getzystark do you think not having ewcm or watery cm effect my chances of conceiving? (Sorry if that is a seriously noob question lol)
Are you just recording if you see it on the tissue or are you either "reaching" for it or sort of doing kegels to "push it out?" If you're actually getting a sample of your CM everyday, it's better because you will see that change. I believe it's been posted before that a lack of CM does not necessarily hurt your chances of conception, however there's minimal research or evidence to say this either way. Of course the old "people get pregnant in all types of circumstances" is true in regards to CM as well.
TL;DR Mark CM everyday so you can see what is normal for your body. Lack of cm doesn't necessarily cause issues GKU.

I typically don't mess with it too much bc prior to having my Mirena out I had BV so I worry I'll irritate things (although I have not had one single symptom since having it out). Sometimes I start to check around what I think will be my FW and will definitely mark it if it's noticeable on the tissue. Since my CD11 ewcm I have been reaching each day to check it and it's all be "lotion" like.

Dude. I had BV or yeast every effing MONTH nearly when I had the IUD. I tried everything, probiotics, no lube, less sex, etc. Now, with no IUD, haven't had anything since.
I still recommend checking it daily, not just around your FW, that way you can see your pattern. You can also try kegels to kind of push it out, instead of reaching. What may be "watery" for some, may not be that way for you. If you notice a slight change from what you are calling "creamy" but it's not quite what you've seen has been called "watery" I'd make a note for a later chart and that may just be your type of "watery" CM. My creamy and watery are very close when it starts transitioning. Closer to the end of the cycle it's very typical creamy CM, but I never get the yellow-tinge or the sticky type.

It got to the point where I was getting it at least once a month and sometimes even TWICE a month! It really killed my sex drive, not to mention I started to get depressed about it. I tried everything too! Even the antibiotics the doc gave me didn't help. This didn't start until 2 years after I already had it and lasted at least a year, it was awful. I read somewhere that bacteria can build up on the device itself and cause issues like that but I read that online and it might not have been a creditable source. Once it was out though, never another symptom.
What are you doing to get KU? BBT, charting CM, green tea, PNV and sex.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: nothing right now.
GTKY: What was your very first car? Do you still have it/what happened to it? I had a Pontiac Sunbird that I used while my sister was traveling. Then I got my own which was a 95 Grand Am that I drove the shit out of. It finally crapped out in 07 and it had 311,000 km on it. It was a great car.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: nothing terribly exciting. DH sat with his laptop in his lap last night for a couple hours and then made a joke about not having to worry about getting me KU too quickly. I did not find this humorous.
GTKY: What was your very first car? Do you still have it/what happened to it? My very first car was a 2000 Saturn SL2. Actually DH bought it for me (we were engaged at the time), which was really sweet. She got me around just fine until this past summer when I sold her to SIL's boyfriend.
This is my first time posting. I've been lurking for a couple of months now back on The Dump but never had the balls to post or intro. So I hope you'll have me here. I promise I'm a bad apple!
Cycle/month: 2
CD: 2
What are you doing to get KU? Nothing at the moment besides PNV's. If this cycle doesn't happen, then I'm gonna start temping and charting.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Anyone else feels like their vag will fall out when AF comes around? Sounds weird, I know. I feel like there's so much pressure down there from blood flow that my vag will fall off. TMI?
GTKY: What was your very first car? Do you still have it/what happened to it? My first car was my mom's 1997 Honda CRV. She passed it down to me when she upgraded to another car. Not too shabby for a first car, huh? It went everywhere. I drove it for 8 years. My sister now has it as her family's second car to drive the kids around.
What are you doing to get KU? BBT, EOD sex, trying to drink more water.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: I woke up yesterday morning around 3am and couldn't get back to sleep until 6:30am because I pinched a nerve in my shoulder - literally any position I tried to get in was excruciating. Even though I woke up later, my temp still seemed in my normal range - rave! But, last night I had to take all these meds so I could sleep and had a huge temp spike this morning - rant! At least all this mess is happening this week and not during my FW.
GTKY: What was your very first car? Do you still have it/what happened to it? A 1993 maroon Ford Probe. And, yes, we called it the Anal Probe. We traded it once it was having issues starting.
What are you doing to get KU? BBT, CM, preseed, drinking lots of water, OPK, oh yeah sex
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Work is now calling FF website suspicious so I can't stalk any charts, boo!!
GTKY: What was your very first car? Do you still have it/what happened to it? 1st car was 1997 silver Ford Taurus. It felt like a boat, but saw some good times in college. It got passed down to my sister, and then my brother until the repairs got too expensive and it was donated. My parents had since divorced so my dad asked me to forge my mom's signature on the title in order to donate it. She was nasty in the divorce so it felt good to prevent her from getting any of the proceeds from selling it.
What are you doing to get KU? Occasional OPKs when I remember(I somehow managed to only use one last month, but it was a +!).
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Nothing yet. I'll start temping again in a day or two.
GTKY: What was your very first car? Do you still have it/what happened to it? 1995 Ford Escort LX. 5 months after I bought it, my friend hit me (in my car) with his F150 on accident. Totaled my car, his truck had a 1" ding.
Hope you guys don't mind. But I miss you too much to not pop in here.
Ill make some mods because I'm a spehyshal snowflake
Cycle charting #5 CD: 10 What are you doing? TTA currently. Tracking CM to know when we're in the "danger zone" and crack out the condoms. BBT to know when we're in the clear/when to expect shark week.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: rant is ovs that were trying to avoid. Also my titays are starting to get sore which means we're in Danger Bay and condom sex sucks.
GTKY: my grandfather left me his 92 GMC Sierra when he died. I drove the shit out of it and when it became too expensive to maintain I gave it to my cousin because my grandma wanted to keep it in the family. Then he sold it 2 weeks later. Thanks asshole.

