No CM?
Hey girls
This is my second month off the pill and I have not noticed any CM yet. Has this happened to anyone else? Do I just need to give it time?
Thanks!

Re: No CM?
I don't really have EWCM.....
I just get creamy (sorry if it's TMI... LOL)
I use pre seed when we BD around O time... hasn't helped yet, but then again my cycles are ridiculous...

Re: No CM?
redstar told me that something that increases CM is carrots or carrot juice. Maybe that will help?

Re: No CM?
Baby carrots, evening primrose oil,alfalfa, green tea all improve the quality of cervical mucus. Water will give you 'more' mucus. You need to drink a lot of water during O time.
You may not be checking for cervical mucus properly. The correct way is to swipe your cervix and see what you get. If you are completely dry, than, definitely drink more water. If you have mucus, but it's very thick and not stretchy, during O time, sometimes robitussen can help.
Your cervix is very high during O time, you can hardly reach it. I find the best way is on the toilet. If it takes your entire finger up to the last knuckle to find it it's probably a very fertile time. If it's high and soft and open, you will probably have ewcm. If your cervix is easily felt, (middle knuckle it's low) and pretty firm like the tip of your nose....you probably won't find much ewcm.
But just like Dina said, if you still get nothing or a sparse amount use pre-seed when you bd.
