how much ewcm is not enough?

Just curious. I read a lot about pre-seed, etc on this board and was wondering how much ewcm do you have to have before it is considered enough. I only have about a dime size amount for 1-2 days every month. Is that enough to conceive? or should I try PRe-seed?

Thanks, GL to all.

Is that on your underwear or when you wipe. Just because you can't see any externally doesn't mean you don't have any internally. You probably have enough if you see any at all. I hope this helps you. Unless you need some for a lubricant what you have would probably be enough to conceive. As far as the preseed, it won't hurt anything if you use it. Hope this helps.

That is only when I wipe, and a little "digging" (sorry if TMI!!). I don't feel that I need any while BD'ing, though, so that is good news. I guess there may be more internally than I realize. I don't like to check internally, though, because I am afraid of "messing things up" in there or pulling out what I do have.

I'm not sure how much you need, but this month my best bd day would have been when my OPK said positive and I had EWCM. Unfortunately (so I thought) we didn't get to bd that day. The next day, I still had a + OPK but I felt really dry, like my progesterone had already kick in and started drying me up. Well, we bd but I really thought it was too late. Ends up it wasn't. We're pg this month. I'm waiting on results from blood test, but had 3 + hpt's. So, I would say there is more internally than you know. (I don't check internally either.)

Good luck
