CM Question

in Trying to Get Pregnant

So, DH and I have been having tons of sex since we decided to skip OPK this month (I've never gotten a positive) and we don't want to make things too scientific too early in the process...

 Anyway, my question is how to tell the difference between CM and his sperm?  With having so much sex, I feel like I'm constantly full of that and can't really figure out what type of CM I'm having...

Help/suggestions/witty comments/snarky responses all accepted and appreciated. ;) 

BFP#1 1/31/11 ~ CK came on her due date, 10/10/11!
BFP#2 11/20/12, EDD 7/30/13 ~ heard heartbeat at 6w2d ~ mmc discovered at 8w
1st medicated cycle ~ 6/11/13 ~ Clomid ~ BFN
2nd medicated cycle ~ 7/12/13 ~ Clomid and trigger shot ~ BFN
SHG on 8/13/13 ~ uterus looked good!
Diagnosed with DOR on 8/16/13 ~ AMH 0.27 ~ repeat AMH 0.19
3rd medicated cycle ~ 8/9/13 ~ Femara and trigger shot ~ BFN
4th medicated cycle ~ 9/4/13 ~ Bravelle, trigger shot, IUI ~ BFP! ~ EDD: 6/11/14 ~ heartbeat of 118 at 6w3d ~ mmc discovered at 9w1d

    Kegels are your friend. Do kegels after sex to help get the excess sperm out. Also, if you really need to know if you've got sperm or EWCM I've heard a drop in a glass of water will help you determine- I believe how it goes is if it dissolves it's sperm, if it stays together it's EWCM. Someone correct me if I'm wrong on that!

    It made me smile that you are willing to accept and appreciate snarky responses. I think I like you.

    Seems to me that semen almost evaporates on your fingers when exposed to the air and CM does not. Also, try to wait 12 hours (if possible!) after having sex to check.

    *Edited for clarity. It's been a long day. Don't worry about my post, read the others. Their answers are better:)

    EWCM is usually just dangly, sticky and clear

    Sperm is usually cloudy and eww and smells funny
