FF VIP? And CM ?
JuliaH21

Those of you that have VIP membership, what do you think? I have 11 days left of the free trial and while I don't think I'll get the membership, I'm wondering if it's spoiled me more than I'm realizing and will really miss the perks.
My CM question is not really a problem, just something I'm a little confused about. I'm 9 dpo and leading up to O it was pretty easy, my CM went from sticky to creamy to watery. After O it's stayed at creamy and there seems to be more of it than leading up to O. I am breastfeeding so I know that can have an affect, but I thought that was more about the amount in general. I always drink lots of water and am thinking I'll start taking EPO next cycle to try to get more leading up to O, I'm just wondering if it's more common than I thought for people to keep producing a fair amount of CM after O. Everything I've read says it (typically) dries up pretty quickly after O. I guess I'm wondering if it's worth monitoring other things to see if I can figure out what is going on (okay, so I just started charting and am pretty excited to 'de-code' all these mysteries about my body).

Re: FF VIP? And CM ?
I love my FF VIP. But I wouldn't pay for it until it goes on special on FB. That's when I paid for it.
As far as CM goes - I always have CM after O. I acutally get a couple days of EWCM after O. It's really weird. After that, I turn to creamy until right before my period. I think you're normal. I don't know many people that "dry up" after O either. The only dry spell I usually have is right after my period.
EDIT: Format.
lots of

I used FF VIP for about a year and really liked it while I was learning charting and figuring out my cycles. After a year I felt like I didn't really need it anymore.
I have a similar pattern to you. I get lots of creamy CM after O. Totally normal! Good luck!

As for CM, I think everyone's body is different. I also notice mine changing from cycle to cycle. I definitely don't completely dry up though, and if I do, I have noticed it's for a day or so and then I get a lot of creamy throughout the 2ww.
After my free trial ended, I did upgrade to VIP because I really liked it. I definitely could be fine without it, but I enjoy the counting of DPO, the symptom tracking, etc.
