Hi Ladies,

This is definitely TMI, but tell me what you think. I had a m/c in March. Ever since then, my cycles are much longer and PMS even worse! (I used to start my period every 22 days and it would last for 5. Now I start every 26 days and it lasts for 5.)

By 'reading' my CM, I think I ovulated on day 10-11. Is this too early to ovulate (if there is such a thing as ovulating too early)? If my cycle stays the same, I won't be starting again until August 27 - - so I'd have a 19 day luteal phase. Is this abnormal?

Also, back to my CM (sorry). Last Tuesday/Wednesday while working out, I felt something on my upper/inner thigh. Lo and behold, there was a huge glob of CM! It wasn't totally clear, but very much like EWCM (very, very stretchy). (Should it be totally clear to be the most fertile??) The next day it was much more EWCM-like (more clear).

Again, don't mean to be gross, but want to make sure I'm reading my signs correctly.

Any info would be appreciated!

I know the "typical" luteal phase is 12-16 days... 19 might be a little long, but I'm not sure what impact that really has?

EWCM can sometimes be streaked or not totally clear. If it was that much, and that noticeable, I'd say it sounds like EWCM to me.

Good luck!

Well my O was on the 19th day, which was yesterday. My cycles are fairly irregular but my opk and cm showed definite O material. Good luck!

Karen,

My doc and I both now know that I O on cd10 of my 24 day cycle. It is not too early and it gives me an exact 14day luteal phase.

I used an OPK this month and bingo right on day 10 - positive. Sure hope it works.

And the CM described is as long as its stretchy - it's a go! Hope you got some good BD in that night or the next.

Good Luck and keep us posted.
