    Red face EWCM or...leftovers...TMI

    I can't believe I am posting this (or that I'm in this section)...but here goes...

    As you can see from my ticker I have an almost 11month old DS- who took us 10 months of active trying to conceive. AF returned after about 6 months and now I have had 4 approx 34 day cycles. Prior to DS my cycles were 28 days with O pretty much spot on day 14 (according to CM observations).

    Since DS's birth we have been using condoms for contraception - but we don't dtd much - I have no libido and my DH is very patient Then on Friday night we dtd very spontaneously and when DH asked where I was in my cycle I said I didn't O for another week (it was CD 12) - or so I thought. I assumed (and FF told me) with a 34 day cycle I would O about day 20 - so no contraception. Then tonight I go to the loo and there is the stretchy clear goo I associate with ewcm...eek.

    So my question is...could I be Oing? Or is it likely leftovers from dtd? Its been so long since dtd without condoms I have forgotten what is usual... My heart is racing - I don't know whether to be scared or excited at the possibility...

    I know there prob isn't an answer...I just needed to empty my thoughts...

    Sounds like EWCM to me. Leftovers aren't quite so stretchy ifywim? I hope it all goes the way you want it to. xox

    Thanks Winter...the problem is...I have no idea what I want!!! Guess I'll cross that bridge when AF does or doesn't turn up

    yup I agree, leftovers tend to be more watery than ewcm.

    Good luck (either way lol )

    Thanks gals. There's been no more cm but I have, of course, been analysing every twinge, feeling and possible sign lol. Considering i prob haven't o'd yet it's all pretty silly I don't really want to be utd...but it wouldn't be terrible either I'd forgotten the emotional and psychological side of ttc... And I'm not even ttc!
