Trying to Get Pregnant

Creighton Question

I'm learning Creighton, and I have a followup with my teacher in 2 weeks, but I wanted to get some feedback in the meantime.

What if I seem to have no external mucus? This means I can never do observation or finger test, and that I'm relying entirely on sensation, which ALWAYS seems dry.

Before using Creighton, I used to do internal checks and could always tell when I had EWCM vs less fertile types, and the fertile mucus always corresponded with my BBT-thermal indicators of ovulation, etc. How is Creighton supposed to be a better system or a more effective system for determining fertility if I can't detect anything?

Are there any tricks for getting the hang of external observation, and/or is it abnormal to have no external mucus (despite clear internal signs of fertile mucus)?

  • I don't know what creighton is, but have you tried checking after pooping?

  • ^that exactly. I never noticed it until the wise Borg told me this a few months back. Works great when I actually pay attention to CM.

    If I drink a TON of water, I see a vast improvement in CM without checking it though. You could try that as well.
