EWCM vs Leftover Semen (TMI?)

How the eff can you tell the difference?

We BD last night and this morning I had EWCM which I thought was just stuff from last night. I have it again now. How long after would semen show?

Not a clue, but this post makes me giggle like a school girl.  I'm so mature.  Actually, I would think man love would be in clots vs EWCM being stretchy and not so clotty.  How's that for my scientific answer?

Haha, I don't know how to tell, I don't think you can.

Should be gone by now though, I'm sure is EWCM.

LOL. Don't worry, I'm about as mature as a 12 year old boy.

Thats what I thought but just wanted to check with my experts.

I always struggle with this same thing. The only way I've learned to tell the difference is that EWCM tends to be much clearer and thicker. Which sound weird but I know personally I can quickly identify my EWCM for those reasons.

YES! It's definitely clear, stretchy and shiney. (does the shiny part make sense??)

Thanks ladies.

I'm so glad you asked because I was thinking the same thing this morning when I sat down to pee.  It was like it gathered and multiplied over night in there.  Strangeness.

Me too.  We BD last night.  Know mine's not EWCM because I'm only one day post AF.  Still having it now (sorry if TMI).  I think it's gross!

I can never tell the difference either!  In my case, the "man juice" stays with me for up to 3 days! so it makes it so hard to tell! I use OPK's just to be sure!

Next time you can do the water test too.  If you put it in a cup of water EWCM is supposed to ball up and sink, while semen is supposed to spread over the top of the water.
