| Help with Ovulation Hi everyone
Our son was stillborn in January and we have been ttc again for a few months with no luck.
So this month, against my better judgement I have been POAS to see if we can pinpoint ovulation. Day 18 today of maybes 32/33 day cycle. There is no sign of a line at all. But (TMI time) today I have some EWCM. There has been a change from watery cm to more like ewcm today.
So, what I am wondering is if it is possible to be ov but not having a positive stick. We will keep DTD anyway  but very curious. A bit anxious as last month managed a 32 day cycle- had 40 and 49 previously. Awfully scared that I am just not ovulating. Im 32.
Thank you
Lesley

xx | Hi Lesley,
Im so sorry about your son. That must have been awful.
Which OV tests are you using? I was using some cheap ebay ones and I never got a +ve with them. I knew I was Ov'ing cos I get pain in my side. I bought a CB Smiley one and got a +ve that day.
Its good that you have EWCM though, thats usually a sign.

| HI there
thanks. Not ovulating is my biggest worry- will give to when next AF comes and if it does, and not pg, will go and see our GP. I fell with Bobo in 6 weeks....so this going on for almost 6 months is pretty hard. I think that as we are now 8 months on from his birth, my body should have settled back from the shock somewhat. this ttc business is awfully hard.
Good luck to you all
Lesley

| I am not a big POAS fan, but have read in these forums on many occasions that you can ovulate but not get a positive line, cos there is a narrow time in which it is positive and you may miss it.
The other thing is how many days do you normally get ewcm for? Cos if its 4 days for example, then you wouldnt expect the stick to be pos til tmrw if today was your first day of it.
At least I think thats right, but am happy to stand corrected by opk experts...! | | | | Status: Offline
