CM checkers....

What would you mark this as? No "wet" feeling down under and nothing on my underwear yet, but checking internally there is SOME clear and stretchy mixed in with cloudy and thick. I don't feel like it's "watery" but it's not completely creamy either, it definitely stretches some.  I'm trying to really keep detailed track of CM since I started back up on meds (I did make a note in my chart though).  TIA!

    If it's anything like EWCM I would mark as such.  I always erred on the side of too fertile, just in case.  Though if it was barely stretchy I'd probably say creamy until it stretches at least an inch or more.  It's good to have the note in your chart though... sometimes I'd play with it if FF was confused about an O date and changing the CM type in hindsight made a difference in some cases.

    I was never able to rely on underwear, always had to do an internal check.  I'd only get a wet feeling if I was at the very very very peak of my fertile window (esp if I had had mucinex that day).

    I couldn't always rely on the wet feeling and though I had copious amounts of fertile CM, I didn't always see it on my underwear, so if you're having any clear stretchy, I'd mark it as fertile. Time to get. it. on?!?! :)

    I never charted when on drugs because they messed with my cm so badly.  And tmi but sometimes slightly stretchy and cloudy is leftovers from a recent tryst.  Is that possible?

    LOL, I freaking love your eloquence.  ;)  I don't *think* it could be, last time we had sex was friday night, and I checked Sunday internally and I didn't see it then.  :)

    I too adore the delicate use of the word "tryst"!

    Mine would always be cloudy, clotty just before the real EWCM.
