How soon before ovulation do you get EWCM?
Usually, you should get fertile egg white discharge for one or two days before you ovulate. These are your most fertile days, and if you want to conceive, have sex when you see it. It’s also possible to have EWCM for up to five days before ovulation. Or, you might get it for only one day.
Does EWCM mean I already ovulated?
EWCM usually indicates fertility and that you are close to ovulation. Women in their early twenties have more EWCM days than the women in their thirties. However, this might not be true for all women. But, women in twenties have 5 days of EWCM while women in their thirties have just 1 or 2 days of EWCM.
What causes EWCM before ovulation?
Cervical mucus plays a key role in conception. The hormone estrogen peaks just before ovulation. This causes cervical mucus to change from pasty or creamy to resembling stretchy, raw egg whites. This wet, slippery discharge makes it easier for sperm to swim up the vagina and into the uterus to meet an egg.
