Sperm Meets Egg Plan Chatter thread!

Ale - Ok me for example. My cycles are 32 - 35 days and I ovulate on cd17 - cd 20. My EWCM happens around the week before Ovulation occurs. If you go by EWCM it will not be a good enough indicator of when you ovulate. I use CBFM and OPK's but I do not chart. By the time I get my LH Surge I have already had a weeks worth of EWCM. How did you know that you ovulated on cd21-21 last month, did you use OPK's?

yes ma'm, used opk's.. i had a pos. at cd 13.... but then i had +'s at cd 19, 20 and 21... then back to neg on cd 22... i had stopped using opks at cd 14 cause it was back to neg. but i was dry the whole time even at cd 13.. so at cd 19 i had EWCM, so i was like ok? took an opk and was positive for 3 days and my temp went up to 97.9 cd 19-21 then after cd 21 it went up to 98.4, thats how i knew i ovulated

I would be guessing that if you are on cd7 and you have a cycle of 35 - 40 you won't be anywhere near ovulation yet on cd7. If you are getting EWCM then it is early but not impossible and there is nothing wrong with this fact. Your cervix will be low and hard and as I said when you get to around cd 17,18,19 onwards until you ovulate on around cd21 as you said, your cervix will go high and open ready for sperms to swim up and it will also go soft like your lips. You should do LOTS of good quality BD around this time. Your cycle is very similar to mine so I would go the SMEP route of starting every other day from around cd8 or cd10 then when you get your LH Surge do that night, then the next nights after, then miss a night, then the insurance bd! How long have you been TTC may I ask and how old are you? x

Well my body is really weird too because I get this EWCM a week before, every day, in abundance and then when I get my LH Surge it starts to disappear and I think like, "where the hell are you now I need you" lol. So I know what you mean, but I use Preseed then x I don't think you can go on EWCM and also once you get your Pos on the OPK you should really just stop and BD BD BD lol. I was stupid this month and I kept testing + on opk for 6 days solid!!! It cost me extra money and it confused me but then I read that it is not unusual for this to carry on giving you + for so long on OPK as the Estrogen stays in your body for a while and takes a while for it to leave hence all the continuous + opks lol

i'm not an expert at this at all, but perhaps your body is gearing up to O at the beginning of the cycle, but it doesn't, so then it does mid cycle when supposed to? just a thought!
