I also had a lot of mild cramping before my positive tests so I suspected something was happening. Good luck! :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snot-like-cm#post-2733687 Tue, 09 May 2017 11:42:28 +0000 stj766 2733687@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is our 1st month TTC. According to Ovia app, should have O'ed on 4/27. I've had this snot-like CM since 5dpo (big glob of it then). Currently 12DPO, AF should arrive between today-Thurs. I've had AF cramps and terrible backache since 5/2. BFNs since 9DPO, but if AF doesn't show by Friday pm, I'll test again. This is also my 1st month charting CM, but I've read this kind of CM could be a sign of mucus plug forming? Anyone else get this before BFP? (sorry if photo is TMI or if I posted on wrong board!!)</p> <p>[attach=8201/17/opp2es.450x600.01326C3F-2268-474E-964C-8A45DEF14A23.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulators#post-2094387 Wed, 04 Mar 2015 11:09:36 +0000 Swoggette 2094387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am attaching my opk photo as I am pretty sure the stick from this morning is positive. I am amazed how different they look from only about 12-14 hrs apart first test was from Monday then Tues am, Tues pm and the last this morning! </p> <p>I am super excited for impending ovulation ;)</p> <p>[attach=5959/15/nkp3k2.600x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulators#post-2093493 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 17:59:58 +0000 LindsayInNY 2093493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ditto the above HBers! The presence of a line doesn't have any impact on how soon you'll O now. So it could be some time still! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulators#post-2093477 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 17:42:34 +0000 wrkbrk 2093477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Swoggette: I do. This is our second month TTC and both times I got the OPK smiley on CD 10. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulators#post-2093461 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 17:22:03 +0000 Swoggette 2093461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you both. @simpyfelicity I was pretty sure I didnt O last cycle. It was 41 days long with no positive opk's and wonky cm and I was an emotional roller coaster. Now that I am post af I feel so much better and was surprised to have a possible OV sign already. I will keep monitoring :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulators#post-2093170 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 15:13:04 +0000 simplyfelicity 2093170@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Swoggette: Sounds like you didn't ovulate last month (that is very common when you have been on BCP for a long time.) As far as the faint line, you always have LH in your system but you are looking to have the test line as dark as or darker than the control line. Chances are, your body is getting ready to O but you aren't there yet. Just test every afternoon and the test line should get darker. The earliest I have O'ed while TTC was 12 dpo. Best of luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulators#post-2092524 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 10:29:09 +0000 Rockies11 2092524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>a faint second line is just indicating that you have some LH in there, not that you're ovulating. Mine is pretty much always with a faint second line, and then when that starts to darken, I know I am possibly heading for ovulation! both when I came off bc and postpartum, I had a bunch of cycless of darkening opks over a couple of days but no true positives while my body was amping back up to fertility! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/early-ovulators#post-2092454 Tue, 03 Mar 2015 10:02:18 +0000 Swoggette 2092454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone O really early? I am on cd 9 today and have had ewcm since yesterday! As I am not charting this cycle I have no idea my temps. But my opk has a faint second line (wondofo) and last cycle I had zero faint lines let alone a positive.<br /> PS this is only my second cycle off of an 8 yr course of bcp. Last cycle I either missed detecting O altogether or it was annovulatory.<br /> Thanks in advance for chiming in :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1355755 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 01:50:26 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1355755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fotolori1: she's right! By the time you ovulate your egg is most likely already gone so its pointless to have good CM. good CM will catch the sperm and keep them alive for at least a day and sometimes 4 while they wait to meet the egg. So it sounds like you are okay to me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1355706 Fri, 17 Jan 2014 00:31:01 +0000 deactivated_account 1355706@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@fotolori1: I think you are meant to have good cm before you ovulate. The days leading up to O are supposed to be your best chances for conceiving. I think that after you O, cm dries up to protect the egg or something like that. Maybe someone more knowledgeable can chime in on this for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1355529 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 22:15:18 +0000 fotolori1 1355529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same problem! Seems like right before I ovulate I have good cm, but then when I need it, there is none! I have been taking mucinex as my RE told me, but it doesn't help. I'm glad I'm not the only one to wonder about that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1355010 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 20:05:22 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1355010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: thank you honey!!! </p> <p>@MrsMcD: haha thanks. I feel like EWCMis TTC gold and I was happy to find it but then nervous I might hVe gotten all the good stuff out! Here's hoping its plentiful for us both!