Question

EWCM vs Female arousal (orgasm)

What's the difference? If your body lubes itself up, and at the "end" you have ewcm like stuff that stretches (at any point in your cycle) does it help sperm travel? I've been trying to look it up....no one ever got to the point. I guess it was TMI for some people lol. I have only recently discovered this dilemma, so I ask you....does anyone know?

EWCM is only present during ovulation, so even if you have what looks and feels like EWCM during/after sex, it means nothing unless you're actually ovulating. You can't get pregnant if you're not ovulating (or near the time of ovulation), even if you have EWCM at other points in your cycle due to arousal. Keep in mind the pH of the cervical mucous changes around the time of ovulation too, so even if you have EWCM during sex, it won't really help sperm travel anywhere because the pH isn't yet favourable.

Hi, so glad you asked this question! I noticed this recently and it had me confused on whether I was actually ovulating or whether it was just the remnants of the bd!!! Anyway the ovulation test cleared things up. Good luck and baby dust to you!
