Hello,
so as the title suggests I had sex on cd 17 of 32/33. I've not had any EWCM that I've noticed.....if the sperm has made it's way up..should I still excpect to see EWCM?Or does it hang around up there? It's all very confusing. I know i'm in the right time bracket for ovulation...but i'm worried that without the EWCM the sperm will die!

Thanks in advance.

The EWCM will still appear as it's a hormonal response, it doesn't matter whether sperm are present or not.

Some women get more EWCM than others, personally I get very little - it may be present for a day or so but thete is very little so I have to pay attention!

EWCM is not essential for the sperm, it just makes things a little easier.

oooh thank you!
I feel a bit dodgy at the minute so hoping things are happening!

It's still 14 days before I'm due to come on so fingers crossed!

I' ve read on other threads that sperm dies in the hostile environment if there is no EWCM. Noooooooo!
