Really TMI Question

So, I'm currently CD 10- and am awaiting ovulation. I've taken 3 OPK's the last 3 mornings and they've all been negative. I've never really paid attention to my CM, but now I feel kind of um wet down there. Do you think that could be CM? Or is CM always like egg whites?

Re: Really TMI Question

When you are about to ovulate, your cervical mucus gets "egg white" in look/consistency .. we have cervical mucus throughout our cycles , so determining the exact "type" of fluid it is will help determine whether you might be approaching ovulation or not.. it basically goes like this:

* Dry or sticky CM right after you get AF

* Creamy, also described as "lotiony" CM as ovulation begins to approach

* Slippery, stretchy like eggwhite CM during your MOST fertile days before ovulation (this is the time to start BDing!!)

* and then usually CM will dry up quickly after ovulation.. BUT it can again come back to creamy during the 2ww

Other symptoms that 'some' people get when they are ovulating is some pinchy/crampy/pain in the area where their ovaries are. (generally one-sided). But unfortunately, not every woman gets this..

Re: Really TMI Question

The first poster answered the question well. I will just add that I have read that a "wet" sensation is also an indication that you are close to O. (It accompanies the EWCM- egg white cervical mucus.) And that you should not only pay attention to your CM but also to the sensations you are feeling.
