to increase you CM will make you pee. A lot. Which makes it harder to check my CM.
That is all.
Sometimes at work, I have to hold it for a long time. By the time I have to go, the urge to pee prevents me from checking it before I pee. I can't sit, check CM, then pee.
A gift from my DD, urinary urgency.

I always check it after I pee. Maybe I'm gross... /shrugs/

I tried that. I can never tell urine from CM. I don't have a lot of CM anyway. *pouts*

Me too.
OP - do you only get watery CM? If so, I can see where that might preclude you from checking it very well. Do you check internally at all? (which if you did, I totally understand wanting to check it BEFORE you pee...I understand that grosses some people out)
I never get external EWCM, only internal. I have to take a lot of antihistamines, so that dry up my CM.
Same here.
I drink a lot of water (when I remember). And I check internally after I pee. Then I wash my hands.
You know what I hate about drinking so much water - the constant hand washing. I get so sick of having to put on hand lotion. Not so much that I don't wash my hands, but still it's irritating.

gardennymph:You do realize that if you are checking internally and it feels wet, it is not from pee, right? I just don't see how you are having trouble distinguishing pee from CM, if you are checking internally. Pee and CM come from different holes, yo. You can't stick your finger in your pee hole. HTH! ETA fixed an auto correct.
This. I don't see how peeing makes it harder to check for cm. I ALWAYS check after peeing. First I see if it's on the toilet paper when I wipe, and if not I will check inside if it's about time for ovulation (no I don't check internally every day!) It is easier for me because I get ewcm and it is nothing like pee (but a bit like semen) but I think even if you get watery cm you won't confuse it as long as you check internally. There's no pee inside your vagina.
jschwind22: I can't say I've ever had or thought of this problem before. I always check for internally, after I pee and after I wipe. Whatever fluids are hanging out by the cervix are CM, not pee.
All of this. OP unless you have some sort of medical problem that makes pee shoot the wrong way up your vag I don't understand the problem. Maybe you just need a little more practice checking?

Me either. You do not pee out of your uterus.

Thank god.
This confuses me.
I pee, wipe, then check internally. I mean, I guess unless you're air drying or not wiping well you can mistake pee for CM?? Maybe??

Some people might think this, Loki. I dated a guy in college (freshman year) that thought women had one hole for peeing/period/sex and another for pooping, instead of three "holes".
