OPK importance

[TA Sait]

When the see the first EWCM is it the first day of fertile window??

[atomic sagebrush]

No. You can have EWCM for many days before the true fertile window even opens. And even for a couple days after ovulation sometimes.

Ohhh. I was wondering the start is the first day of FW and the end is the last day of FW... Will see to it now

No, it would be handy if it was true but unfortunatley it isn't the case.

Good afternoon..
So tensed atomic. My cycle length is 27 days, I used to bleed for full 4 days.. ll pretty much have an idea of when I probably ovulate.
Problem here is that, this month my periods are too light.. Today is my cycle day 3. I didn't bleed like before even for 2 days (maybe because of the LE diet) Is this normal?? Will that fluctuate my fertile days or ovulation??
I seriously don't have an idea of when I should do the opk??? Which cycle day do you want me to start with opk??
Please help atomic:-(

That is very common with pink swayers. Many of us noticed our periods became lighter when swaying pink, myself included.

The length of your period has nothing to do with your fertile days.

I'd like you to start OPK CD 8-10 so you can see them go from negative to positive. In future months when you're used to them, you can start them later.

Ok atomic thank you so much.
I ll start with opk from cycle day 9...
TY

Atomic help ASAP..
I just did the OPK and I got a +line, the test line is same colour as the control line. Is it the best time to do my one attempt?? Or should I wait till tomorrow for the line to get darker??

[TA Sait]

And atomic will I get pregnant with no EWCM.
Before swaying I had lots of it but this cycle I have zero EWCM?? Is it ok to DTD without any EWCM?? :-(

[atomic sagebrush]

Yes it is fine to TTC with no EWCM. Many people hope for that with a girl, although I'm not convinced it matters. (I got pregnant with no EWCM, and I didn't even realize I had ovulated even though I was testing pH 2-3 times a day. I got a boy despite that!)

Attempt now! It's your first positive, not the darkest.
