TTC tww stress

So I thought I was in my tww (4dpo) but I've had backache and intense ovulation type pain on my left side and still getting ewcm after bowel movements. I did ovulate (clear blue solid smiley) on Wednesday but I've had ewcm ever since but the pain has just come on today. I want to retest with clear blue but no more tests. Anyone else had anything similar?

Heya,
I'm doing the SMEP plan and it includes three days of DTD after getting that static smily, skip a day and then another DTD to catch the entire window. I underestimated how long it could be after getting the solid smiley on CB, as that indicates ovulation 12 to 48 hours, then the egg can live 12 to 24 hours after being released by the follicle. So that could be a full three days after that lovely static smily, which may be why you're still having egg white CM. That cm can also last a few extra days to leave the body too.

Thanks so much for your reply @Imisscoffee2021. I think what's happened is my body tried to ovulate a week ago but didn't so lh surged and clear blue picked it up but now I have actually ovulated as I've had the clear ovulation pain. We dtd tonight after having ovulation pain yesterday night but might have missed out this month. Very odd for me to have ovulation on cycle day 24! I'm always 14-16 days.
Are you ttc? X

I had a wierd last month where I was visiting family so couldn't track, but ovulated a week early judging by cm and then came on AF a full week early too -very disappointing when it can be mistaken for implantation bleed! I'm TTC #1, 7th cycle now but not always hit the ovulatiom window 100% hence why I'm now doing the sperm meets egg plan. I'm 33 so feel like time is running out though I know 7 cycles isn't overall an enormous amount of time, just feels that way! How about you?

I am trying to conceive number 2. Had a miscarriage at 6 weeks and then took 6 months after that to conceive my first. Promised myself that I wouldn't obsess this time and just let it happen but here I am obsessing again 🙈😂 well this month my ovulation was all up the creak. I use clear blue advanced and had ewcm and flashing smileys on days 14-17 then a peak on day 18 but weirdly that night it went to an empty circle which doesn't usually happen. Then continued to get ewcm all week and got ovulation pain on cycle day 23 and 24!! So I think my body tried to ovulate but then tried again 🤔 we had sex everyday from cycle day 14-19 but then gave up thinking I was I'm tww but then after getting ovulation pain on day 23, we tried again on day 24 (so potentially 1dp). So no idea what is going on or how many days past ovulation I am. I have a stinking cold and have taken a night nurse so hopefully it won't affect anything 🤞 doubt I am successful this month anyway so onwards and upwards 😊
