eesoja81: I know this sounds silly, but how do you know if you ovulate? I mean, I never have EWCM - just have CM and sometimes watery. I tried using OPK - the 'strip paper' kind in the past. Some months I have a +, other times it was not a clear +line. So, sometimes I ended up feeling sad & blue. Now,I just quit using it. But eversince taking Soy Iso & RJ, I'm feeling quite motivated in TTC. LOL. Or probably because RJ is also good for combating depression/mood swings.
I suppose there is no 100% positive way of knowing, but I've never been diagnosed with a problem, just irregular periods. For me, I truly believe that I ovulate when I have cramping-sometimes pretty strong-clear/watery cm, then EWCM. It seems to happen that way every month, and then 14 days after the EWCM I get AF. My issue was the days leading up to the EWCM-it could range from 19-22, so that's why I started the soy-to hopefully move my O up. I do believe it worked this month, it's just been kind of confusing. I had 2 days of watery CM, then 1 day of cloudy, now EWCM today. Yesterday threw me off, but it's my 1st mo. trying soy, so I kind of knew it wouldn't be super smooth. As far as the OPKs-I have not found those strips to be reliable. That's GREAT that you're feeling good about TTC-it's stressful, but should be fun & worth all of the hard work in the end!
I know, it used to be really stressful for me... but I think Royal Jelly makes me calmer. Sometimes it's kinda hard though, esp. being compared to my sis-in-law who already gave birth last September (even though she just got married last year!). It's nice that you could sort of pinpoint your ovulation days. I hope all will go well with you.
Baby to everyone here!
