Is this cycle a lost cause without fertile CM?

I'm a little worried about this cycle. I felt so confident about this cycle a week ago and now I'm back to obsessively second guessing myself. ?I'm pretty sure ovulation is approaching (in the next day or so) but I haven't noticed any fertile CM so far. I've been drinking enough grapefruit juice and green tea to choke a mule, but to no avail. I've had a little CM the last couple of days, but it has been so light, clear and hard to detect that I haven't even recorded it. From what I can tell, my temps seem to be right on target. Will fertile CM being MIA ruin my chances of conceiving this cycle??

    I'm right with you. I'm starting to worry that I'm not going to O. I have yet to get a + on an opt. I don't temp, but based on cm, I would think I'd already O'd. I've pretty well dried up today, so I'm scared that I missed my O or I'm on a really whack cycle... I'm so overly obsessed this cycle....

    My first time getting KU I had no EWCM, just scant watery cm. So don't give up hope.

    I don't ovulate all the time (PCOS) and when I do it's normally pretty late in my cycle, I use a fertility monitor and I have ovulated as late as CD 21 of a 28 day cycle. Very rarely have I noticed any EWCM upon O, if I were you I wouldn't let it get me down, it certainly doesn't mean you didn't ovulate. Good luck

    I've read online (and I don't know how true this is, it's just something I've read) that even though you may not have much visible fertile CM, you can still have some up in there where it counts. So don't lose hope!

    I hardly get any ewcm, I just get a lot of watery.  I'm starting to think this is part of the reason we're not getting pregnant.  Green tea didn't work for me, but last cycle I started drinking grapefruit juice and taking robitussin twice a day.  I saw some ewcm, but not a ton, so I'm going to do it again next cycle, it might take a few cycles to kick in.  Try robitussin or mucinex with the grapefruit juice, but you will probably have to wait until next cycle (if you don't get your BFP!) since you're too close to O right now.  Also, have you tried pre-seed?  I'm going to buy some of that for next cycle.
