CM and TTC, this is blowing my mind. LO mentioned...

So before I had my LO I never really got a lot of CM.  After having him I would get a lot during ovulation.  Not trying to be graphic but I would get A LOT!  Now that we are actively TTC, it's disappeared.  I'm not sure if it's due to the fact we are BD'ing every day or what.  Has this happened to anyone else?  I just can't figure this out.  LOL.

I mean I did the ole finger test, just inserting a little and doing a grunt.  Hahaha.  It usually isn't even necessary for me to have to check bc it's very present.  I'm guessing maybe all the humping is making it stay up there?  IDK.  I'll give that a try though...

I'm going to echo what @cramcakes said - some cycles I notice every array of it throughout my cycle - other cycles I have to do a little more checking. Last cycle I made the mistake of relying on an OPK to determine when I think I was ovulating, because I thought (like a dummy) that I would SEE that my CM had gone EW - mistake. Just check a little more thorough and you should notice a difference.

Oh and for future reference - most women on this board are not a fan of the phrase "BD-ing" or "baby dancing" we are all adults here - you can tell us you are fucking your SO and we won't be offended

One finger is plenty for me. Good luck op!

This^  I've never had a problem before with just one and being able to see it.  That's why I'm so confused as to where it went this month.  Hmmm...

I'm kind of in the same boat, but it's probably my fault. I don't drink a lot of water most days. We're using Pre-Seed. It helps.

Another vote for drinking more water.  Especially since it's been warmer out and your body may be using it for other resources.

Okay, thanks.  I haven't been drinking a lot of water recently.  Hope this hasn't knocked me out for this month.  Guess time shall tell.
