Dry!?

Starry1234 · 17/11/2018 12:17

Has any one been dry/no cm during the fertile week? I had a period 6th Nov to 9th Nov. The day after I had alot of cm and was really clear and watery. It lasted for a few days. Beginning of this week it turned quite thick and creamy. These past 2 days I've been dry. I'm using an app as that's what I'm comfortable with atm. Trying to take a more relaxed approach ttc. I got a bit obsevvise the last 2 months and it stressed me quite a bit. Is it possible I ovulated after period. My sex drive was extremely high and now its near non exsistant. Also I've had slight cramping this morning. Almost as if af is making an arrival again. Does this mean I could have ovulated straight after my af finished or could it be that I'm not ovulating. Just wondered if any one has experienced this before and what it could possibly mean. TIA

@Starry1234 Omg you’re literally same as me!!!

I had period 4th-6th (shortest ever) cycle was also 3 days shorter than last month. Realllly eatery CM and since it’s been really cloudy/creamy. I stopped OPKs this month because I was getting so obsessed and upset.

We only DTD on 9th, 11th and last night. I ended up doing 2 OPKs this morning, cheap one had very faint second line so taking that as negative and my clearblue ovulation thing was also negative. Cramp in my right side.

One app says today is the end of my fertile week and the other days due to ovulate tomorrow so I’m so confused! Have a feeling I’ve ovulated really early and missed it

That’s meant to be watery CM btw 🙈😂

Starry1234 · 17/11/2018 12:43

@MrsMcNtobe I've had exactly the same as you!!! Like idenclte. I used opks last month and got my peak bang on. As in second line do you mean the test line? I just find what's happening strange. The cramps this morn was on my right side. Did you use first urine? I would try again this afternoon. I got no ovulation and then I got flashy face in the afternoon.

@MrsMcNtobe and my cycle was 3 days later than last month 😂

@Starry1234 yeah the test line was really faint and that was first urine! I have one clearblue left so I might save that and try it maybe around dinner time.

I wouldn’t mind if I ovulated early but I don’t think I’ve had enough sex this month to get pregnant 😂😂 I suppose it only takes one little swimmer!

I often have a lot of watery cm post period then it dies down and picks up again later on...I usually ovulate around CD19 or 20 so quite late if that helps- maybe you're going to ovulate later this month.

Starry1234 · 17/11/2018 12:54

@MrsMcNtobe I'm pretty sure a strong control line abd a faint test line on a opks means that it's detecting hcg. I would test in a week or so. Or even now using a FRER even though its super early. I might not be correct but I've heard of it. Yeah it does 😂 plus sperm can live 3-5 days so even if you ovulated around the time you dtd you could have still caught on. Usually watery cm is a good inaction of the hormones changing to realise an egg

@KatnissK does that usually happend straight after for yoy? It did me and I've never noticed it before. Especially as I'm really dry now.

@Starry1234 - yes, like the day after AF I get loads for a couple of days and then it dries up but comes back later. It is weird as typically you're meant to be dry after AF but I guess everyone is different!

Starry1234 · 17/11/2018 13:10

@KatnissK ahhhh well at least you've experienced and it's not uncommon

@Starry1234 hey! How are you today? I have some EWCM so I’m thinking maybe I am gonna ovulate soon! I’m gonna use my last clearblue ovulation test in a few hours to double check!

Starry1234 · 18/11/2018 10:58

@MrsMcNtobe I was litrally just about to write you. I'm OK. My cm had picked up a bit but its creamy 🙄. Ooooh hopefully you do!! I always made the mistake if using fmu though. I remember doing it in the morning it was negative then in the afternoon I got a peak. Hope you do soon!! It's a really good sign you've got Ewcm xxx

@MrsMcNtobe are you still getting faint test likes on your opks and strong controll lines?

Starry1234 · 18/11/2018 11:03

@MrsMcNtobe sorry ignore that one (not quite awake yet) are you still getting faint control line and a strong test line?

OP posts:
MrsMcNtobe · 18/11/2018 11:05

@Starry1234 that’s how mine was Thursday and Friday like thick and creamy 😷😷 I literally don’t have any OPKs left but I might grab the cheap Asda ones today just to keep checking! Had sex last night wasn’t really 100% up for it cos I’d just had a big Chinese but needs must 😂 xx

Starry1234 · 18/11/2018 11:11

@MrsMcNtobe yes I would deffo get some. Just so you know if you are or not. If that's what ypu want. I'm not bothering this month but I'm really wanting to know 😂 just don't want to get too stressed with it all again. Hahaha aww I know what that's like. I'm just gonna go with what my body wants to do now. After my period my sex drive was soooo high. Now its non exsistant 😂 I've read you get a naturally high sex drive when youre ovulating. So god knows haha

@Starry1234 got my static smiley yesterday so DTD yesterday and probably tonight and hopefully that’ll be enough and we can have a break tomorrow 😂 had some cramp today hopefully that’s just ovulation pain!

Starry1234 · 19/11/2018 20:07

@MrsMcNtobe that's brilliant news. I've had theeee worst cramps and lower back ache today. Lasted a good few hours but gone now. Did a cheap opks and it had a faint line and a strong controll line. So god knows what it was. I've had to keep running to loo to check if I came on as it felt wet down there. Was awful. Trying not to get my hopes up
