No, it is not, and in fact I just read a definitive study that totally debunked the idea that the lenght of follicular phase sways at all. IT doesn't.Quote:

So if you take a little longer to clear the estrogen from your system (which happens sometimes, we know this from temp charts with slow rises) then you can still have EWCM for a couple days after O has occured.Quote:

If O is delayed, then AF comes late too (unless you coinciedentally develop a short LP at the exact same time, which is not that likely)Quote:

Oh no!! I really didn't want to be putting pressure on you [emoji20] I'm sorry. I would just sometimes rather wait for your opinion if it's something I'm really really uncertain about and genuinely dont mind when or if the chance passes me by if it means I get your opinion first, which I can apply to next time xQuote:

It's seriously unlikely because your attempt would have been 5 or 6 days before O!! If you're just getting a pos OPK then you still have 1-2 days before O!Quote:

These long, long threads are sometimes hard for me to keep everything straight and follow it all from page to page.
I was going off of your statement you had attempt 4 days before O but then there was also all this stuff about the positive OPK so I jumped to the apparently erroneous conclusion you were tacking that onto the 4 days there. I guess I could have gone back and reread the whole thread before answering but I feel like I've already been pretty thorough in this thread. It doesn't matter, it's still low odds of conception without adding in an attempt.
Yes, 4 or even 3 days before O is low odds of conception.Quote:
