OPK and CM confusion

[SezzySue]

ok so I will just explain the best I can.

On cD 14 , 15 and 16 we BD.
CD 16 I had what looked like a posative OPK. At least that was the response I got from everyone .

Then on CD 17 I have a clearly negative OPK, on CD19 and CD20 they were even lighter then on CD17. So I do believe that the OPK was right in my ovulating on CD16.

But where I am confused is up until yesterday I had a bunch of watery CM and did not have ANY EWCM.

Does this make sense to you? I thought you had EWCM on day of ovulation and I usually do.

I hope that CD 16 was a good ovulation and the BD before it helped.

Oh my!! That sounds IDENTICAL to what went on just 3 days ago with me!!!
I am still confused as well so I can't help be of much help...

Some women do not get EWCM. You can actually take robitussin (PLAIN robitussin not the oens with letters) You take it from like CD9 until O day and it can help your Mucus. It just really varies. Are you temping too?

[SezzySue]

hmm

[SezzySue]

no i didn't temp

I would start5 temping as well so you can get a dual confirmation of O. Then you would know without a doubt it happened. Checking CM is VERY helpful but some women's do not get full EWCM some months

[SezzySue]

hmm, maybe i will temp next month.

Temping helps, but remember some women don't ovulate every month...

[SezzySue]

well over the past year I have ovulated every month, so I don't see that as a problem.

I agree! Temping should keep you from getting confused as to when/if you ovulated. Good luck!
