Time from ewcm to ovulation

So, I always suspect I ovulate the day after I see ewcm...

What are your experiences?

Do you get ewcm right before you ovulate?

For a few days before?

Do it go and come back?

It varies from person to person. What you're describing could definitely be correct for you, it doesn't sound unusual. I'm normally 2-3 days after first seeing the EWCM

I get 3-4 days, including watery which is the most fertile, before I ovulate.

Thank you both of you!

I assume I'm ovulating the day after I see it, so stop DTD after that, but I'm wondering if I'm actually ovulating later and not DTD for long enough!

I get ewcm for about 4-5 days. Looking at dates of when that happens to AF I think I ovulate on the last day of having it. Might be totally wrong though!

Do we think the last day is the same as the day with the most?

So, could have have lots of ewcm one day, a little less the next, but ovulate just before any amount of ewcm stops?

I think it's the last day even if it's not the most....but, again, I may be wrong! I am assuming that from ovulation to AF is 14 days, which would make the last day of ewcm the day I ovulate. After that it goes immediately to sticky/creamy. I am also interested if that's right though! I always think I should temp to find out but it seems a faff and I've never done it.

I think I ovulate the day after most ewcm and often when I'm a bit dry, but near in mine your actually most fertile whilst you have ewcm as the sperm live in it x

So my ewcm seems to get thinner, then i think I ovulate the next day after the thin, silky feeling cm.

I'd like to try temping too but my sleep isn't that great and I think it'd be just another thing that adds stress!
