Ok, so I've never got the hang of charting, and don't really know what the terms mean etc... so I just have one question.
I'm guessing that EWCM means egg white cervical mucous - is that right? And is this the egg white before cooking yes? LOL
So if you wipe and (TMI ahead!) you have stringy type mucous - is that EWCM?
And - my last question - does that mean its ovulation time or just before?
Yes, I did do sex ed at school, but they never covered these type of questions.. LOL
i would count stringy as EWCM. cause it kinda looks like the uncooked part of a fried egg LOL! ewww sorry for the TMI :rofl:
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.
Hmm. It was quite sticky? Like it was (TMI!!) kinda gobby, and I accidentally got some on my hand... and it sorta went from my hand to the toilet paper..... but the bastard wouldn't come off my hand unless I wiped it - like it was stuck there.. ROFL
Ahhhh who EVER thought I would be saying these things...
Lol AE- you're not the only one. I thought until about a week ago that you only got EWCM(pretty sure you're right re the acronym(word?)) when you we're UTD. :rofl: Shows how much attention I pay to my body...
ETA- :rofl::rofl: at getting it on your hand and it not coming off! This is better than the poo (DS's not mine lol) conversations I have with... Well a few people actually :lol:
OK - heres my uneducated reply !
Yep EWCM = Egg White Cervical Mucous
TMI - i find i get this when very close to O and also while Oing - starts out as noticeable when wiping then gets to the stage where there is enough to notice on my liner. I have even had enough in the past to have a long string of it from me to the toilet seat and across my hand while wiping (told you it was TMI) :lol:
If its clear and you can stretch it between your fingers and it doesnt really break then its EWCM but if its creamy and you can roll it around- bit like clag at school- but not stretch it then its not O time.
Bummer - ddint mean to hit post reply yet !
ETA - leading up to AF mucous dries up. After AF mucous is creamyish and turns into EWCM then becomes creamy again after O then dries up.
(well thats what happens with my weird body anyway)
Somewhere i have paperwork that explains all this really well...
Any reasons for your interest in ewcm hun ;) ;) ;)
Yah, I need to know :) That's my interest :) ROFL:
Thanks guys... I think...
pmsl @ Jahzara
EWCM is quite thin (like water but a little thicker) and stretches a long way. It can also easily be confused with sperm which tends to be more globby and sticky. If you have DTD in the last 48 hours or so, it could be that as well.
Mel, I get EWCM about 1-2 days before I O and maybe 1 day after. As everyone said it's stretchy and yep, like egg white in your undies, lol!
its fanny snot hon!!! gross..sticky, natural blue tack. Yep its at around the same time as Oing..so if you starting to notice the slush then either stop the party games ;) or start if your TTC.
Ive been having it twice in one month lately :sick: once aorund normal o'ing time and about 4 days before AF get's here....blastedly annoying..maybe im starting menopause
OK I have only got one thing to say
ewwwww
girls are gross ;)
Was wondering the same thing myself...:
Also with the EWCM if you ARE trying to concieve and are DTD alot then the way to tell when its EWCM and not ummmm DH products then DH bits arent stretchy like EWCM!
I have had 5 out of my 6 pregnancies by using this method of knowing my CM and 12years of NOT falling when i havent wanted! It works! We dont use any other methods!
Ummmm can i say goodluck?
:
:clap: LOL yelp and it gets SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much worse than this! :ROFL:
:tmi: Not listening :tmi:
baahahahahhahhahaha
we could start on all the stages of AF if you like ;)
LOL Maz you a norty girl
Did i tell you about the time.........................:
You also a norty girl
liver clots came out :D hehehheheh:
**** i just spat water everywhere HAHA what a funny description!!!!!:
:spit::jawdrop:
Bahahahahaha!!!! Definitely have NOT DTD in the past 48 hours... ROFL:
And thanks to everyone else - you've been most helpful :)
sounds like you were ovulating to me, best of luck with how ever you chose to use this information ;)
As for girls been gross, we really are arent we... BHL was only telling me the other day how he and his mates could always tell when girls were " on heat " ( his words not mine ) when he was in school as we would smeel different... BTW he was talking about girls having there AF not anything else, but at the time ( been only 14 or so ) they thought that meant we were on heat :rofl: I myself went to a all girls school so never noticed a smell could only tell when a poor girl leaked...
Urgh that was always my biggest fear at school... I was forever ducking into the toilets... poor teachers probably thought I had a bladder problem... LOL:
LOL me too, I always felt so bad for the poor girl, but at least we were all girls, it would be so much worse if you had boys around they wouldnt let you forget, while with girls your friends were always ready with a jumper to cover you up while you rushed off to the sick bay for a spare uniform... Thank God it never happened to me, it was a huge fear, still is expecally after you have a kid and your not sure when your first AF is going to show up, as you know she is going to be a biggie...
lol sorry way off topic...
OMG this is a hilarious thread. I have to tell you my story - when I was 13, I was walking home from school and was stopped by a lady walking past who told me to go to the toilet and check my uniform as soon as I got home (yes girls, I leaked) but me... being 13, having no idea, said Oh, yes, I dropped some iodine on my uniform in Science class (well, she just smiled).... this stain was a bit bigger (much bigger+++) than a drop of Iodine - I was mortified and am now so so paranoid each month.....
What was I thinking!!!
OMG! I still get paranoid!:
Thanks for asking this Q Arimeh. It was on my mind yesterday and hadn't had time to post. Very helpful thread.
Alan- Wouldn't you hear worse stuff in a maternity ward? I know when I had DD all the women were shockingly open and candid!
Crazylady
Not only do I hear worse but I also see worse.
I just like to pop into these threads and have a bit of a joke with the girls occasionally
Yes but in your mind Alan, you're just going "EWEWEWEW EWWYYYYY!" :rofl::
i second that!:
I also have my fingers in my ears and my eyes closed
hahahah! :rofl:
:tmi: <---------------alan hahaha:
Its even better when I am working with a student. I send her to do all the yucky bits
:rofl: @ Alan.
I have a question.... what if you are on the pill & are getting EWCM? (not ATM, AF isn't back yet, but I used to). Would that mean ....anything?....
