I have a likliness question for you all. Me and DH are not trying to concieve...but all we use and have ever is the pull out method. Well this is my first month of tracking CM and it have really confused me...and I think we BD with a "boo boo" and it appears to be 2 days before I think I ovulated. Here is what I have noted for the following days...what day do you think I most likely O'd on? You think the sperm from the day of the accident were still alive and well? Anyways...here is what I noted:

On the 25, I have noted down this...Believe there was some EWCM today, has been the first day there was really any CM.....And that also has a BD of twice, with one "boo boo"

On the 26 I have noted....CM very minimal, not as stretchy as yesterdays...Been feeling yucky like AF on the way...

On the 27.....I have definatly identified EWCM today, a lot of it too...Cervix seems softer, but not really high.....continue with icky AF feel....Late tonight felt odd sharp pain on side, possible O?

On the 28....There seems to be a lot of CM, but its more watery, not as stretchy....Icky AF feeling is gone now....Cervix seems much lower today.....BD once, but no apparent "boo boos"

Sounds like to me you O'd on cd 27 ! Rember it is normal to get patchs of ewcm in a cycle BUT when you O it will be more plentful then all the others.YOur BD was perfect timing so your chance is probally 30% just like all the rest of us! The only way to know is wait to see if af arrives and test!

ok, now i'm even more confused....There seems to be some EWCM today, but not tons, but I did just get out of bed, and my cervix feels even softer and swollen, it still never went up high though. I was monitering this month because of weird AF, though maybe I wasn't O at all lately. Does it sound like maybe I havn't O? I got that icky AF feel again. Either that or is it possible to O more than once, this close? I do have fraternal twins...but I though you just released two at once.

Well i still think you o'd on cd 27 ! I always have af cramps after O untill af shows and I have ewcm through my cycle ! The day with the most ewcm is probally the day ! Have you tried temping thats the best indicator of O if your not using OPKs !

Hi, I'm sure when you O'd, I'm still trying to figure that stuff out for myself but I do know that sperm can live inside you for 48 hours and that the pull out method isn't always reliable. Sperm can be in the pre-ejaculation. Hope things go the way you want it to.

Ok...back again to say things are strange. I'm starting to really think I may get AF really early or something. I have had it come 2 weeks, and 1 week early before. I am having some pretty bad cramps, and low back pain, feeling sick to stomach, having hot flashes, and some diarhea....all of which I get when I get AF. No sign of blood though, so i'll wait and see. And the observation of my CM this morning was incorrect, there isn't really any there now. I'm really feeling like crap right now....
