    Can ovulation happen as early as CD12-13?

    I have always had loooong cycles, usually 60-90 days (pcos). I have never experienced EWCM until recently when I had a dye test done (no blockages though???) Probably the last 3 cycles I have noticed some EWCM, but it only happens for one day, maybe into next morning. And the last cycle was 36 days!!! shortest cycle I've ever had naturally.
    So this cycle I am on CD12 today and I have had EWCM all day. What is going on? I don't really have any other signs of ovulation except yesterday I wanted to jump DH all day and I was bloated. But I am bloated off and on all the time. I have done an OPK today and it was negative.

    Could someone with PCOS just magically start having normal cycles? We have been ttc for 3 years and counting....

    not sure about the pcos angle, but I always ovulate on CD12/13, the first 2 times I got pregnant naturally it had been after DTD on CD11! Sometimes i get ewcm starting on CD9.

    If you have only just started with ewcm, it may still be a few days until you ovulate, keep testing with opks and good luck hun x

    Thanks Saffy, how are you?

    It's just a little odd considering I have never ever ovulated this early, ever. Could have just been some random EWCM too. Time will tell

    I had the same thing last month - I never find EWCM and I did on day 13 - 14 last month.... stupid bodies just messing with us I think....

    DH happened to be overseas at the time which was VERY irritating

    I think the whole point of PCOS is that your body is inconsistent - so i think that it is very possible you could ovulate at that time this month, and maybe next month, and the following maybe you won't at all...
    that's PCOS to a tww isn't' it.....

    just enjoy - it is kinda cool when you actually find it .... well I thought so

    Thanks ladies, I don't have much, if any today. And no signs of O either. But we'll give it a crack anyway
