Hi. That all sounds consistent with you having ovulated as per your peak OPK. My ewcm turns in to creamy white a day or two after ovulation. And I get niggly abdomen pains over those couple of days also (now I'm looking out for signs. I was blissfully oblivious before jumping on the TCC wagon 🙄).
I had no idea about all of this a couple of months ago but it is amazing how much you learn on here! Good luck with everything Thanks

Thankyou! I know I had no idea about all this with my first born as we wasn't actively trying so I need to know what to look out for this time, whens the best time to dtd? I dtd on Sunday evening after my peak ovulation test...

Well, a lot of ladies on here follow the 'sperm meets egg plan' (smep). That involves DTD every other day from day 8 of your cycle, 3 days in a row once you have a positive OPK result, then skip a day and then DTD once more for luck. If you google it you will find lots of ladies commenting on how they work this alongside whichever form of OPK testing they are doing. That is too intense for me, and plenty of sources (including the NHS) say that every other day in the week before ovulation and then once when you hit your peak gives you a really good chance.
I track with Clearblue digital OPKs. In the first month we DTD once three days before my peak and once on the day of my peak and fell pregnant. That was in March and sadly I miscarried but happy that we were able to get pregnant at least.
The egg hangs around for 12 to 24 hours after ovulation, so sounds like you gave yourself every chance to hit it!
