    Howdy cycle bud,
    Your poor thing, I've also had EWCM during one of my past cycles and I too worried that I was ovulating or at the very least about to ( I also hadn't missed a spray). Thankfully, that's not what happened, I had as many eggs as was expected at EPU. I'm not exactly sure what EWCM means during a stim I never bothered to ask FS about it as all turned out well and I thought it didn't really mean that I was Oing.
    If this continues to bother you could you call one of the nurses tomorrow?
    Hoping everything else is well with your cycle.

    It should just meant your oestrogen level is increasing. In a natural cycle you get an oestrogen peak just before the LH peak, which is then followed by O. That's why you get EWCM just before you O. On a stim cycle your oestregen levels will usually be high (but not "peaking").

    You only need to worry if you get the LH surge, which can be detected by the b/t your Dr does or opks. The LH surge is part of what the synarel is suppressing.
