| Re: A few questions about TTC?
What are the rest of your fertility signs like? Are you charting your temps?
Some women O very close to AF. If it's not at least 10 days you have what's called a luteal phase defect and need to discuss with your doctor to see if you should take some fertility drugs to help lengthen the luteal phase (the time between O and AF when implantation occurs).
For me, I O on CD17 and then have a luteal phase of 11-12 days (28 or 29 days total per cycle).
From a charting website I use to track my temps and CM every day:
"Why do I have several patches of fertile cervical fluid?
Several patches of eggwhite fluid with no clear thermal shift may mean that you are having an anovulatory cycle or delayed ovulation. You can have "fertile-like" cervical fluid and still not ovulate. If you have several cycles that show this pattern without an associated thermal shift, you should ask your doctor to help determine whether or not you are ovulating.
If you have several patches of eggwhite cervical fluid and a temperature rise, then your ovulation was probably delayed due to some external reason. As long as ovulation is not already clearly indicated, you should still have intercourse at least every other day when you see eggwhite cervical fluid to make sure not to miss an opportunity."

Does anyone get CM when AF is a week away. Could this be a sign of pregnancy? I am experiencing some now and af is due a week from today? I am planning on going out this weekend with DH and some friends and I was wondering if I should take a test to R/O pregnancy, as I do not want to consume any alcohol if it could be positive. thanks for any input girls.
