TMI for sure, question about cm and sperm

I know this sounds gross, but I need you ladies to hang in here for this one lol.

When you have been FWP how do you tell what your cm is (if you're not temping because I don't temp).  Wouldn't the sperm that sometimes leaks out (gag) make you think that your cm is at a different stage than it actually may be at?  Sorry if this is a dumb question.

    Not a dumb question!!! I wonder that too, so I just wait a day or so to make sure it's cleared. I don't ususally count the morning after just in case.

    Why is this TMI?

    Anyway, If you rub it between your fingers and it dries it's semen, if it is stretchy and wet it's cm.

    Yes This isn't a dumb question. I used to confuse semen and my cm all the time! This topic is also not TMI. I think we discuss everything here. We've had ladies Bumping from their toilets, talk of fetishes and fav sex positions! lol CM is nothing :)

    Not TMI. I wonder the same thing. I guess experience helps, but I don't think I've gotten there.  Good to know about the rubbing between your fingers thing.

    In addition to the stretchy/wet test, you can also watch and see what happens when some drops into the toilet bowl.  CM will kind of stick together and semen will dillute almost immediately.

    I had to ask this same question a few months back - no worries!
