CM and such discussed in this post... You have been warned

I was assuming I ovulated two days ago 'cause of the pretty temp spike I saw yesterday morning. I had the + OPKs and everything. Well yesterday my CM wasn't dry or creamy or anything... It was still stretchy and mostly clear, but really thick instead of nice and thinned out. I marked it as infertile, I couldn't see little swimmers being happy in it... My pre-O temps were in the 97.2-97.3 range. Yesterday mornings temp was in the 97.7 range. This morning I wake up and temp and it's 97.5. I go back to sleep, then wake up later and go to the bathroom and it's EWCM for DAYS.

I'm gonna try and get DH interested in one more round of BDing in about an hour (he'll be home for lunch) just in case... He's pretty worn out, but I'll try and work my magic without making it seem O-related...

I've heard that when more than one egg gets ovulated, it doesn't necessarily happen at the same time, but usually happens within a day of the first egg "dropping." If I ovulated in the middle of the night, and if there's any chance I'm ovulating again, it could be less than 36 hours apart, which is just over a day. (I would LOVE twins, don't mind my musing... I'd be incredibly scared the whole time I was pregnant, but I'd love it nonetheless.)

It's just strange to me, my body NEVER does this. The CM always dries up like it should, the temps always stay up around 97.7 like they should... I know charts that have temps that kind of zig-zag their way through the DPO are perfectly normal, but it's not normal for me. Neither is Oing 2 days after a + OPK. My body's all full of craziness this month.

Have you tried taking any more OPKs? I hate it when my CM doesn't match my temps and OPKs- it's really stressful to worry about what's going on. That's actually why I don't take soy, one cycle that I did I never had EWCM, just watery, and my temps and OPK didn't match up. I was so confused.

I agree- keep BDing every other day until you are sure. Maybe it's a good sign- can't wait to see your BFP

I took an OPK yesterday and it was definitely negative. I haven't taken one today.

Your temps look good, and if you are getting negative OPKs, I would guess you did O and are just having some whacky CM

Probably so... But I've decided that this cycle is all about BDing like rabbits and putting my mind at ease, so we're gonna BD again anyway At least I hope so, gotta get DH's "tired little man" on board... He says "he" is all worn out.

Definately bd for good measure. I would do another opk as well. I hate when our bodies do not do what they are supposed to do. It is very frustrating.

Soooooooooooooo DH was NOT in the mood, but I "enticed" him into some bedroom time anyway. We went... And we went... And we went... And DH just couldn't finish.

We normally have sex 1-2 times a week, except when I'm ovulating, we might have sex 3, MAYBE 4 times. Well we've already DTD 5 times this week, and this time made/would have made 6. He didn't feel like "less of a man," or "blue-balled," or anything... He just laughed about it and said I did him dry

I my hubby. We tried! I'm satisfied with our efforts

That is wacky with your cm thing. Sometimes mine does not add up to when I am ovulating either. My CM really sucks though...I never seem to have very much at all.

I think you made awesome efforts....praying for your BFP. The countdown to peeing on things is ON! haha
