May Ovulaters

[Loveandpeace]

Sending positive, fertile vibes everywhere lol!

Thank you, its our wedding anniversary during the 2WW and we are heading to Amsterdam for it so I will be super cautious about having a drink but still determined to relax and have fun!

Good luck to you too for BD this weekend . Try and not think of testing right now and enjoy this stage and worry about 2ww later.x

LoveandPeace - you are going through sooo much! I'm so sorry about your mum. Yoga will do wonders for you - and reflexology is amazing. Good luck. x

Ok so I am a bit confused, I am not due to ovulate until around this weekend but last night I noticed had EWCM. Even though I checked CP yesterday and it was relatively high but still firm?

Does anyone know how long they have EWCM before ovulation?
I just wasn't expecting EWCM this far before ovulation but maybe my cycle has shrunk by a week this time?

I am also hacked off because obviously after noticing that, I BD with hubby, but unfortunately after a long time, he wasn't able to 'finish', and this has only ever happened about 3 times in the last 6 years we have been together! Now trust me, he really wanted to and he really tried! In fairness he did have a few beers and was quite tired.

Anyway so its not fair to be frustrated towards him as these things happen. We should have BD this morning but I didn't want to jump hubby again in case he felt more pressured.
I never mentioned the EWCM to him as I don't want it to be too much of an 'issue' for him in case it causes a mental block or something when DTD so have to remain laid back about it, in front of him anyway lol.
Hopefully we can DTD this evening and the rest of the week and I'll hide the beer in the meantime lol.

So I hope I haven't ovulated yet so I still have time!!! Forgot to bring OPKS into work with me to test today.

Thank for reading my rant. Just trying not to worry in case I happened to ovulate earlier than I thought and missed it xx

I have EWCM for 6 days before ovulation roughly.

Thanks Sunflower. After reading a bit online it seems it can vary for each woman how long they have EWCM for right until ovulation. So hopefully I have another few days yet before ovulation and can get some proper BD done!

It helps to make a note of it each month as it can give you an indication of when you are likely to ovulate. I usually have the same no. of days of EWCM.

Thanks, yes I am making notes each day now on my fertility app. I had some cramping and bloatedness last night as well. Do you get that with ovulation?
I also did a cheap OPK (I know its better to to it during the day but thought I'd try it around 7pm yesterday) and there was a second faint line. I have one in work with me today to test too, so will see what the outcome is with that.
DTD last night anyway and used conceive plus for the first time, so FX!

Yes I get cramping and bloating...the cramping can last days. Definitely sounds like your body is gearing up for ovulation...fingers crossed for you!

I don't normally get ewcm but have had loads this cycle throughout.

Not sure when I ovulated but I am cd 39 after miscarriage , I tested this morning as still no sign of af and I think there's a line . Will test again in the morning.

Yes I noticed last month my cramping lasted a few days and wondered whether it was 'normal' or not! The bloating is worse than AF imo and its hard to get in the mood for BD lol.x

I'm with you on that, I'm about to pop with this bloating!!!

 

[Loveandpeace]

My bloating seems larger in the evenings!
Now I am frustrated because I did an OPK at 2pm today and it was a super, very faint 2nd line. Yesterdays was faint but not as much. So I have either already ovulated or the OPK is off lol. xx

I'm also noting my EWCM on the app, my cycles have been reducing by 2-3 days each month so far since stopping BC so not sure the predicted ovulation day is goingg to be accurate.

Was trying to explain to my husband about EWCM - got the feeling he wished he hadnt asked!!!

He is committed to the every other day routine but think he's quite pleased when AF arrives and he gets a week break!

Had some random stomach cramps today, on CD17 - thought maybe could get getting ready to O?

My cycles are never the exact same since being off BC either summertime so I cant yet pinpoint ovulation exactly just yet. LOL I haven't explained the EWCM to hubby in case it scares him!

Are you using OPKS?x

I've been trying for baby #1 too for about the same time Alexis!

I think because it seems so alien to us it's hard to actually imagine being pregnant but as time goes on I am saying affirmations and visioning myself being a pregnant and a mother, positive thinking and all that!
Its SO easy to get impatient and frustrated and upset about it,when you seem to be doing everything you can. I pretty much was in floods of tears the last time AF arrived!
FX for our first baby soon xx

LOL good luck Alilou! FX for you!

I am just using cheap OPKS but IF I dont get my BFP this cycle then I think I will splash out on CB ones as I thin kthey are more accurate?x
