Just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation at all? Just feeling down :(

I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle, but I know that I ovulated on day 18 as I tracked last cycle with strips. I don't know when I ovulated in previous cycles as wasn't testing but I do know I only get EWCM in my fertile window rest of cycle no cm or it's very dry.

I am now on day 19 and no ovulation peak at all or any signs it's getting darker but this is the third day I've had EWCM so I'm so confused! I also took a clear blue ovulation test and it came up with the low fertility symbol.

Has anyone experienced late ovulation post chemical pregnancy? I just feel like my window is running out and maybe the EWCM will not amount to actual ovulation? Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else at all?

Sorry to hear about your cp, its so heartbreaking. Ive not had a cp but one of my cycles since i started tracking was what j consider to be anovulatory as i had no ewcm or a positive opk and then af arrived. If you have mucus then it might just be one in which you ovulate a little later. Keep testing, im sure youll peak soon enough, hang in there!

This is totally normal, I've has chemicals before and a miscarriage a few months ago. General advice is to give your body a full cycle to get back to normal etc and level back out x

Sorry for your loss op.
I had a chemical last month too. Ovulated 20th Dec day 20 and it did the trick , after years and years of trying but I bled from 4th jan for 14 days. My cycle has been so messed up. I don't know what my body is doing. I don't even think my body knows what it's doing. I had ewcm discharge and ovulation pains on day 10 or 11 , but didn't test as was still bleeding. I've felt for past 2 weeks like period is coming but no sign of it , terrible period pains but then ovary pain few days ago and yesterday a high reading but no ewcm . I feel like my body is trying to ovulate and get it's period at same time but failing both. It just feels so messed up . I think it may just need a cycle or so to adjust. On cycle day 34 now

Thank you everyone for your responses! I feel more relaxed, im wondering if I missed the peak as cycle day 16 test looked slightly darker so I was expecting it to get darker the next day but it went back to a really light line from cycle day 17 - see photo. still have a little bit of EWCM on day 20 today though so im not sure but regardless im going to relax the rest of cycle to allow my body to 'reset' and see what happens next cycle!

Thank you @MK85, yes it's emotionally so hard when you feel confused and feel your body is confused too! Totally a rollercoaster of emotions, I just keep reminding myself stressing won't help anything (easier said than done!), but I'm making a super conscious effort to affirm to myself that my body is capable, functioning and healthy and that it will happen again 🙏🏼 I urge you to to think the same 🤍

@aw98989 haha yes we all keep hearing how stressing about it really won't help but at same time it's so easy for people to say , its so hard not to think about it isn't it.
I think there's some truth in it,last month was the one month that we actually didn't think about it all the time or want it to happen because we were waiting for the start of my next period to start fertility medication because we knew i don't ovulate.. and all of a sudden that was the one month my body kicked in, ovulated and conceived naturally 😆
