let talk past ovulation cm! how is it and hoe does it look, or how is it supposed to look?

I was wondering the same! I had EWCM yesterday and it's gone today (only had it 1 day). My LH surge was also yesterday according to OPKs and today's OPK lines have been fading throughout the day. Sooooo, wondering if both of those are indicators that O happened or is about to happen. I've never tracked CM before this so it's all new to me!

I was wondering about CM after ovulation as well. Not too much going on, a little creamy but almost sometimes has globs of stretchy mucus. Sorry about the TMI!!

Ah, I'm still getting blinking smiley faces, not my solid one. And it's the 5th day of it. Usually, I get 4 days of the blinking smileys, then the solid on the 5th. 😞 I guess I'll test again later because my first positive wasn't until the evening but ugh. My stress levels feel very high. And it doesn't help that we start moving today, nothing is packed, and it snowed last night. 😰

Hey Ser, did you get a chance to test this afternoon? I'm sure you've been swamped but just curious if you got a solid. My smiley was flashing in the AM but changed to a solid yesterday afternoon.

Nope, still just flashing 😥😥😥
And I tested three times too. So I'm at 5 days of "high fertility" but no "peak" yet. I think DH is getting exhausted from all the BDing lol

Ser That's got to be getting frustrating! Hope you get the solid smiley tomorrow!! DH is a trooper.

It depends on the person. Your "fertile" CM should dry up within 24-48 hours after O (usually) so it should go from watery/EW to something else. Usually creamy, or dry up, or some women say they get "sticky/tacky" afterwards. Mine typically goes creamy, looks and feels like lotion.

Ah, I'm trying (unsuccessfully) not to be anxious, but I should have gotten a positive opk this morning but I didn't. I'm expecting to O ok the 29th, which usually means I should be getting smiley faces on my digital test starting today. Things already got pushed out when my period was two days late. Our window of time is limited because I'm scheduled for a surgical procedure next month. I mean I know we're doing a one shot try this cycle, but I want it to have a fair shot, you know? Bah! And I know stress doesn't help anything, which I think is making more stressed! 😳

I'm sorry to hear you have to face all these medical issues 😔 Fingers crossed here for you to have your one shot bfp!
Anxiety got the best of me too these last days. I started using opk on cd11 (dec 24th). On the 26th I got a really faint line, so I assumed to have a fat line the next day.. Nothing however ever since. Counting on my body I did O; on the 27th and 28th I did have the eggwhite, cramps in my ovaries, headache and very sensitive almost painful breasts. On the 26th we did have sex, so apart from my opk we should do fine. It just doesn't feel like it.

Omg, 6th day of flashing smiley face!! Wtf?! Where is my solid smiley! Grrr! I'm going crazy!

Oh, and no temp rise either

Awww, thanks! I appreciate it! I had an abnormal pap, followed by an abnormal biopsy, so I have to have a procedure to get rid of the abnormal cells. I've read that it's relatively common and most people are good to go after. But I just worry.

Sounds like your situation is similar to mine this month. OPKs and BDing, along with O symptoms but no confirmation of O. How aggravating! I mean, I knew it was only a shot that we'd get a BFP this month but I was hoping it'd get the full like 30% shot, you know? But it doesn't feel like it. Good luck though! FXed for us both!

You wouldn't have guessed how much our situations are alike.. Last march I had this same cervical procedure because of my abnormal pap and CIN3 levels. Please feel free to ask any questions you'd like. The procedure itself was fine. Just one day of menstruallike cramps. The days after I felt tired and sometimes some discomfort. After a week I was good to go. We waited 4 weeks to have sex again. Last september I had my first check up and I was fine with a pap1.
I totally know what you mean about having the full 30% chances. But hey, we just need one shot right? FX for sure for both of us!

Tiny temp rise today. It's amazing how similar the pattern this cycle is to last cycle (just delayed by a couple days). I should have a bigger jump tomorrow and then FF will probably pin today or yesterday as O day. We've BD every other day for awhile. Going to try to get in tonight too if DH and I are both up to it, and that should seriously cover our bases. So hoping that this is my month!

I got a note from my doctor that my pap was abnormal this year. It's been 3 years of normal but this time abnormal again but thankfully negative for HPV and the cancer cells are negative too. She said that the procedures have changed and since I'm now in the 30+ category (oh yay....I'm old..... ) even though it was abnormal I don't have to do another pap for 3 years because the tests were negative. I was unsure about this and asked some follow up questions (via the messaging portal my clinic has) so she made a point ot call me today and go over the new recommendations from the cancer guidelines and stuff. I really do love my doctor. She also said that if waiting 3 years makes me uncomfortable we can do another pap in a year, not a problem, but she doesn't think I need one in another few months. Unless I get pregnant and then we'll do a follow up.

I had something very similar a few years ago, an abnormal pap and then 3 months later another abnormal so they had the biopsy and it was abnormal so I had to go in and have a procedure done. Thankfully it was negative for cancer but they had to get rid of the cells and while I don't remember which procedure they did for me, it was not too bad. I was a little miserable for a couple days (a little worse than PMS cramps), and bleeding (but not allowed to wear a tampon, which was the worst of it because I am sensitive and pads make me uncomfortable) and really swollen for about 2 weeks I think. I don't remember how long we abstained from sex because it was years ago and I was with my ex, who was an ass and I tried to avoid sex most of the time anyway.

Good luck! Really hope you get that peak smiley soon though!!
