Can you be fertile after your 'fertile week'

[Sophie1234]

Hi everyone. I am new here and never actively tried for a baby so bare with me. We are ttc number 3. 1+2 just kinda happened so that's why I've no clue about ovulation etc lol.

I have downloaded the app ovia which gives you your fertile week based on your last period etc. I am not doing ovulation tests as I don't want to get obsessed with ttc.

My fertile week according to the app would have been between the 23rd-28th may. I have some ewcm during this time but not loads and no ovulation cramps. Then on Saturday 4th May, I had a lot of ewcm and lots of pelvic cramps which I do sometimes get when ovulating however this time it seemed to be in the middle of my pelvis rather than at a particular side. We dtd just in case.

Could this mean that I ovulated late this month? And when would be the best time for me to test. I am due my period on May 12th.

Thank you. Xx

Hi
Rather than trusting an app which if u haven't been using for that long to track ure cycles cud be off.
I think u need to track at least 2 or 3 cycles for the app to be accurate.
I wud go with what ure body is telling you. EWCM is fertile cm and u will see it increase in volume. At the start it will be a little egg white and then it becomes more and more like egg white and all stretchy and gross lol. That is likely when u are about or are ovulating.
When I had O pain mine was all around the right hand side area and I also had lower back ache. I genuinely just felt off and really achey and I did a ovulation test and it was positive.
It sounds to me like u cud be O now or about to are you doing temps?
Good luck hon
