EWCM after ovulation?

[vilandra]

Is it possible to have EWCM only after ovulation?

This month I had a +OPK last sunday afternoon, but did´t really have EWCM at that point.
On monday the OPK was still clearly positive, I had cramps and was sure that I ovulated on that day.
On tuesday evening I started having EWCM, wednesday there was even more and I had really strong cramps. Out of curiosity I took another OPK, but it was negative. The EWCM was still present the next day.

Last month was similar. I had my regular Ob Gyn check up one day after I had my first +OPK. I had no EWCM at that point. My doctor knows we´re trying to conceive and when I told her about the +OPK she performed an ultrasound. She said the egg must have been already released. One day after the ultrasound (3 days after +OPK) I started having EWCM for about 3 days.

So is it common to have EWCM after ovulation? I always thought after ovulation the CM changes to creamy and sticky? Or did I get that completely wrong?

That's interesting! I get EWCM after ovulation sometimes. Usually a day or two before AF if I get it after ovulation that month.

I have gotten it after ovulation sometimes including the month I had my daugher. If I had waited around to attempt till my CM turned sticky I would not have a daughter. I didn't have much at all till the day we DTD (which turned out to be O-1, confirmed by ultrasound) and then I had it for the next 2-3 days.

Atomic, I did a cheapie pregnancy test I am 11dpo it was negative still early if AF doesnt show by the 16th I will test again. If I am pregnant, hopefully I have been swaying enough to help sway for a girl! Soo nervous!
