Cervix should be low for ovulation but you might have just missed it (mine only goes low for half a day). I never used to have ewcm either but got my bfp in the end. Hopefully the preseed will help! I really hope you're going into the tww and on your way to a bfp but I'd maybe do an opk every few days just to make sure you successfully ov'd and your body doesn't try to ov again 😊
Good luck!

Thanks @BoBo90 I hope so too! Just so I can regain some of my sanity 🙈 Only been at this TTC business for 4 months and it's already driving me insane! Lol. It's reassuring to know that you don't necessarily need to have EWCM To concieve. I guess all I can do now is keep testing and DTD as usual and hopefully this will be my month 🤞

Right so now I'm really confused? Did another opk in the afternoon. Negative. Go to the toilet an hour later and all of a sudden I have EWCM? And lots of it? What the?!

That's fine don't panic! Just dtd for a couple more days 🙂 Remember that the egg is released 12-36 hrs after a positive opk so the ewcm appearing now is about right. Also (sorry for the following description but I can't think of a better way to put it 😖) it may have been up there the last day or so but is only falling out now. Great news that it's made an appearance this cycle though so 🤞🏻It's a sign of good things to come!

@BoBo90 thanks for all of your advice! Sods law isn't it, the month I go out and buy pre seed I now seem to be generating EWCM, typical x

How did you get on it the end? 😊

Momma22 · 10/08/2018 23:48

@Wobble85 I'm now 8dpo. Took last Thursday as my most likely ovulation day. Still getting EWCM. Had a few darkish opks since, but nothing I could say was positive. Just the waiting game now, resisting the urge to test early!

Fingers crossed for you. I've been reading up on early testing. I mean, we all spend a fortune on tests even when we know it's too early. I went to my local pound shop to grab 2 packets of ovulation strips, thinking it's around ovulation time. Got home to notice they were pregnancy strips 😂
I'm only (roughly) 4 dpo and those 6 strips have already been used up!

Fingers crossed for you though. Don't give in to temptation ☺
