Hi Ladies,

This may sound like a silly question. Here it goes...

Do we still ovulate if we are pregnant? Reason I ask is because I keep getting positives on my 99 cent store tests and my period was odd this month. I feel pregnant but when I take an expensive test they are all negative. Makes me think the cheap one is a fluke, but I have like taken 10 of them, no joke and they are all positive. Anyway my period ended which was short and now I have some discharge that I usually get before I ovulate. So I am bummed because maybe I am not really pregnant and my body is now starting over.

Any thoughts ladies??

No you do not ovulate when you are pregnant. The CM you are talking about is probably because you are pregnant. Shortly after your period is due your body produces extra CM to form the mucous plug in your cervix which keeps any foreign substances (douch, sperm, infection) from entering the uterus where the baby is. If you have been getting positives, I would say go to the doctor and have them run a test. I doubt after ten tests you could have gotten all faulty ones. Good Luck

You do not ovulate when your pregnant, there have been some rare cases of this happening, but extremely rare. When you say you have taken 10 tests and gotten a positive are you talking ovulation kit tests or HPT tests?

If you are talking ovulation tests and you are getting positives and are following the directions accordingly on the box then I would say you are ovulating now. What is your cm like is it creamy, or is it slick and thick (it would look like egg whites and be stretchy)

If it is slick and looks like egg whites and is stretchy then you are more than likely ovulating.

I agree with Tasha.....that is true. I am 9 weeks pg and still have that creamy CM and a lot of it. I also doubt that all those tests would be faulty! Go have your blood drawn and see if it's true! Let us know!

BTW~ My first positive was a dollar store hpt. I didn't believe it b/c I have heard they can have evap. lines, etc. It was a very very faint line, but it was right! I still have it, too!
