Periods but no ovulation?

AriannasMama · Nov 23rd, 2009, 01:14 AM

Hello ladies! Alright so after being on the pill for just over 2 years I stopped taking it last January then was on and off it again for about 2-3 months. All of that time I have had a pretty normal cycle, a period every 28 days, and before the pill I also had a normal period, every 28 days. Is it possible to get a period but not be ovulating? Sometimes mid-cycle I do get those faint cramps, but never any of the egg white cervical mucus, mine is almost always slippery, clear and thin, and around mid-cycle its the same way but thicker, kinda like snot...tmi, sorry. So is that possible or does it sound like I am ovulating?

Sounds like you are ovulating from what you've described, thin and slippery is also classed as fertile cervical mucus, I dont get either and I still ovulate, used to on bc but none since I stopped, go figure!

The snotty stuff is EWCM I believe. The only way to be sure that you are ovulating is to temp....but it sounds like you have all the signs. x
