So I've been paying attention to my cycles a lot since starting a diet similar to LE. So basically since late September, early October. I've noticed that my periods are heavy only the first day, then get light but still have bright red blood, by the end of the 2nd day, I am almost like spotting bright red blood and the it can either stop on day 3 and come back with even lighter spotting on days 4, 5, and 6 and 7. This month by CD6, I had sticky CM mixed in with dark red blood. The sticky seems to only last for a few hours and then I got some bright red blood mixed in with something that looks like EWCM on CD7. However, CD7, my cycle went to brown spotting but I'm noticing that when I have a BM, I am getting EWCM while wiping since CD6. So my question is does this mean I am fertile? The same thing happened last month but my OPK didn't become positive until a couple of days after the first EWCM showed up with a BM. I know for the past 2 months I've only seen EWCM when wiping after a bm for like 4 days and nothing really on my underwear where I would always have EWCM on my underwear at my fertile days. I know my cycles have changed from 28-29 days to 26 days. Just wondering if this is considered fertile b/c I'm due to go for an HSG tomorrow. I've had my FSH Estradiol and progesterone levels checked and everything seems to have come back normal. I'm getting so confused. BTW, sorry for TMI. Thanks for any responses

I think that seeing EWCM is be a good sign of fertility. I got some early this cycle also, like 2 days after af, and that is rare with me. I was excited though, since I hadn't seen EWCM in my past 4 cycles since getting off bc. My opk became positive 3 days later after seeing ewcm and from then on it's just been really watery. I am 2dpo and hoping this was a good sign and that I will see a bfp this time.

Yes it's totally normal. and yes it can mean you are fertile. As a general rule if you have EWCM the day before and the day after, that means you are fertile that day. But that also depends on the health and longetivity of your hubby's swimmers and when you ovulate. If you have EWCM on CD 6 and then don't O till CD 14, then it is very very unlikelyt hat you are going to get pg from BD on CD 6, if that makes any sense
