    Yes! Some of my cycles I had it for 4. Makes it confusing and expensive when using OPK's. Do you get O pains? They could be your best clue if you aren't temping.

    Oh yeah I had it for up to 5 days pre 0 and then it turned creamy the day before O and then on O day. Thankfully I was using OPK's or else I would have assumed that I had Oed earlier

    Thanks for that ladies. I had no idea. So I may not of O'd yet? I think these Chinese herbs I have been on for the last 4 weeks are giving my body the best boost and the signs are showing.
    Raven I had a pain on cd 8 which got me thinking it may be O when I saw the CM. I have never consciously felt O though. After so many years of TTC I tend not to chart anymore - so unromantic and boring IMO when you are told natural conception is near impossible - but I think next month I will get back into it so I can try and work out what is going on.

    It has been clear coloured every day but the really open cervix is a new thing for me. So obvious.

    I usually always get it for 3-4days and then I O on the day it's gone for some reason. I'm not sure if O'ing at day 8 is a helpful thing or not though kwim? It just seems too soon. It will be interesting to see what the rest of the cycle does.

    Yep as Trillian said you will O more than likely on the last day of EWCM or the day after. Good luck hun, near impossible things have happened before.....
