Breastfeeding and ewcm but no Af?

Quick qs ladies,

I am breastfeeding and haven't got AF back yet but the last cpl months I have been getting ov pains and ewcm. Does this mean I'm ovulating, can you ovulate and not get AF?
Thanks :)

nope - not unless you're pregnant. might be that your ovaries are trying and not quite getting there.

Yes you can ovulate & not menstrate. Though Babyluv it's very hard to tell. While breastfeeding your hormones go crazy & EWCM is produced because of hormones. I dare say I'm not ovulating though I get EWCM, and loads of it. Sorry for the TMI, but I sometimes wake up in the morning all wet from CM, so it can also be very watery. There is a good chance that your not ovulating and it's the hormones creating the cervical mucus, though I can't make comment on the Ov pains... I've never had them so I have no experience with it.

Only 3 more months of BF for you then you can really focus on TTC.... FX it just happens before that anyway... Good luck xx
