Hi,

I'm new to this site. I just want to introduce myself. My name is Angel. My husband and I have been TTC for about 4 months. I was pg back in December and had m/c in February. My husband is in the military, so is gone at times when O. I usually have a cycle of 26-28 days. I have been using OPK showing that I am O-ing. This month was suppose to O on 7/24, but had a lot of CM on 7/20. I hadn't starting an OPK because I wasn't expecting it so soon. I have been using one since Monday and each day it has been negative. I'm wondering if I already ovulated when I had the CM. Is it possible to O on CD 10(possibly early)? My husband left on Monday, so we BD on Sat and Sun just in case. Does anyone know how long sperm can live before reaching the egg??

Hi Angel, and welcome! It is possible to O on CD10- if your cycle is going to change from month to month, it changes in the # of days pre-O, but not usually the number of days after-O- does that make sense? My cycles are usually 26-28 days as well. The amnt of time that the swimmers can live depends on your CM- during the most fertile stuff (EWCM), they can live for up to five days. HTH's! GL to you!

Thanks Annie,

Yes I understand what you are saying. It seems that is what has been happening. My days are changing in the first half of my cycle. It is just very frustrating. My husband and I got pregnant the first month we tried last time and then I had the miscarriage. So I am not being very patient. I'm am just keeping my fingers crossed. It is horrible waiting the last two weeks of every month!!!
