Ovulation questions!! New to TTC

[louisagonz]

Yesterday I got a positive OPK and I've also been using the Ovia app which said I would be ovulating around this time also. Today I noticed EWCM. How do we really know the day we ovulate? Is there any correlation between the two things I just mentioned that would help determine the actual date of ovulation? Either way BD is happening I would just like to know the date so I can start tracking my DPO.

A positive opk means you are likely (but not guaranteed) to ovulate within 48 hours (average is 12-36, I believe). EWCM is common leading up to and day-of ovulation, but can sometimes occur a day or two after as well.

If you got a positive opk one day, and EWCM the next, that day (EWCM day) is probably ovulation.

The best way to confirm is to also be tracking your BBT (basal body temperature). You should see a clear rise in temperatures the day after ovulation, and then it'll stay high until close to/day of AF.

Pos opk + EWCM + temp shift the day after EWCM is the best way to confirm.
