Another kinda Personal ?

How do you guys actually check for CM? Do you just wait and wipe and look when it is on toilet paper to test it or what. I know this is personal I am just learning how this all works.

Thanks for helping the CM Challenged

Hi: When it was abundant, I wouldn't have to go looking for it... there it was

. Otherwise, one way to check is inserting a clean, short-nailed finger into the vagina and seeing if you can stretch the cm between your fingers. If it's sticky, tacky, crumbly or like rubber glue, it's not really fertile. If it's lotiony or creamy, then it's quasi-fertile... and if it's like eggwhite -- stretchy and goopy and clear, then it's fertile

.

Hope that helps and I hope I didn't cause anyone's stomach to turn

I agree-great visuals!I usually have plenty on the tp to work with when I wipe during the most fertile time. If not, you do have to go searching-especially on clomid. Don't worry Maura-I think all of us have examined cm in our sleep so hopefully it doesn't make anyone's stomach turn

Good luck Ritz!!

I remember an abundance of it last week because I thought to myself wow this is alot for this part of the month. Then nothing for the past couple days or nothing showing even in undies. I did a 'little searching" and got a little but wasnt very much and it was stretchy but it broke really quick like only 1/2 inch stretch.

I never had to go looking either. It was on my tp and abundant. During the four plus years I wasn't trying to conceive I still got SO excited to see cm!

Conditioning I guess

Good luck!

I check my cervix, and I can also monitor it that way. I know, so much fun!!