What are you doing to get KU? Temping, PNV's, green tea, OPKs, ED sex during my FW... plus whenever the mood strokes.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Just found out my sister is pregnant today... I didn't even know she was trying! She is private about those things. She is very emotional right now, though because she had been trying to wean herself off of her antidepressant (I think she takes Selexa). She's down to 10mg and feeling sick, and super depressed. Not even letting herself be excited about her pregnancy (even though it was wanted and planned). I just feel sorry for her! I am planning to stay on my low-dose anti-depressant during pregnancy, because the risks outweigh the benefits for me...
Anyone else have any experience with antidepressants and pregnancy? I know there are a lot of mixed opinions out there.
GTKY: What was your very first car? Do you still have it/what happened to it? My first car was a 2004 Chrysler Sebring, and I am still driving it to this day! Its seen better days though. Its on my to-do list to treat myself to a new car!

Cycle: 3
CD: 21
What are you doing to get KU? BBT, preseed, sex, CM
Rants: my third day off from work. Woke up at 5am when H left for work. Totally forgot to temp then. Fell back asleep around 9am and woke up at 430pm. Totally forgot to temp because I was mad at myself for sleeping all day. Don't know how much longer my body can take working nights!
My very first car was a 98 Jeep Wrangler. Best car ever! Had it up until last April when I traded it in for a 14 Jeep Wrangler. My dream car.
What are you doing to get KU? BBT, waiting to stop bleeding, planning to use OPKs
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Nothing really, wish this cold would go away.
GTKY: What was your very first car? Do you still have it/what happened to it? First car that was really mine was a red '99 Ford Taurus. It got me through college and then we replaced H's car and he got the Taurus while I ended up with a new one. It died 3 years later and we sold it to the junkyard.
What are you doing to get KU? Temping until CD14 then will start OPKs. BDing, of course. Trying not to stress.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Nope
GTKY: What was your very first car? Do you still have it/what happened to it? I had my parents' old toyota. I had it until I rear ended someone when it was 14 years old, and the little damage it had meant it was totaled. Oops.
What are you doing to get KU? BBT, E3D to EOD, OPKs are in the mail.
Rants/raves/chart stalks: Nothing really. Another glass of wine please.
GTKY: What was your very first car? Do you still have it/what happened to it?
97 Chevy Monte Carlo with DMB license plates. Love her. She lives at my husband's fathers house by the garage. Never been in an accident. (Knock on wood!)

I hope your sister can manage her meds for a happy pregnancy. That must be tough. My sister is also probably TTC but we have a challenging relationship so she is probably competing with me to GKU first since we both got married last year. Kind of takes a little joy out of it knowing I would have to deal with her drama.
