Question re: CM

OK I just have a question...when you cart your CM...after you O your CM usually dries up (always been the case for me). When you show on the chart that the CM was "dry" or "none" does that mean to you that there is no CM at all - like if you check there is nothing there? Or is it still like a light CM or lotiony CM? I know this is a basic question, I just wanted to know how you all charted this.

Re: Question re: CM

I put dry of nothing is there. Otherwise I will put creamy

Re: Question re: CM

OK follow up to my question...how do you check CM? with your finger or with toilet paper?

Because Ive noticed there is a lot more there when not using toilet paper to check.

God I feel like a newbie!!

Re: Question re: CM

I check when I am checking the position of my cervix - so fingers would be my answer

Re: Question re: CM

See the reason Im confused is this: I usually just check with TP and its always "dry" CM after I O. This month, I decided to check without TP and there had been lotiony type CM every day. Not too much on the TP itself when I wipe but when I check without the TP, there is a lot...just seems to be staying 'up there' - and Im wondering if this is something different for me this month or if this is the norm for me and I never noticed before because I was always using TP.

Re: Question re: CM

I thought the same thing, cause I always checked with TP before. Since I have been checking this way - I have noticed the same thing with CM being creamy for about 5 days after I O. So I have a feeling that has always been like that and I never knew it before.

Re: Question re: CM

Ah hah!! Well at least we're in the same boat!!

Re: Question re: CM

True

Re: Question re: CM

I'm going through the same thing. This month I am still seeing lotiony or EW CM after I O'd.

BUT since I'm not sure I've O'd before I can't really compare to other months!!

Re: Question re: CM

I put it as dry as in nothing at all..if theres ANY I put it another way...

P.s WHOS KITTEN IS THAT???? You didnt tell me you got a kitten?
