CM question (tmi warning)

[Melbournemumma]

So I was just having a shower and noticed an abundance of ewcm, the good stringy stuff too. The problem is I'm due for my af in 8 days. Should I be having ewcm like I'm ovulating now????? This would mean the time after o is only 7 days

[Elocin]

I would've said that you are due to O now...

When did you *think* you ovulated? Have you already had EWCM this cycle?

[Melbournemumma]

I had some last weekend and thought fantastic dh i actually home that was about day 16 of what is normally about a 30-34 day cycle :scratches head:

If I'm ovulating now I'm really confused

[Melbournemumma]

Oh and just to further confuse the issue I had some light cramping on Monday and a little bit on Tuesday

[Mum22]

Have you been temping? That would be the only way to know if you ovulated earlier or are still yet to ovulate I guess.

[Melbournemumma]

Yeah haven't been temping been trying not to get too obsessed with the whole ttc thing, but I think I'm gonna have to start temping.

[Mum22]

I suppose jus treat it as O in case it is and next month temp so you can tell yourself it is just EWCM unrelated to O cos you ovulated earlier. Tho it is not unheard of for people to Ovulate twice in a cycle (rare but it happens) so maybe that could explain it, but no way to know without temp rise!! sorry.
I find OPK tests are great, they tell you when you are about to ovulate. Could you try one of those today it might come up with a positive tho you also may have missed the surge if you are already ovulating. Sorry I'm not much help!!

Also I dont know if it helps, but from personal experience I have had slight EWCM yesterday and I am no where near ovulating. I have been using OPK tests and tested like 3 times yesterday just to make sure it wasnt going to be early and surprise me cos the EWCM had me confused and they were all negatives. So I guess we can have EWCM at other time in cycle, tho it wasnt a lot, but it was there.

Hey, go on Fertility friend it is a free website and helps you predict ovulation and etc from temping and mucus etc.

[Melbournemumma]

Yeah I have gone to fertility friend and i will start temping next cycle me thinks

I vaguely remember some ewcm before I got a BFP. I remember thinking how strange it was at that time of the month.... it seems things just didn't dry up. Still haven't.... LOL Good luck! And DTD just in case.
