That's what I've been told before (about lots of EWCM mean the body is trying to O but not quite getting there). I had endo removed in March and the surgeon said my baby making bits were pristine but I have been wondering about hormonal imbalances as my O days are quite variable. I know I shouldn't use google to self diagnose but I have been reading a fair bit on Luteal Phase Defects

I did ask this on Fertility Friend too but for some reason my question has been lost in cyber space ]]> Wed, 16 Jul 2008 20:46:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=441702&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#441702 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=441517&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#441517 Author: Vanillabean

I've read that if you have several days of EWCM it can indicate a hormonal imbalence like PCOS because your body gears up to ovulate but never quite gets there. However, if its just a one-off its probably nothing to worry about.]]> Wed, 16 Jul 2008 18:35:15 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=441517&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#441517 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=440691&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#440691 Author: TraceyA

I get EWCM from about CD10 onwards, it just keeps increasing in volume until after I've ovulated.]]> Wed, 16 Jul 2008 07:33:05 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=440691&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#440691 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=440452&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#440452 Author: mummyofprinces

I think its a good thing, the more EWCM the longer those little guys can survive (up to 5 days of course).

I dont think you need to do anything about it. Have you had a cold and taken a cough mixture of the expectorant variety? That could be the culprit.

I am also thinking I might be having a marathon EWCM cycle.. Mine started about CD7 and I dont normally ovulate until CD23-28..... Fingers crossed its the sign of early ov!]]> Tue, 15 Jul 2008 19:52:45 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=440452&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#440452 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=440210&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#440210 Author: AngieBabe

Does sound like EWCM, but I wouldn't be too worried... would've thought having it for a longer time would be a good thing - theoretically fertile a greater time and more of a chance of sustaining swimmers for longer.

definitely NOT remnants of swimmers lol We're using protection until we start TTC

I'm 100% sure it's EWCM. It's clear and slippery and stretchy]]> Tue, 15 Jul 2008 15:19:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=440169&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#440169 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=440151&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#440151 Author: GuestGuest

Sounds like quite a long time but as Megs says it is better to have more than none at all! I wouldn't have thought there was anything wrong that would mean that you should see the dr.

Are you sure it is EWCM?

I get it for around 4-5 days in the middle of my cycle and then it changes to watery. Maybe it is difficult to tell the difference? Or could it be remnants of swimmers? ]]> Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:58:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=440151&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#440151 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=440150&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#440150 Author: FionaS

I'm sure it is fine. The month I got pregnant I had major EWCM for 8 days. I definately get that from time to time. ]]> Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:58:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=440150&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#440150 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=440131&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#440131 Author: mummymegs

EWCM is a really good sign, at least better than not having any at all. I also get EWCM really early on and even in the LP phase, it might just be the colour that differs a bit. I think/hope that it is normal.]]> Tue, 15 Jul 2008 14:38:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=440131&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#440131 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=440065&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#440065 Author: Two Blondinis

I've had EWCM since CD10 (I'm now at CD17).

I've been using OPKs since CD11 to see if I was actually ovulating ridiculously early (I usually ovulate between CD16-18) - all have been negative until CD14 when it started to get that fade in you get where there is a line but it's still lighter than the control line.
Last night I got a positive OPK result

BUT... why would I get EWCM for that long?
Should I go see my GP or make an appointment with a specialist? (what type of specialist? a gnae or a fertility spec?)

Do you think being super clucky can have an effect on your CM? On CD10 I was at Chiarra's birth and as ridiculous as it sounds, as Emma was in a lot of pain, I would have given almost anything to swap places with her ]]> Tue, 15 Jul 2008 13:32:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19157&PID=440065&title=ewcm-how-much-is-too-much#440065
