CM - How do you check it?

Quick update - I have been put on herbs to increase my CM...
As such I have discovered that you can check internally as well as externally :rolleyes: apparently I was a bit slow on working that out.

What I wondered is how people identify their CM...
ie/ is it sufficient to check underwear or is internally a more accurate discovery?

TIA for your input.

Hey Sonya,
I just check mine before I go to the loo.
Sorry TMI!!! All I do is put my fingers a little way into my vagina and then see what the CM is like.
Hope this helps.
SAM :)

Thanks Sam, do you know if there is a best time to check the CM??

Howdy Sonya,
I don't think there is a best time to check it.
I read on FF that you should check it every time you go to the loo and record your most fertile CM.
So I guess if one time it seems sticky and another time it seems watery, that you record the watery CM.

Sonya - (TMI warnig)
I have to check internally, as I dont get any externally to check... (remeber to wash hands before)
I check every time I go to the loo when i think O is approaching...
And I look for my cervix, and get a bit from there...
I only check cp once a day though, at the same time every day, but with CM just go with the most fertile you observe in the day.
HTH

Oh thanks Ruf, it seems I have been a bit naive on this front, that really helps, will be trying that now on. Can't really check during the day or I'll be washing my hands constantly, lots of dirt and dust here.

Thank goodness for TMI I say, without it I would never have worked this out - silly me he he he.

hehe... I rekon that everyone here thinks I am OCD or something... Always in the loo and always washing my hands...eek. :rolleyes:
The things we have to do... :cryinglaugh:

Hi Sonya,
I check my cm internally everytime i got to the loo when it is approaching o time. I aslo everyday, once a day in the shower check my cervix position. I do this as i dont get alot of cm and i find it helps to comfirm where i am at tin my cycle.

Thanks Kristy, I feel like a bit of a drip, not having thought about this before... :redface:

Hi, I know this is an old thread but was hoping someone could advise on how to increase CM??? Many Thanks

Drink lots of water! Also, taking Evening Primrose Oil can help - you've got to stop once you've ovulated though.
