Interesting.</p> <p>@MaryM: Thanks for pointing me at that resource! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-ewcm-late-af#post-1927767 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 17:26:51 +0000 MaryM 1927767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would highly suggest you read Taking Charge of Your Own Fertility. It's a really helpful resource. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/late-ewcm-late-af#post-1927741 Mon, 03 Nov 2014 17:14:53 +0000 redeyedtreefr0g 1927741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good afternoon Bees!</p> <p>Editting to add: I am not TTC, but this seemed a good place to put this as I am now in the TTW for this month's AF, so... feel free to get it moved if you like?</p> <p>After my last two periods were so odd for me, I've been online a lot (mostly here) and learning some things.<br /> I had already started to kind of chart periods from June on, so there was that.</p> <p>Now I've learned about cervical mucus and egg white cervical mucus in particular, to determine ovulation. </p> <p>Last month (my 2nd weird period) it was kind of cool to see the changes, although I only noted the EWCM days- on CD 14, 15, and 16. Instead of a 28 day cycle, that one I saw some color on CD31, and got true bleeding the day after that.</p> <p>This month, I've been dry the entire time- no watery, no creamy, nothing. Sex has been somewhat of an irritating experience physically. Finally I got EWCM Saturday, CD19. From nothing to a big wet slippery clear blob. Sunday was significantly less, but still kinda there, and now we're back to almost completely dry.</p> <p>Basing just on CM (I don't take my temperature or anything, Mr. Frog might get weirded out by that) would I have ovulated Saturday with the largest EWCM? Or yesterday the last day I saw it? </p> <p>Is it ok to assume that my period will now be late by that 4-5 days? So I can make sure Mr. Frog knows and won't get stressed out? </p>
