CM...Creamy, or watery??

[Butterfly_Princess]

Hey girls,
My CM for the past few days has been a bit confusing..it seems to be exactly what FF describes as water, just its not clear, its cloudy/milky/creamy, just really watery...
I dont know what to put it down as..Its not as if there isnt enough to make the diagnosis...i can actually feel it coming out, im just really stumped as to what i would put it down as. Hrmm
Any help would be appreciated, even if some one could re-write the descriptions of the different CM, because i seem to feel that FF's descriptions arent that clear...i seem to think 'creamy' and 'sticky' seem to be the same, just one is a tad more stretchy...

Sorry if its something really obvious...

TA - Hello you are finally upppp hmmmm. Us oldies went to bed too early last night, but we were up before you.... hehehe.
CM is annoying me lately, it may actually be really watery for me as well, always seem wet, but feel dry when I wipe. Maybe I am just leaking. hmmmmm TMI. As far as I know white cm is good. I hope it is a good sign for you hun..

TA - This will be way TMI, but I hope it helps you....
When my CM is creamy, it really feels just like hand lotion... Really smooth and creamy and cloudy and does not stretch at all, and might look a little clumpy.
My watery CM is a similar colour, but it feels slippery and stretches a little. Both of these types of cm (for me) do leak a little and I can feel it coming out too... But there is always more around the cervix, which is where I go to get a sample to check.
With sticky it will fell like creamy, but if you wave your fingers around a bit, and if it drys quickly and feels sticky then it is sticky.
Good luck hun.

Hehe ill bet DP doesnt get all of it, so he gets frustrated when he thinks its not going good...especially with the temping.

Hun - When you have been doing it a while, it will become second nature... But I hope you get your BFP before too long.
Good luck!!!!!

Hi

I remember reading all the different descriptions and thinking hmmmm none of my CM looks like that I must be weird

I noticed that just before I O'd, my CM is v v watery and cloudy not quite opaque..... how can describe it......eerrr.... like frosted window but still transparent. All the sticky, stretchy stuff, I can't honestly say that any of my CM would be what I would call stretchy but not sure whether that's because I imagine stretchy to mean almost like the kids plough dough

I just ended up buying a clear blue OKP and only had to use 2 of the 7 sticks to get a positive and got my BFP.

Hope that helps
