Question about EWCM (egg white cervical mucus)?

Question

Does EWCM occurr before or the day of ovulation? If before, about how many days/hours?

Answer 1

It starts to occur a few days before ovulation and last until the day of ovulation, or the afterwards. AS you get older, is usually decreases. I actually don't get it though, or at least I don't ever see it. I got pregnant with my daughter with no problem and hope it wont be issue this time around.

Answer 2

Monitoring the changes in cervical mucus is the only method that will not require looking back to the past few cycles for analysis, and also provide reliable results that you can trust when trying to conceive. You can do this yourself by getting a sample of your cervical secretions and stretch it between 2 of your fingers (the thumb and index finger) to test for the consistency. Examining the changes in your cervical mucus can help you pinpoint your time of ovulation and increase your chances of pregnancy. Before Ovulation (low chance of pregnancy): The first few days following menstruation, there will be little or no discharge present. You will feel dryness around your vulva. During this time, chances of getting pregnant are low. Approaching Ovulation (chance of pregnancy): The first discharge that does appear should be moist or sticky and should be white or cream in color. In the finger test, the mucus should break easily. You will only be able to pull your fingers about 1 cm apart before it breaks. During this transition time, first the mucus will become cloudy and slightly stretchy during the finger test (this means that it will still break before the fingers are stretched all the way). As time progresses, the mucus will become greater in volume. Right around ovulation (high chance of pregnancy): At this stage, mucus resembles egg whites. It is the thinnest, clearest and most abundant at this point in the cycle. Finger testing will allow the mucus to stretch quite a ways (several centimeters) before it breaks (if it breaks at all). ) The amount of this thin mucus will steadily increase until you experience your ‘mucus peak’. This is the last day of this period where the chance of conception is high. It is closely tied to ovulation. During this phase, the sperm’s survival rate is higher. It can survive in cervical mucus for up to 72 hours, a significantly longer time than during the rest of the cycle. After Ovulation (low chance of pregnancy): After ovulation, there is a marked change in mucus appearance. It returns to the sticky stage (does not stretch during finger test) and there is again a feeling of dryness around the vulva. One caution for this test is that sperm can be confused with the mucus secretions and you could make wrong assumptions. Also, vaginal infections, medication, and birth control can alter conditions and should be taken into consideration when examining any vaginal secretions.

Answer 3

it should start a few days b4 ovulation.
And thank u guys for ur answers... I think im pO already but didnt have this mucus, only creamy and watery ones... u gave me hope... i can still get pregnant even if i didnt have this EWCM :D

Answer 4

Just wanted to say that during the cycle in which I got pregnant I kept watching my cm, and It was never egg white like. It was during other months, but not in the month that I conceived. Interesting because I thought you had to have that type or something like it to have a good chance of getting pregnant.
