This all sounds to me like a problem of description-- one of those "you say potato, I say pohtahto" kinds of things. I think it's like eggwhite, you think it's wet and clear... I think it's sticky, you think it's creamy.

I've had the same problem, actually-- what people describe as "EWCM" seems to me just really, sorta, well, clear and runny. Not as "stretchy" as it seems like it shoudl be, from others' descriptions. And I've never had sticky, just creamy. So I'm with you.

The important thing, IMO, is to learn to identify your own fertility signals. If "wet and clear" (as you define it) coincides with +++ OPK and BBTs, well, wet and clear is your eggwhite cm.

Don't worry so much. (I'm fertile as a rabbit - I get pregnant just by THINKING about it.)
