Positive OPK/EWCM in TTW anyone?

So I finally appear to have ovulated 6/7 days ago on what seems to be a long cycle this month. Everything seems strange and different to normal my temps, my cm, well everything really. I'm still using OPKs just in case as my body had tried to ovulate twice previously this cycle but failed as my temps never stayed up. However I finally got my temp shift (barring a big dip below coverline at 4/5dpo) anyway, my OPK was positive today? And I've been getting an abundance of ewcm the last few days whereas I'm usually creamy or dried up by now..
Can anyone shed some light please? IC this morning was BFN, not surprising since its still a bit too early to test 😕 just wondering if its normal to get an lh surge after O as I dont usually test this late on x

@Neverlookback32 no worries at all, was just checking in to see how you are.

Thank you, I feel okay about it, and have had maybe 3 normal cycles since - just frustrated I can't seem to get pregnant again. And now can't even try next month.

That is very odd. I hope reflexology works for you. Otherwise maybe worth seeing a doctor if nothings happened in another few days.

Thanks I think I will do. Good luck!

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 hey sorry for my late reply I did type a reply on your first message but the thing didn't post 🙄 happened a few times now.

So sorry to hear about your MC 😔 how have you been feeling since in yourself? I imagine the grief may have been preventing your body from working properly whilst you process it all. Bodies are funny like that. Xx

Well I'm on cd49 still nothing. My temps are abnormally low for me this cycle they're averaging 35.7c which is so odd. I just want my period now! I'm going to try some reflexology on myself to see if that will bring on my period as apparently it works!

If I were you I'd ditch the CB and use standard OPKs to save you the confusion. Sex every other day as apposed to every day to give the swimmers a chance to develop. On the plus side at least you know you're capable of conceiving and ovulating xx

@Neverlookback32 how are you?
5 days late now, neg test over here

You’re right, it measures estrogen for flashing smiley. Oh that’s so interesting, I’ll switch to those, thanks for the recommendation!

That’s especially annoying as you’ve got the testing down to such a fine art. I wonder why it’s suddenly gone haywire. I’ve really only started the ovulation tests last month because things are feeling off after a miscarriage last Sept, before was just having sex every day or two of cycle, and when seeing EWCM.

Keep me updated also, and I’ll update here too. Good luck x

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 so annoying isn't it!! See I've never used the CB digi opks as I have high estrogen levels on a normal day so mine would always flash (pretty sure it flashes when detecting high estrogen and the static smiley is when you get your LH surge). I use the easy@home opks off amazon and use it with the premom app it's brill as you upload pics and it analyses your peak based off the lines. It's been great the last few cycles at pinpointing O so I was always sure when I'd get my period! However this month I can see from my chart my body tried ovulating twice but temps didn't stay up for longer than 4 days so fertility friend removed my crosshairs so frustrating. Its been an expensive roller coaster of a cycle the amount of sticks I've peed on is UNREAL 😫

You may have missed your LH surge with your clearblue though so you may still be in luck! Have you any other symptoms? Keep testing and keep me updated. Good luck!!!! 🤞

Thanks for replying @Neverlookback32, that sounds really stressful. Hope the reflexology works! Sorry its been such a long cycle.

I don't temp so I can't say for sure, and I had a LOT of flashing smiley on the CB ovulation kit with no peak. Wondering now if I just kept gearing up to ovulate but didn't.

Its so annoying just not knowing isn't it!

@A1b2c3d4e5f6g7 still nothing. Now on CD46. All BFN, temps are lower than usual this cycle with no temp shift. Had lots of watery cm few days ago as well as a little pink tinged cm after sex which I thought was my period but it wasn't, nothing at all now. Just want my period to come!! Been trying some reflexology massage on my pressure points tonight in the hope it works to bring on my period.

How many DPO are you? X

How did it go? Having this during 2WW, now late by a couple days, but negative test. Covered bases also, but the EWCM continued up until 2 days before my period was due

@Horehound have been covering our bases just in case. Although my temps have been up and FF has pinpointed O 6 days ago. Wish I knew what was going on Confused

If you have EWCM then have sex asap.
