this is my first month charting, not sure when to expect O. i think i may have messed up my chart, the open circle is from waking up at 3:15 to go shopping on black friday, usually i temp at 5am.
i check it, before i had started charting my temperature i wrote everything down in a notebook, and looking back at it now, i've never had a ton of changes in it, except for the one cycle i drank green tea, i guess i should start doing it again (even though it's pretty gross). it's 99% of the time the same consistency (if that makes any sense?)
No evidence of O...how long are your cycles normally?

Our beautiful daughter was born in October 2009. Turns out she was quite the miracle. After two years of TTC, diagnosed with DOR. A couple of failed treatment cycles later, we decided to let go of our hope for more biological children and explore adoption.
Then I wouldn't worry...might be in the next few days. Good luck!

Its extremely rare for me to have EWCM too Jessie but track your cm because watery is also considered a fertile type of cm, not as fertile as EW but better than dry or creamy.
Dry: Record your cervical fluid as "dry" if you have no cervical
fluid present at all; if you notice no cervical fluid in your underwear; and
if the outside of your vagina feels dry. You can expect to see dry days both
before ovulation after your period and after ovulation. Record "dry" if you
are not able to gather or see any cervical fluid, even if your vagina feels
slightly moist inside.
Sticky: Record your cervical fluid as "sticky" if it is glue-like,
gummy, stiff or crumbly and if it breaks easily and quickly and if it is not
easily stretched. It will probably be yellowish or white, but could also be
cloudy/clear. You may or may not see some sticky cervical fluid before and
after ovulation.
Creamy: Record your cervical fluid as "creamy" if it is like hand
lotion, white or yellow or cloudy/clear, like milk or cream, mayonnaise or
like a flour/water solution. It may stretch slightly but not very much and
break easily.
Watery: Enter "watery" if your cervical fluid is clear and most resembles
water. It may be stretchy also. This cervical fluid is considered fertile
and this may be your most fertile cervical fluid or you may get it before
you get eggwhite cervical fluid or you may not get this type of fluid at all.
Eggwhite: This is your most fertile cervical fluid. Record "eggwhite"
if your cervical fluid looks at all like real eggwhite, is stretchy and clear,
or clear tinged with white, or even clear tinged with pink. It also resembles
semen (and has a lot of the same physical properties to allow the sperm to
travel and be nourished). You should be able to stretch it between your thumb
and index finger.
thanks for looking steeler, i am still a bit confused about the CM, it honestly just feels wet when i check it 99% of the time, today it was sticky, so i put that in, but i guess i was thinking of watery as just wet. i am a total newb to charting and will admit that i don't get all the differences of my CM yet, maybe because there doesn't seem to ever be much of a change? is that normal??
Re: my turn!
i haven't had any this cycle, i guess i need to start drinking green tea or something . . .
boo, oh well, thanks for trying!
i learn something new everyday! i'll add that in, it's not totally non-existent, it's just not creamy or egg white, at least not yet.
thanks again!
