Hello everyone,

OK, I had lots of ewcm on day 8 of my cycle. I am usually very dry so it was unusual for me to see all that I had (sorry if TMI). I know that usually means that ovulation is comming right??

I have been using OPK also, and now I am on day 11 and still have nagative results. Why did I have so much ewcm on day 8 when I was supposidly fertal but my OPK is still showing negative on day 11.

Should I go by my ewcm on day 8 or OKP now on day 11 and showing negative??

I am so cunfused with the whole ovulation thing. When does a person REALLY know when they ovulate?? FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

Thanks everyone

I TOTALLY understand! This is my first time tracking my fertility too. I'm currently on cd 14 and the opk still is neg - although the line is getting darker now, but first it was very faint then non existant then faint. My CM has been lotion like for 6 days now. I've also been looking at my saliva. First it was negative, then transition, then negative.

All I can say is - first off, relax.

I personally started to bbt - that seems to be one consistent measure of fertility. BBT with the cm, they should give you a fairly accurate time of o.

Good Luck.

Shawmin, Thanks for the info. I am totally relaxing right now

I will just be paitient and continue to check cm and bbt. I just gets frustrating but I do feel calm about it.

Thank you!!

krzy, I know exactly what you are going through. I have done the same thing this month. They still haven't showed that I oed. I think I missed it this month. Isn't that just great. I used opk when I got pg with my ds, and they worked like a charm They just aren't working for me this time. I guess I need to start temping. It's just that everytime I go to buy bbt I think 'well this is going to be my month', and I don't buy one.

My advice - Just buy the bbt...
Pros - they're cheap and can be used as a regular everyday thermometer after the fact.

Cons - given the above pros - I can't really think of any.

Just buy the bbt.
