You told me about doing compressed f/r... I decided to not tell d/h about it yet and get away with it without him knowing! so he doesnt get stressed about swaying he will have no idea when o is for me anyway

hi guys i need some help, sorry for long message but really need my ladies advice, i got 2 + opk yesterday on clearblue digital and an internet cheapie, but my cm was different to last month, it was white and stretchy but not like last month, my cervix was also not very soft i had been bloated for a few days and thought O was on its way, well i kept checking cervix and cm, and both stayed the same, went to bed and woke up my cervix is now very very low and hard, my temp has rose but my cm is still the same ???? (white globy, stretches but not loads) is this the diet thats done this to my body ? or have i not really ovulated, im so confused, i dont know what to do as next month (my first attempt) we were planning a 0+12 well i have no idea when that was this month i dont even know if i did ovulate at all, i should be starting a tablet today that will make me bleed to start clomid as i had no idea i would ovulate on my own before hand..... im so confused and very fed up as it seems my plan of a 0+12 now is slipping away, anyone any advice would be very gratefully received,

if it stretches slightly I always consider that "transitional" CM, especially if it's not clear
if I'm not sure about what to class it as, I feel it's texture between my fingers - if it's slippery, I record it as EWCM. If it's less slippery, I put it as creamy.

so if i had ovulated in the night when would a 0+12 be ?

[rainbowflower]

It depends on what time you ovulated... that's part of the reason why O+12 is so risky, without an ultrasound it's virtually impossible to know the exact time OV was and even then it's only if you happen to be looking at the time. some women get OV pains around OV, but even then it's hard to know if it was pain because of the ovary swelling/pain during the egg release/pain due to your internals becoming irritated afterwards. Checking CM/cervix even can't be completely relied on, because that just changes in reaction to the progesterone after OV and there's no saying exactly how long it takes for your progesterone to increase enough to start to change things because that probably varies per person and per cycle too

However, better to attempt too early than too late, at least then you still have a shot at pregnancy.
