Fertile CM after O??

Hello,

I just had a question as to whether anyone has had fertile cm about 3 days after O? What's strange is that I got a + on OPK on Saturday. Then, - on Sunday. I had very little CM and what I thought was a very strong O pain for a few hours on Sunday. So, we Bd'd. I started getting EWCM yesterday (and a slgiht tugging, not nearly as sharp, but on the same side, like O pain). I also check CP. My CP was high and soft on Sat night/Sun morning and then very low and hard on Mon and Tues. Wed night it went high again. The OPK was negative on Wednesday at around 2pm. Could I have O'd twice? Was one a false alarm? Anyone have fertile CM twice in one cycle? Could I have O'd twice??! Twins! LOL! My chart "thinks" I O'd on Sunday (which is what I think. Thanks in advance.

Hi Kellie,

I often have EWCM after I O. I'm not really sure why, but it's just there. I always make sure we still bd just in case my temps were wrong.

I'm not really sure about O-ing twice though. I think I've read both that it is possible and that it's not. Sorry to not be of much help.

I hope you got that little eggie, either way!

It's possible to have fertile CM post-O. There's an estrogen surge in the days following O; depending on how big it is or long it lasts, you can have several days of creamy, watery or even EWCM.

Dual ovulation IS possible, but rather rare. In most cases, it occurs in the form of 2 eggs being released within 24 hours of one another. If fraternal twins run on your mother's side, you may be at an increased "risk" of this. There was also a recent study that found 12 out of 50 women ovulating more than once in a cycle, with one of the O's taking place contrary to all hormonal signs and over a week apart from the "real O."

Good luck to you!

Thank you so much! I just really hope that I O'd on Sunday, because we haven't had a chance to BD since! So, if O occured on Wednesday, or even today, than I am probably out this cycle. Thanks for the encouragement though. I have never experienced fertile cm after O like that. :-)
