Trying to Get Pregnant

CM Question

How often do you check your CM, internally?  I can usually spot it on the TP, but I want to be a little more consistent with it on the days it's not EWCM or watery.  I'm just wondering if I should check it maybe in the morning and after work or if I should be checking it every time I go to the bathroom.  TIA!

Re: CM Question

  • Twice a day. First in the morning, in the shower. Second, around mid-afternoon/early evening. I havent come across anything fertile yet so I am not sure its even worth checking twice a day.

  • I'm eager to see what others do, as well. i started being more diligent about checking CM this cycle and I pretty much check every time I go to the bathroom. If i actually O, i would imagine I would only check once a day after O is confirmed though.

  • I check almost everything I go to the bathroom. Just remember if you check more than once a day, record your most fertile CM.

  • I just check externally...usually whenever I go to the bathroom.

    I only check internally if I can't see whats on the TP. Even if it's not ewcm or watery I usually swipe the TP before using the restroom to see.

    If there is nothing on the TP I might check it internally but I have those trashy acrylic nails so I avoid goin in as much as possible

  • I check internally once a day in the morning right before getting in the shower.  If I notice something later in the day on TP, I'll check again internally.

  • Thanks.  I think I'll go with the morning and after work.  There's something a little naughty about being at work and checking myself out. Wink
  • I check my undies and the tissue every time I go to the bathroom.  I am thinking about starting to check internally next cycle, if I need to Wink. I find it hard to differentiate between dry and sticky, although I don't really know how much those days matter! I know what the good stuff looks and feels (eww)like.
