TMI ALERT! I just went to the bathroom and a HUGE amount of creamy CM came down. I've never seen so much.

Maybe I'm ovulating late and all the OPKs were wrong?
Maybe I'm ovulating twice?

I did not expect to see so much EWCM at 9dpo!

Extra CM is expected in the days and weeks after your period. I know it's a sign of pregnancy, but I also have experienced large amounts of CM (all kinds) in the week or so leading up to my period, too.

Don't overthink it - you'll drive yourself nuts!

Thank you Magenta and Nsking... each day IS getting a better. Hopefully, this next cycle is it for all of us! Are you ladies all charting/temping? Anyone going to try anything different this month? I'm seriously considering a fertility monitor, but I know for sure I will continue with the softcups (used last cycle).

Sunanshu- You are such a strong and brave woman! What a tough journey you have been on....so inspiring. It's hard when to know to "relax" like the doctor says and when to get another opinion or demand a more proactive approach. I think you are wise in suggesting we don't waste too much time. I'm 33 (so wasting time for a first child when I want 2-3 is not an option), we have good insurance and my mind needs reassurance- to me these are all reasons to be more proactive. Thank you for sharing your experience, some of those things I had never heard of and I'm not sure my doctor would have informed me.... knowledge is power. I'm wishing you and everyone else lots of for this cycle!

Cannina- I agree with nsking, testing so early is probably more agonizing than it's worth. You may want to read the "impatient woman's guide to getting pregnant", it does a great job of describing cm, implantation and how to time testing. Good luck!

Hey Cannina, you and I are the same cycle days...we cycle buddies...

Good luck with the rest of your 2ww

(Hugs)

YEY! I've been wanting a cycle buddy. Ddid you test already? I'm going insane here... My husband just wants me to stop testing and have a glass of wine lol

I might've gotten the faintest EVER So faint I can't even capture it with the camera but I think it's there. Will retest tomorrow.

WISH ME LUCK Just in time for Bastille!

Awe yay! GOod luck! I hope it get darker tomorrow!!!

I too get EWCM some times after O and leading up to AF...I have read it could just be a change in hormones (natural occurrence) that causes it.

My friend seriously told me to try to get as upside down as possible after BDing...I am no gymnast and I read that doesn't even work. I'd like to think putting a pillow under my pelvis is helpful, but it gets boring and uncomfortable after 10 minutes. So, maybe I will be trying that along with preseed, opks again and Guaifenesin for my CM. We shall see if it works.

Oh wow! Congrats!!!! So awesome...kmp!

Nope, I'm away the wk end with friends, so not testing yet...prob test Mon. Or I might be brave and wait...

*sigh*

Hi everyone!!

Today I felt a pricking pain for just 2 mins in the right side of my uterine area and I am 7 dpo. Could that be implantation pain? After two mins it did not recur till now. Does implantation pain occur on and off too in some women?
I have to see it it occurs again.
