EWCM disappears before ovulation - what do I do??

[Qwerta05]

Hi everyone!

I'm so very confused. I've gone off BC 8 months ago. Had no CM to speak off, short luteal phase, all hallmarks of post-BC cycle.

I've been taking all the supplements, Vitex (LP 11 days now instead of 8), guzzling grapefruit juice, taking EPO and having red raspberry tea in the follicular phase and I'm at the stage where I've actually got fertile CM, not much but clearly EWCM - exciting! Only I have it days before ovulation instead of at ovulation

I tried to create a longer thread but there's a strange problem where mumsnet tells me to login first repeatedly even though I'm already logged in.

First really had proper text book EWCM last month, days 11-12, ended up ovulating day 20 (charting+opks). This month, had beautiful EWCM days 13-14, got so excited. Today is day 16, CM is steadily getting lotiony with little globes of stretchiness but very negative OPKs and my temps are still low so no ovulation as of yet.

I'm really at a loss at what to do. I focused so much on getting fertile CM and followed advice and got it but at the wrong time of the month so fat lot of good it does me! I've given in and tried Preseed last month (though I don't need lube during the actual intercourse so things were rather slippery - sorry about TMI) and nothing. I've used some earlier today because my CM is no longer beautifully fertile and will continue using until I run out.

But I'm so lost. Does anyone have any advice, similar experiences or positive stories? Please?

Bumping for you. That does seem strange! Can you share your BBT chart?

I never had any EWCM and I'm now 9 weeks. I worried so much like you , tried everything. I think for some of us its just all up there where it really matters so try not to worry x
