I am having some ewcm after O--8dpo in fact. This is odd. Anyone else experience this? Is it an effect of low progesterone? It is a different quality than it was around O, but it is still stretchy--definite ewcm.

I have light EWCM every few days or so, Post-O. I hope it's not a sign of a progesterone problem, although I wouldn't put it past it.

I have had EWCM about a week after O before, these past few cycles it has been Creamy CM at that time. I believe it is caused by the rising estrogen levels at that point in the luteal phase. Does your temp also seem to dip on those days ? Mine tends to, I usually have a dip around 7dpo (check my chart in sig, you will see). I remember examining the TCOYF color coded hormone chart and seeing that estrogen does go up kinda high in the mid LP.

I have heard that pregnant women often get fertile CM in the 2ww

On a related note I was doing some FF research on implantation dip last cycle

and it says that 2/3 of the charts who show these temp dips are pg, 1/3 are not. They say that the dip might be caused by a secondary surge of estrogen that may occur mid LP. And they say that estrogen is higher in conception cycles than ovulatory ones. They also say the dip could be the effect of an implantation reviving the corpus luteum just as it starts fading out.

So, long story short I think it could be caused by estrogen and that it is normal.

It's also possible to get EWCF, or something like looks exactly like it, shortly before menses - that happened to me pretty often.

I have known borderline progesterone issues, with short (10-11 day) luteals, and did usually have some EWCF after O - don't know if any of those were related. Got pregnant anyway.

Thanks everyone. I guess it's normal. Either I haven't been looking at this point in my in the past, or something new and different is happening this cycle. I'm hoping the latter is true...

I sometimes get ewcm in the 2ww and it's always meant af for me. But I have heard women get it who were pg.
