When it was there, I wasn't exactly sure what type it was....and - TMI alert - the type that I noticed most was "creamy". I don't know if I've ever seen that EWCM that everyone talks about. Also, I didn't have enough of it on my underwear to really check to see how stretchy it was. I tried (God, this is embarrassing!) to check inside for it, but I just never had enough to stretch out and what I did get whenever I did that just seemed creamy.
Last cycle I thought I had one day of EWCM, but now I'm not sure.

Soooo....

1) I was reading that V8 Splash seems to help. I have some in the fridge but haven't really been drinking it yet because I'm not crazy about it. Does it really help??

2) Has anyone had any experience with Preseed? (or Pre-seed?) Can this help women who don't have a lot of EWCM? Can you only buy it online?

Thanks!

I'm right there with you. I don't have a lot of the fertile EWCM, and when I have it's only been one patch. I actually think I had way more CM in general when I was on bcp...go figure! I notice that a lot of my CM is the creamy consistency as well. It is entirely possible that you are not producing the fertile stuff. Remember, though, that EWCM is

Thanks!! I'm actually at CD 14 now, so I'll start drinking the V8 Splash now....last month I O'ed on either CD 18 (according to FF) or CD 19 (according to what I think) so maybe I still have time between now and then to produce some good CM. It's nice to know I'm not the only one out there who's not noticing the EWCM!

I used the V8 Spalsh last cycle and noticed EWCM, and I hadn't had any since going off the pill in October.

I started drinking V8 Splash mid-cycle last month and noticed a difference right away. I think that anything you can do to increase the EWCM you produce will be more helpful in the long-run than using Pre-Seed, but that's just my opinion (based on the fact that CM is constantly being produced, while Pre-Seed is only added when needed--of course this is the most opportune time, but I don't know how long it stays in the body). Pre-Seed can be purchased online or at some specialty stores and it is certainly worth using if you experience any dryness with BDing.
