Ovulating without mucous? TMI I'm sure!

[Arimeh]

Ok, I'm at the point of my cycle that I would be ovulating - or AM ovulating - but no mucous to speak of? This is the first time that I have noticed it NOT being there, even though I have small cramps on and off every few days so I should be ovulating? I've always ovulated on day 14 of my cycle, and today is day 14..... but no mucous!!

Has this happened to anyone else? Last month I had an absolute crapload of mucous - and this month - nothing??

I don't know whether to post it here, or in the postnatal stuff - but thought I would get more answers here. I have no idea about what mucous belongs in which part of the cycle - so looking for some help!

Are you sure you are not pregnant?

Mind you, usually I have not much, the last 3 months I have has so much ewcm i feels like period and clots (TMI!! lol)

sorry, I got nothin'!

[Arimeh]

Are you sure you are not pregnant?

I highly doubt it. We had unprotected sex last month on cycle day 19 - and then I got AF the day she was due, which was day 28. So.. ??

It is possible to ovulate and not get any mucous... but I don't know how that would tie in with you having had a bub last year.

Sorry hun, I don't know...

[Arimeh]

Thanks Nic Its reassuring to see that its possible to ovulate without mucous. I'm so clueless about this stuff.

got somethin to share Melly?

ETA - I dont always get ovulation cervical mucous (which from my TTC days should be egg white mucous I think?). I think its just luck of the draw.

[Arimeh]

I got nothin to share my friend.

And I'm not listening to Maz-a-roonie over there.... noooo way my friend.. noooo way...

[Ahurani]

Yep I think you can GL

[PumpkinZulu]

Yep, I know 110% you can cos I have a few times...I have also not ovulated at all quite a lot. But looking back on charts where I o'ed, just a bib of creamy cm but pretty much nothing, definately no fertile cm. Hope that helps/reassures you

[Arimeh]

Phew.. ok... I can... so its not something I need to see the doc about?

Seriously, with all the cervical cancer things you get warned about, if anything slightly out of the usual monthly stuff happens - I freak out a little!

[LimeSlice]

I got nothin to share my friend.

See...a whole lotta nothin' in this thread!

oh come one.....its not THAT bad


as for the cervical cancer thing...I had snot like no other when I had my abnormal cell's so I dont think it really matters

to snot or not to snot..that is the o'ing question

[Arimeh]

oh come one.....its not THAT bad

When I've just finally come to peace with my decision to stay with the 3 kids and not go for a 4th - it is bad.. I don't want to have to process it all again ya know? Hard enough the first time round

I'd love a 4th just as much as the others, but I don't want to think about it being possible because then a little part of me gets my hopes up ya know? Then I get hurt when I'm not...

LMFAO - not a smear in your knickers woman!!
A PAP smear!
