Question about CM

May · #1 (**permalink**) 04-30-2007, 11:31 AM

I have been charting for a few months and I still am having trouble with figuring out which is watery CM and which is egg white.
I am looking at fertility friend (again

) trying to figure out the difference.
This is what it says...
Watery: Enter "watery" if your cervical fluid is clear and most resembles water. It may be stretchy also. This cervical fluid is considered fertile and this may be your most fertile cervical fluid or you may get it before you get eggwhite cervical fluid or you may not get this type of fluid at all.
Eggwhite: This is your most fertile cervical fluid. Record "eggwhite" if your cervical fluid looks at all like real eggwhite, is stretchy and clear, or clear tinged with white, or even clear tinged with pink. It also resembles semen (and has a lot of the same physical properties to allow the sperm to travel and be nourished). You should be able to stretch it between your thumb and index finger.

Wouldnt that mean that they are both stretchy and clear?

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I hate be to be gross but its the obly way that I can make a clear picture....

Eggwhite cm jiggles and stretches... as far as color mine is always clear with alittle white cloudyness to it.

watery cm feels like you kind of peed your pants but it just makes your underwear wet ... you won't see the jigglies

hahahah watery is also slick between your fingers... sort of like lubricant.

I hope this helps!

I check mine at the cervix as well as in my underwear, and I agree with Milesmommy about the jiggling!

So if you check at the cervix, watery is clear and not very strechy, maybe only an inch. Where as eggwhite is slippery and streches a lot and is usually very plentiful the day of O! (In my experience!)

EWCM is very stretchy and thick. I get a lot (gobs) of it near O.

Watery isn't so stretchy. Its thin, and well...watery feeling.
