so now that I am keeping track..
I finished my period mostly on Sunday, Monday woke up with a little bit of remnant blood.
Tuesday, CM started... only on CD7. Isn't that early? It's continuing to progress and get slightly heavier.
I also usually have a pretty long cycle-- 34 days-ish.
Does this mean I probably ovulate closer to my period and have a long luteal (sp?) phase?
Anyway-- I know it's too early to really make any real conclusions. Was just thinking about it.

Re: so now that I am keeping track..
Is it EWCM or just CM? I usually start with CM pretty much right after AF, but don't ovulate for another week after that.

Re: so now that I am keeping track..
EWCM is when it gets stretchy, right?
I got some stretching action.

Re: so now that I am keeping track..
I looked back at my last chart, I started getting EWCM CD12, but didn't O until CD17. So, the point is, some women have longer periods of fertile CM (which is def. an advantage when TTC)

Re: so now that I am keeping track..
ahh ok... I am not doing any OPK's or anything yet. Just tracking my periods since now I am off the pill and CM & EWCM so I can have some IDEA of when I will be fertile and maybe have a clue when my next period will come.
ETA-- so the stretch indicates EWCM, correct?

Re: so now that I am keeping track..
Yes, so long as your sure it's not fluid from DH. EWCM won't break like semen will. It's stretchy - sometimes resembles eggwhite (mine never did, but was clear and stretchy). the stretchier the better!

Now that I'm looking for CM/EWC, it doesn't show up. Before when we weren't trying I had it all the time---strange

Re: so now that I am keeping track..
It would be abnormal to have a LP longer than 18 days I believe. Are your cycle very short? keep monitoring things this month. it took me a little while to distinguish regular CM from EWCM from semen..... It's such a great learning experience isnt it?
Also, an OPK is your best bet. It takes all the guess work out!

I think that watery Cm can also strech but EWCM is very stretchy.. a few inches. It can also be thick.. just like.. well.. egg whites..
But yeah watery CM is also stretchy

Re: so now that I am keeping track..
So once all the CM has stopped, you are past your fertile state, correct?

Most women will be dry on the day they O with little to no EWCM. I always got mine about 4 days before I O'd
