I'm not charting my BBT yet, will start next cycle but I'm trying to start understanding things a little more now.

My cervix feels very low and soft, and I've got milky EWCM and I'm convinced AF is only a few days away. My cycles have been very irregular, I thought I had OV this cycle but I'm still learning. Anyway... Is this normal? Is it a sign AF is coming? It's the EWCM that has confused me!
 
I think you can get ewcm anytime in your cycle, everyone is different. I get a good few days before o an sometimes I get some before af but lots of women seem to get it after af and before BFPs! Why is ttc as clear as mud!?
 
hey hun,

i got ewcm type stuff at 8dpo and read people had got it around this time past ovulation ang to their bfps a week later.!
i havent ever seen this before even when i was calculated to ovulate.

im hoping for us both its a BFP!
 
I just read your post after I made this!! I am so hopeful for you!! Make sure you update!!! :)

Fingers crossed xx
 
Thank you :)

iv now got this weird pain in my left ovary going to the middle where my uterus is, god its so painful when i push or even cough or move to the right i can feel it, and im 2 days away from AF super nervous praying this is a good sign!
will let you know hun good luck! xx
 
You can get ewcm all throughout your cycle, it's usually due to an estrogen surge. It's common to get ewcm right after AF, before ov, about a week after ov and right before AF/BFP. It's normal. Best to BD everytime you see it though, just in case... even if you think you've already ovulated because sometimes the body can try to ov and fail :flower: xx
 
Hoping this isn't the case for you, but ewcm for me just before af is usually how I know it will next there later that day or the next day. Fx'd for you!!
 
I got this five days before AF and 9 days DPO... Started AF last night... I really thought i was gonna get a bfp because i had never had it before.. Super bummed, maybe things will turn out diff for you! GL! Baby dust!
 
I normally get clear/watery a few days before AF. It is because if not pregnant your progesterone levels fall.
 
gingersnaps, it doesn't always mean AF though hun. I got a ton of it before my BFP, but I've also gotten a ton right before AF... It could go either way. Hope it's your bfp!! Let us know any updates xx

I didn't say it always means AF - I said progesterone falls before AF - which causes watery/clear discharge for some people - ie estrogen has risen prog fallen.
In pregnancy it is different as you have a different mixture of prog and est.

I always get clear watery cm 2/3 days before AF and it used to confuse me as it looked like fertile cm.
