Lol jellybean yes I could not help but laugh at this thread myself. Such a female thing to analyse and dissect intimate details.

Female yes but I'm not sure if ask and dissect this with my non belly belly friends how embarrassing that would be
you should hear a bumch of nurses or midwives together. especially if they are having a meal. NOTHING is offtopic!
I'm a dissector of detail outside of BB. Not to everyone but certain close girlfriends, yes!
Tt40 yeah I work in a pathology lab which involves alot of gross talk but never quite get to the point of detailing my lady business with them haha and I wanna become a midwife should probably get over that hurdle
Update- I'm on my 7th day of ewcm! Is this normal? It's not all day, it's in batches of one, two or three throughout the day.
I'm now cd 17 and I've had tightness in my pelvic area every day since cd 15. I thought I had actually ovulated on that day (cd 15) because I was headachy, sluggish and felt a bit sick actually, my sides felt achy and uncomfortable. But more ewcm today so DH and I dtd just in case and my pelvic/uterine area - centre front and across - felt so tight and heavy dtd was actually a bit uncomfortable... Weird hey?! Is three days of cramping normal? You would think I'd know since it took 18 months of TCC DD1 but back then I wasn't paying that much attention, just flying by the seat of my pants!
Lol this thread and the pure intimate honesty!
Years ago I read a book called "Natural Family Planning"
Your body sounds 'normal'.
I never really got ewcm so I couldn't tell you! But one main symptom I would ALWAYS get was really sore nipples just after I had ovulated. Usually lasted for about 4-5 days too.
Mine get sore too actually. They never did pre-DD but I've noticed it in the three cycles since AF returned.
Hmm...So I thought I ovulated yesterday or the day before (cd 15 or 16) as i had the twinges, truckloads of ewcm and a high cervix in days prior. Yesterday no ewcm, just a small amount of creamy watery stuff, cloudy and not much of it. but then this morning a little more ewcm but it was mixed with the cloudy sticky blob stuff- i.e. the stretchy ewcm was mixed with the not stretchy at all non fertile cm. does the mean today is O day or could it be residual ewcm? My pelvic area is still subtly twingy. If I ovulate today then my luteal phase is only 11 days as my post natal cycles seem to have settled with the last two being bang on 28 days. Last month I had the same- lots of ewcm then a day of nothing then on cd 17 a surprise patch of ewcm.
Does anyone want to hazard a guess- later ovulation and a shorter luteal phase or earlier ovulation and renegade ewcm?
I'd go with your original guess of yesterday or day before when you had the most ewcm.
Do you use opks?
No I don't but if I don't get a BFP this month I might try some. The last two months my first thought - so I guess I'd call it instinct- was that I ovulated on or near cd15.
So I did my first opk cycle- stupidly excited at seeing two ones on a stick of any kind! Negative OPKs from CD8-13 then I ran out and didn't test CD14 then bought some more and got a positive around 11:15am CD15 (yesterday) then negative again that same afternoon! So I'm thinking a short surge or it began the previous day when I didn't test perhaps. Ewcm the last three days including heaps this afternoon so looks like my instinct of ovulating around cd16 was pretty spot on. I'm so proud of myself- lol I'm so easily chuffed!