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1354758 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:27:57 +0000 deactivated_account 1354758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: I don't think its a dumb question at all. I feel dumb for never even considering that. I would want to be digging it all out too just because I was happy to find some indicator of fertile time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1354731 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:23:37 +0000 yellowbird 1354731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha!! I never thought of this, but I would assume if it's visible there has to be more!!! Fingers crossed for a :bfp: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1354720 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:21:50 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1354720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMcD: haha well like I said it might be really dumb because maybe there is a ton more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1354686 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:17:48 +0000 deactivated_account 1354686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shoot. I never even ever thought about the potential of wasting EWCM. Yikes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1354662 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 19:13:32 +0000 CatchAFallingStar 1354662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: I usually only have abundant CM for one day and it's usually like 3 days before ovulation, which I find weird! You should BD today, just in case! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1354448 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 18:00:52 +0000 Snowdrop 1354448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure it had time to build up again and you can't hav got it out of inside the cervix (or I hope not haha). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1354442 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 17:57:59 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1354442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks ladies! </p> <p>@Snowdrop: well this morning I went looking for it there and found it but then regretted maybe taking all my good CM! Sounds like it should be in good supply though still. </p> <p>Phew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1354393 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 17:39:51 +0000 Snowdrop 1354393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard that the most important bit is actually in the cervix and I can't imagine you wiped that away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1354387 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 17:37:14 +0000 Dandelion 1354387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: Yep! As long as you are fertile, it will keep coming out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1354361 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 17:33:16 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 1354361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe you will continue to produce it as long as you are ovulating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/tmi-cm-question#post-1354358 Thu, 16 Jan 2014 17:32:23 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1354358@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is probably a really dumb question but in gonna ask anyway. I checked and twice today I had big globs of EWCM. Ones when I went "digging around" this morning and anther time when I wiped after a BM. Now I'm worried that all my good CM is coming out and being wasted. Is that super dumb? I mean I feel like its dumb but I just wanna ease my dumb brain. Im afraid to dry it all up. Hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charting-using-just-cmcf#post-1068552 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 19:37:37 +0000 MrsScottish 1068552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks!! That excites me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charting-using-just-cmcf#post-1068165 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 17:53:48 +0000 whodat 1068165@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsScottish: This thread caught my eye because when I was half-heartedly charting I only went by CM, and never got eggwhite. Like you, I was "wet" for like 3 days, and we BD on those days and one day later, and lo and behold I got a surprise BFP after one month of trying. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charting-using-just-cmcf#post-1068155 Thu, 05 Sep 2013 17:48:16 +0000 MrsScottish 1068155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reserecting this thread- hope is ok instead of starting a new one.<br /> Ok, first month off the mini pill. Trying to figure out what my body is doing. Even on the mini pill and again this month- I am on day 14 of this cycle, I get very .... Wet... For about 3 days. Days 10-13 ish. Like so much I think I am having bladder issues. Is this the watery cm that you talk about?? It has no real smell which is why I know it is not bladder issues. What does watery cm mean? What should I be looking for?!? Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charting-using-just-cmcf#post-456177 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 15:57:16 +0000 Happygal 456177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do touch CM around ovulation time to test for the stretch factor. But other times, I honestly use a mirror to take a peek, and that's enough for me. If I were using just CM to figure things out, I would get more touchy with it and use a chart like Sugar.Biscuit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charting-using-just-cmcf#post-455857 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 14:30:17 +0000 Bao 455857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: lol I did! At the first little sign of it DH and I got down to business, even before that too just to make sure we didn't miss it. Then of course, the days after. We basically had sex 8 days in a row around the time I though I was ovulating (before, during and after) and that's all it took to get pregnant that month. We were on our first official cycle, second unofficial. I always laid low after sex and didn't stand up right away, and only used pre-seed which I really feel helped. Good luck :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/charting-using-just-cmcf#post-455850 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 14:26:45 +0000 T.H.O.U. 455850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Happygal: Thank you Thank you Thank you. That was just what I needed to read but was too scared to google. </p> <p>@Bao: Next question, do people actually put it between their fingers to feel it? </p> <p>Anything else I should look for with charting just using these signs? Really I am just looking to get an idea for my average cycle length and roughly when I ovulate. </p>
