Ov pain and EWCM twice???

[pooch]

So i have a 31 day cycle and i think i ov around day 17 or 18...i had EWCM and both days this month i had ov pain then it went away, but today (CD 20) it's back pretty strong. when i wiped i had EWCM on the toilet paper. does this mean i'm ov'ing again? or does EWCM last for a few days after ov? last month i had a chemical and had cramping starting a couple of days after ov, i also have a dull backache which i had last month.
i swore up and down i wouldn't symptom spot but since we DTD on CD days 16 and 18 i want to make sure it wasn't too early...should we BD again in the morning?

Yes, you should! Your body might have geared up for ovulation and then not released the egg and be gearing back up to actually do it this time. You only ovulate once in a cycle. Even if it's already happened it can't hurt to try again.

If you're temping you'll know when you ovulate by looking for 3 days of higher (.4-.6 degrees F higher) temperatures in a row indicating you are in the two week wait. Otherwise there's no way to guarantee you've actually ovulated at home.

i'm not temping so i'll try to get dh to dtd with me in the morning...better safe than sorry! thanks!

This happened to me a couple months ago, I thought I ovulated but actually didn't until a few days later when I had all the signs again. I even got a positive opk again so definitely just to be sure

 

[pooch]

oh, maybe i'll go take an opk and see what the results are, thanks

good call future mama, just took an OPK and it's positive (never had one before, probably because i was testing too early!). i'm at CD 20, it seems kind of late to be ovulating.

 

[Future Mama]

That's definitely positive!!! I'm on cd19 today and just now ovulating, so cd20 is totally normal. I don't know how long your cycle usually is, but this month will probably be a little longer than normal. Good luck!!

phew! usually a 31 day cycle but i had a chemical last month so maybe that threw everything off? now to convince DH to BD with me again!
