i just have a quick question for you ladies. does "arousal fluid" act the same way as ewcm? could it possibly help sperm the same way that ewcm does? i know its easy to mistake one for the other so i was just curious.

Yes, it does act the same way.


Think of it like a river... if it's dried up the fish won't be able to pass. The more water (or in our case ewcm) the better. Some women have very little ewcm to begin with so preliminaries for bd

I recently ordered a tube of preseed but it may not be here in time by the end of my cycle (I should O within the next 2 days, line is getting darker). I had a question though, can you use plain water to aid in moisture, or can it harm the sperm? What about distilled water i was thinking or bottled spring? I just thought perhaps some tap water has too many chemicals in it at times, where I live they add a lot of sulfur to it so we don't really drink it. Anyone tried bottled/distilled water for helping in moisture? We know not to use saliva/other lubricants *Tmi* so we steer clear of that. Sorry for hijacking your thread, the question just popped up while I was reading your Q!

I don't see how water will help.

Hello,
With everything I have read. Water is not good for the little guys to swim in it will only slow them down. I picked up Pre-Conceive plus (local Pharmacy $18) which is almost the same as preseed. (conception friendly lucbicant)
Good luck

i don't think water would do the trick & would probably harm the sperm.

Hi again,


Water will definitely NOT help. (The river thing was just an analogy).


Think of when you get out of the shower and your skin feels dry after water has dried itself. Water actually WASHES

I also read a post on here recently about other girls who have been drinking V8 splash juice and they all claimed that it helped improve the quantity of cm...I decided to try it and boy are they right I know tmi but hey it works so there is another idea for you. I just drank a cup in the am and 1 at night! Water also helps produce more cm so it is great to drink lots of water as well!

    This has nothing to do with CM.
