Rubber Cement CM?

[Phantaja]

I'm not trying this month, but start meds at the start of next cycle for IUI. A couple of days ago, around O, I noticed that my fertile CM was less like egg white and more like rubber cement. It was thick and came in globs, but still had good stretch. It bounced right back though when I pulled it apart.

Is this normal? Could it be that I'm dehydrated which is why it's not very runny? It was weird.

Sometimes my eggwhite CM is like that, and if I start guzzling water it seems to get runnier/thinner within a few hours. So, yeah, maybe dehydration! Good luck.

Mine is usually pretty globby too. But I'm freq dehydrated

lots of water, and try green tea (not with milk, but lemon is good,) grapefruit juice, baby carrots, and maybe robitussin if it doesnt get better. if you eat a lot of dairy, you might want to cut back.

Ahhh...dairy! I've been eating ice cream and cereal by the truckload lately!

Is dairy bad for CM?

[karmab]

yeah. dairy can thicken cm, in the same way it can do that to like nasal congestion. nasal mucous is not all that different than cervical mucous in that way-

Very interesting. I sometimes get a stuffed nose when I consume dairy. Maybe I should avoid it around O time.
