EWCM

Does anyone know how long you have EWCM before ovulating? Have pcos and never have it, but been injecting for iui cycle and I've had loads of this mucus today and worrying I'll ovulate before my planned insemination early next week (providing they don't need to cancel obviously).
I do have an appointment tomorrow so I know I can ask then, but I assume they wouldn't be able to fit me in last min for insemination tomorrow if it is the case it's earlier than expected!
Anyone had similar experience?

In a normal cycle I tend to get it around 3/4 days before ovulation and then it sort of dries up and then I'd get a positive ovulation test

With IVF medication though you're likely injecting all sorts of hormones - EWCM is caused by rising e2 levels so the more follicles you have the more EWCM you'll get so you can't really use it as a timeline to predict ovulation as you would in a natural cycle

@ivfbeenbusy thank you so much for your reply. Reassured me now. I'm not worrying so much. I don't know why I do anyway...there's nothing I can do! Thanks again
