i would count stringy as EWCM. cause it kinda looks like the uncooked part of a fried egg LOL! ewww sorry for the TMI

EWCM is basically around the time of O. sometimes you can get patches and i reckon ANY time that you see it, go for it, because it could be the time. usually after O it goes sticky, or dries up completely. then occassionally you can get more patches, but there is a slight consistency change (less opaque and more 'creamy').

HTH! it took me quite a few cycles to work out what 'my' EWCM was and the difference between that and sticky and creamy....but you get there in the end.
