How many days of EWCM?

harborview

I'm on day 8! It seems like too long a period. I thought average was 3-5 days.

Everyone is different.

Umm, thanks captain duh.

Dr.Loretta

What exactly do you want me to tell you? Some people have EWCM off and on throughout their cycle. Some have none, some have a lot. So you had 8 days of EWCM. It's not like there's something wrong. It happens.

::chiming in:: I am lucky to get one day.

Not only is everyone different, every cycle is different. I got one day of EWCM this cycle, and I haven't seen any for months.

I usually have 8-10 days of EWCM.

I have no idea if that is problematic or not.  I do have late ovulation and am learning that may be linked to some issues.  Haven't had any testing done, but I am pretty overweight (which can lead to excess estrogen being stored in the body, which could mean delayed O and longer fertile phases).

No need to be rude to someone trying to help you, btw.

Trying to help? Let's be serious. Oh and doesn't mean something's wrong? Um, I've been through 2 fresh IVFs and 3 FETs, oh and 4 IUIs. After charting for 1 year. Did I mention my 3 CPs? No? Don't assume things because you don't see a ticker.

I was trying to ask if this was indicative of a problem, or something normal people get before they ovulate.

And anyone reading your first post was going to know all of your TTC history by looking at the adorable pic in your sig? Chill out a bit. You could have easy explained why you were asking with a follow up/edit and you might have gotten more info that you thought would be helpful...

but you didn't outright ask that in the OP did you.  It was more of a statement.

Whoa WTF??? Guess what - regardless of how many issues you have now, you apparently have at least one child, which is more than many people here. That's more than me. That might be more than I will ever have. That being said, I don't know of any issues EWCM indicates other than fertility. If you think there might be a problem, talk to your doc and stop being a douche. Don't consult an internet chat board.
