EWCM Question

How long after O do you usually get EWCM? I am 5 DPO and have had EWCM ever since. This is my first cycle really paying attention to CM and relation to ovulating. Just wondering if this is normal. Thanks.

My CM usually dries up within a day or so and then I get more again close to my cycle starting. I think most people dry up fairly quickly. Are you sure you o'd already? Are you sure it is egg whitish?

This wasn't a stupid question at all.

I'm pretty sure I O'd on Nov. 3. That's when EWCM started, and I had ovulation cramps. I was also high and soft and all that. I dont have as much EWCM as on that day, but still some. Actually today it is now more creamy than anything. Maybe it was from O day, just never came out and hung out up in there? Sorry I'm new to this sorta. I have been checking my CM for

No question is silly! That's why we are all here to help and encourage and educate each other on this journey!! Ask away! There will always be someone to help you out!


As for the EWCM, I usually notice a tiny amount the day or so before I O, and then the y day I O and the day after I have a lot more. It tapers off to sticky then creamy for me. It is great that you are concentrating on this! The more in touch you are with your body, the more you know your cycle and the better your chances are to conceive. All the best to you! Ask as much as you want, I do!!!!

It sounds like what you are noticing is creamy CM, not EW. Creamy CM is white and less stretchy than EWCM, and it is normal to have this occur after O.

Don't be silly! Its certainly not a stupid question don't forget this is probably like a hundred th question asked on here haha. I've been watchin that too. But last time I remember with my 2nd I noticed I was more wet after O then found out I was pregnant. So maybe there's a chance u are. But right now im unsure of it cuz we are ttcin so I might just drive myself crazy with imaginations :-P I see ure cd 22 ure close to mine when is ur period due?

So I'm thinking it was creamy instead of EW. Thinking back the EW was really stretchy (tmi) and the creamy looked
