Tracking you cervical fluid

hoffmanr7

So I recently started using the ovulation tracking worksheet from the Bump but I am a little confused as to some of the stuff on there.....mainly tracking my cervical fluid.

Has anyone else used this particular "worksheet" or had a bit more experience tracking your cervical fluid that could help clear it up for me a bit?

I've been tracking mine for the last 5-6 months, I may be able to answer some questions for you

Tracking CM becomes easier the more you do it. I tend to check once a day in the early part of my cycle (after AF leaves) and then every time I use the bathroom as I get closer to ovulation, so I don't miss a fertile CM. You should mark the most fertile CM you see. Google some images of CM to get you started https://www.babycenter.com/101_what-cervical-mucus-looks-like-through-your-cycle_10351429.bc

Here's a list of least fertile to most fertile:
Dry 
Sticky or tacky
creamy
watery (fertile)
Egg-white (fertile)

It will make more sense, if you pair it with OPK results and temperature. After a few cycles, you will become more familiar with your own pattern. 
I hope this is helpful!

I was confused for a long time about tracking CM because I wasn't ovulating naturally, everything just felt gooey all the time.  Since 50mg of Clomid has been successful in helping me ovulate I actually noticed EWCM and watery CM. Once you get it, it's obvious.  I also noticed immediately how it changed the day after O.

Thanks.  @ReeseaAnne16 the photos were especially helpful. I am a very visual person and can't always grasp something unless I actually see it.
