Ovulation Confusion...HELP!!

Hey guys,

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.

Which date would you ladies go by??

Any feedback would be appreciated!

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. :)
