Ok. I have had EWCM for 6-7 days in a row now. I keep expecting my temps to rise, but nooooooo. I am on CD 22, but I kind of expect that--my cycles have been long and irregular since I stopped BF.

I looked at a bunch of charts from the chart gallery and didn't see anyone with EWCM for this long. Is this normal? The fertile period can't be that long.. Maybe it's because my cycles are long now? Any ideas?

ETA: Can you still have fertile CM if you have an anovulatory cycle? My cycles have been irregular and long since I stopped BFing Elizabeth. They are getting shorter, but I don't even know if I am ovulating.

Have a gander at my chart!!!! i had EWCM for ages!!!!! I wasn't sure if my temps would ever rise too!, they are just now starting to. You still have loads of time to O!
And to answer your question, yes you can have fertile CM without Oing. You can have those +OPKs and not O.......everything can be right, but not O. Your body can be getting ready to O, but then something gets in its way and you don't O.
Hopefully you O, and you get that BFP though!

Breastfeeding can affect your luteal phase for sure. It can make it shorter. Do you have a link to your chart anywhere? I'd be glad to stalk your chart.
