Hi.
So i have irregular cycles...32-45 days, but last months was 56!!
Since last period i had the EWCM (egg white) on day 10 with cramps just that 1 day though.
Since then iv had the white creamy dc & then sticky dc...now i just feel wet sorry TMI!!!
Im on day 20 now and have tender boobs & cramps.
On my tracker because of long cycles im not dueto Ov till 4-5th June & next period not due untill 20th June.
Im sooo confused & sad.
Have i ov this month as i noticed EWCM? Or could i be about to ovulate now i have sore boobs/cramps but no EWCM??
By my tracker Ov isnt even due yet....arrraaaggghhh please someone help me! I dont have a thermometer to do temp tracking so cant tell by that.
To add to it as i have pcos i prob may not even ovulate i suppose :-(

Sometimes you get EWCM without ovulation but it's not possible to tell what has happened yet without temps I'm afraid as if you did ovulate you could still be in your luteal phase.

Hi glorious thanks for your reply.
So if i did Ov 10 days after my last period...im now on day 20. If it was ovulation i would be 10dpo now? Is that right?
Im so confused...my cycles are all over the place :-(

Hi 1moretime just to say I sympathise about erratic cycles Sad

My last cycle was 67 days and I'm currently on day 32 of this one and, according to my tracker, due to Ov on Thursday. However, on day 22 I got positive OPK and maybe EWCM? I don't know. But I think I'm also 10dpo. I keep imagining symptoms, I've had random dizzy spells, a bit of bloody mucus yesterday, low level nausea, very, very tired etc. Are you imagining experiencing anything?

Good luck with ttc, I know how difficult it is with such irregular cycles. We're actually trying for #3 but my cycles are so erratic my doctor once told me it was a miracle we ever conceived, lol!

Hope you get your bfp soon!

Yes OP that's right. Luteal phases vary from about 10-15 days I think so a fair way to go before you'd need to presume you either didn't ovulate or are pg. Is there any reason you're not charting temperature? It would really help. [[Www

Hi KokoLoko
Its frustrating isnt it!!
I just wish my body would make its mind up as to what it is doing. Haha.
I am on day 21 of my cycle now & would be 11dpo if i did Ov on day 10? Iv had cramps the last few days & headaches thats all iv noticed so far. The cramps i feel are like ov pains or af. Not sure cant be af or if it is then itl be the best cycle iv had for a looonnng time! Lol. Last months was 56 days!
I dont chart glorious i have a tracker on my phone where i log my cycles, as i see my consultant every 6 months & it gives her an idea of how long my cycles are. I know i have read alot about bbt temping but im up & down through night so not sure if i could rely on that??
I do get ewcm...not every cycle but i do get it...whether i ov or not is a different question.
Best of luck xxx

16 sorry

xBlueberry88x · 28/05/2014 14:03

1moretime Have you tried opks to narrow down when you might be ovulating.

To be honest a lot of people cant go on just the cm.

Also the phone trackers only give you and average of when a 'normal' person should ovulate...most women ovulate a variation of days during the cycle and sometimes not at all.

Temping is supposed to be the best way but if you cant do that try opks and least then it will give you an idea.

1moretime · 28/05/2014 19:27

xblueberry i have pcos & read on here that women who use the opk strips get a positive even if not ovulating?.? Something to do with hormones i think. But not 100% sure xx I have worked out that the phone tracker isnt all that good...im basically using it as a log for my cycles xx

I did a sneaky test this morning (IC, 20 for 99p Grin ) BFN but I expected that. Think I'll wait until Friday (14 dpo, I think) before testing again, unless AF shows up before then. Are you going to test 1moretime We could be poas buddies Thanks

glorious · 28/05/2014 20:35

Sorry cross post. Yes it might not work if you're up in the night but it still does for some people so I wouldn't rule it out. Not sure I'd recommend it if you were trying to avoid pregnancy but as you're ttc it can't hurt.

1moretime · 28/05/2014 21:11

Awww did you test hun? Yeah as you say its prob too early...id wait for 14dpo...but it is hard to wait aint it?
I really dont know whats going on, today iv had cramps & now got creamy dc like lotion sorry TMI!!!
Think i will wait untill end of the week & test hun...aww it would be fab if we both get BFP! :0)
glorious yeh i think i will get some tomoz from town and see what happens. Xx

Ah well, I'm out, AF just showed her face Sad Who knows when we'll get a chance to try again with my erratic cycles.

Good luck 1moretime hope you get your bfp soon!

1moretime · 30/05/2014 18:58

Its awful having irreg periods...i feel your pain!
I really dont know whats going on with me!
I thought i had early ov on Day 10 as i had ewcm...but last 2 days i have had cramps, headache on & off & more watery creamy dc Confused With getting these cramps and more dc i done an opk yday & got a faint line, then another today but it looks the same...it was this morn tho & only realised your meant to wait until pm to do it.
