EWCM or sperm How can you tell the difference, between the two. I checked just now it was really…

I don't really know. Haha I know that doesn't help. I was actually wondering this same thing this morning!

If it was several hours ago. I would say it most likely wouldn’t be semen. Your body heat would basically turn it into watery liquid if there was anything left in there. It’s most likely CM.

@britt thank you I wasn't sure both my apps say I'm supposed to ovulate Sunday , so will just bd the next few days.

Rub it between your fingers. Cm will stay smooth, semen will get dry and crumbly

I was pondering this a few days ago... here’s what I found!

Here are some ways to tell the difference between EWCM and Semen

EWCM is stretchy: EWCM is very elastic. If you put it between your fingers, it will stretch without breaking apart. Semen, on the other hand, doesnt stretch and will break apart if you put it between your fingers and try to stretch it.

EWCM is slippery and clear: While semen may feel slippery as well, it looks white and cloudy. Not clear, like EWCM. EWCM is more transparent and feels very slippery.

EWCM does not absorb easily: If you look at the toilet paper when you use the bathroom and notice mucous on the toilet paper, you can tell if it is actually mucous by waiting a few minutes. If it is semen it will quickly absorb into the toilet paper, whereas EWCM generally will sit on top of the toilet paper.

EWCM will form a ball in water: When you go to the bathroom, let the mucous drop into the toilet water. If it turns into a ball and sinks, it is most likely EWCM. If it dissolves into the water, it is most likely semen.

Also semen liquifies, so it should be watery by the next day. I’d say what you have there is EWCM. Always err on the side of caution and just assume it’s EWCM and continue to BD ??

HTH! Good luck ?? ✨

Thank you so much, I agree as I was reading earlier that EWCM shows up a day or two before ovulation which would make my apps accurate at least. As they say ovulation on the 18th
