Is it possible to conceive a day or so before seeing EWCM?

Hey yall.. so I've had trouble conceiving since my first pregnacy didn't go so well due to preeclampsia 2 years ago in 2014... now trying again and I don't really ever get EWCM but I did yesterday alot and DTD that night... so are my chances high to get pregnate?

hi, have only read the start of this thread, im sure you'll be fine if you've already done it, if not...
a friend of myn had (on my recomendation)coil (not mirena), she was in a lot of pain, dr got it out as it had moved and started to perforate her uterus... a few months later i went to get my mirena removed to ttc, tehy couldnt find it, in short its perforated my uterus and is at the top of my pelvis (has been v.painful and i can even tell u wen it happened, but i tend to try to ignore pain), waiting 4 op 2 remove it.

on a seperate 'issue' for want of a better word

i had cm a couple of days after 'doing the deed', but this was only a few days after af finished-could i really have ovulated that soon?

prob best to take test at teh earliest-the day ur af due-if you can wait that long! good luck!

Not yet...am trying to be patient..although I had EWCM two nights ago and thought maybe I have my dates all wrong and have delayed ovulation and a long cycle this time?? DTD just in case

It's agonising... what makes it hard is that AF comes and you can't try again the next day...you then have to wait for the next window around ovulation. I just hope the gut feeling is not just totally in my head.
JRsandCoffee - hope you're feeling better. I have my fingers crossed for you.

Should say, I hope that this could be an "oops" moment, it's just agonising is it not???

I'm trying very hard not to navel gaze about the "could I be" question.......because we were all set for a well timed month when I got food poisonining........which I assume to mean not a hope in hell...as, oh how topical, I'm thinking the last time we DTD was about 3 days before I o'd. I'm now due and have absolutely no symptoms of anything whatsoever, which is most unusual....trying hard not to think about it, very hard, particularly as I was up in London at the weekend throwing wine and shellfish down my throat in the sure and certain conviction that I couldn't be in the running this month!!! This could be an "oops" moment......

Hi - I've still got the rumbly tummy feeling and have felt a teeny bit queasy over the past 24 hours. Am very sure I feel something is different and have done so since a few days after having sex but keep trying to manage expectations by thinking surely I am just imagining most of this. My AF hasn't ever been super regular but I think I am due mid next week. Assuming that AF comes on time then I think I am still a little bit too early to test using a home pregnancy test.

I actually have an appointment with my GP tomorrow to check something else (appointment was made weeks ago) so I think I will see if she can do a blood test. They should do this if asked right? Am wondering if she will tell me to just be patient and wait until close to the scheduled AF arrival date..!

Flyingcloud - I think you can us a home preggers test and get a fairly reliable result about 6 days before AF is due (if you use one of the early ones). Understand that you get a better result close to AF and then best results if you are overdue and test then. Am not 100% sure but think a Dr can do a blood test and this can pick up a pregnancy a bit earlier.

ahhh thanks solo

No I didn't as far as I can remember (Ds is 12.3 now), I'm sure I waited until I was feeling sick! which was after AF was due.

solo, did you test before AF was due and how long before??

BIAM, I had a naughty, sex fuelled weekend and on the Thursday I just knew I was pg with my Ds...

oh i'm feeling very like you! DTD last weekend and early in the week and woops spotted some EWCM... dying to test, but think it's wayyyy to early? Probably need to wait another 2 weeks or so when AF due.... unlikely i'll be able to wait that long though. have sore nipples, metallic taste in mouth.... eek!

Oops, feel almost like I should namechange for this!

We had did the deed last Tuesday in a fit of broodiness following the birth of friends' dd and within 24 hours had ewcm. We were, for lots of reasons, suppopsed to wait until February! Our own dd is 9 months...
Have had similar pre AF Symptoms, heaviness, back ache etc.

When can I take a test?

Bathes - let us know how you, sorry, your friend, goes. I am in a similar situation where we had sex about 2-3 days before I think I ovulated and it's still too early to test. My lower belly feels a bit rumbly like something is happening (feels like it does in the 24 hours before AF usually arrives)and it's been like that for a few days now but am not sure if this means something or if it's just in my head..!

We DTD on a Monday, got positive OPK on the following Sunday and EWCM from Wednesday onwards (in between).

The result, DS2 is sat on the floor at the moment, playing with his toys .

It can happen.

My 5th baby was conceived from unprotected sex on cd6.....I ovulated on cd11. He is most def a boy and I we were both 36 when we accidentally made him.

I'll be waiting for your friend's announcement

Mirena over Depo for me everytime. It took me six months to regain fertility after coming off Depo with a hellish 8 week bleed which was only sorted out with a month of mini-pill (although possibly only relevant if you want kids / more kids).

Also suffered reduced sex drive with depo, particularly at the start of the 12 weeks.

I was lucky though - I didn't have periods with either.

Mirena vs depo is horses for courses. Depo is whacking great dose of hormone (enough to last 12 weeks!) and can take 18m after stopping for fertility to come back. But tend to get no periods which can be a rather nice side effect

Mirena seems to divide people. I think its a suck it and see option - lower hormones with less systemic absorption, and usually reduces your bleeds but some people just don;t get on with it. I fit them in others again and again because they love it...

Hope your friend gets the result she wants!

Female sperm are slower but have more stamina apparently. That's what happened when I conceived Dd.

There is some scientific stuff that substatiates this which is how I 'know,' but I can't recall where I read it.
