    EWCM but no AF?

    Is it possible to have EWCM but no AF? Would it mean somehow ovulating without AF? I'm still breastfeeding DD and AF has not yet returned. But for the last few months I've noticed quite a bit of EWCM - almost more than when ttc, even DH has noticed it!

    Any ideas what this means? Is it normal to have this?

    No answers kaytee, but would love to hear others. I'm in the same boat. Along with af type cramps, but no af.

    If af hasn't returned pp yet is say its gearing up to soon, completely normal. Often get multiple patches of ewcm and not necessarily O. Having said that if you DON'T want to get pg be sure to be keeping an eye on and preventing however you choose to because it would be possible to O pretty much anytime now... HTH

    PS my dd1 is in the world because I ignored ewcm while bf 4 month old ds coz I thought I'd certainly have at least one anovulatory cycle before getting back to normal.... Nope!!

    As Mrsbaj said, EWCM doesn't necessarily mean O. But it does stound like your body its getting ready so it may not be far away.

    Thanks girls - I guess I'd better stop forgetting the pill then lol. It's been nice not having AF every month for so long, but I think I'm actually going to welcome her back - I can get prepared for ttc later on and it'll be kinda good to have that monthly confirmation that everything is working properly!

    Yeah I just keep forgetting to take it lol. It's hard to feel like you need it when there's no AF or anything. I wouldn't be upset if I got pregnant now, but the timing isn't great.

    How strange WM! I actually dreamt last night that I got AF and I was so excited Never expected to ever get excited about AF but in the dream it was nice to know I'd be ready for ttc when the time comes. But anyway, no show today. I really feel like it's not far off though.

    But, hooray for you and knowing what's going on with your body!
