Is it too late?

So I usually get a positive OPK on the 8th of every month. But today I didn't. I'm thinking it's probably because I ovulated a little sooner this month. I'm assuming so because I usually don't get CM until the 4th. And it will only last a few days. But this month for some reason I started to get CM starting on the 1st all the way until yesterday(the 7th) My question is, Should DH and I still BD tonight? Or should I just wait until positive OPK? Thank you :)

What are you doing to sway? A lot of the sway tactics can dry up/prevent/change CM. Have you been doing any OPKs before today? Going off of the CM alone I would be inclined to think O was delayed, not early.

It's interesting that your cycle matches up with the calendar. A variation of 1-3 days between cycles (28-31 day cycles) isn't unusual, but it would be incredibly convenient for it to line up with the calendar. I would be careful to chart by cycle day though, not just date.

Thank you foxtrotmama. I have been following the LE diet for 5 and a half months now. And in the past 3 weeks I got a little bit more strict with the diet. That's why I'm surprised that I actually got more CM than usual. I only did an OPK on the 3rd and 8th as I was getting low on the OPK's. Both came out negative. I usually have a 32 day cycle. But maybe you are right. Maybe O has been delayed. I'm going to chart and continue using the OPK's.

Your CM patterns and O day and all the rest can change very dramatically so I am not sure you can count on any of that. I suspect you may actually be Oing later, not earlier, so I would have attempt now and then either keep testing with OPK or else have attempts every 4 days.

I agree and I would be very wary to trust the calendar days instead of cycle days. I'm not doubting you in any way, please understand (I've often randomly gotten my period on the first of the month, often enough to see a trend that way, but there are still lots of excepions!) but just that it is very likely to vary from that.
