So I am just learning how to tune into my body to find out ovulation timing. I was tracking both CP and CM.
I have no clue how long my cycles are, as I just went off the pill to TTC.
On the 14th day of my cycle, my CP was high, soft and open. I had lots of CM (wet, slippery and clear) but no EWCM. I assumed ovulation because I read that not all women experience EWCM.
Then on the 18th day of my cycle, my CP was still high, but firm and closed. I had lots of CM and some was EWCM!!!
SO confused. Should I assume ovulation on the 14th due to the CP or on the 18th due to CM?????!?!
I have had cramping, gas, bloating and sensitive nipples. So I am obviously anxious to test, but I don't want to drive myself crazy with a BFN if I am testing too early.
Ovulation usually occurs on the last day of fertile CM but that said many women do sometimes get a second batch a few days later. But I wouldn't rule out later ovulation either. How long have you been tracking since coming off the pill? It will take a few months to get to know your body and learn its own patterns especially with cervical position as this is highly personal to each individual body. I used to ovulate around the 17th so the 18th for ovulation is not uncommon especially if you have a longer cycle. And remember you can get many days of fertile CM leading up to ovulation.
Ovulation Confusion...HELP!!
