    No, it doesn't. WE have not found CM patterns to be very predictive of ovulation with many people noticing a drop in EEWCM 1-2 days before O even occurs, and then others having it 1-2 days after O. I had it for 2 days after O in the month I conceived my daughter.

    You don't. You can get close using NFP methods but cannot pin down day of O. The only way you can really know what day you ovulated on is having blood tests and ultrasounds at a doctor's office. The claims that are made on other sites about how to detect O with CM are unfortunately untrue (and this has been proven in scientific studies where even highly trained experts could not pin down their O day any better than 1 in 3 times using either temping or CM patterns.)

    And that is totally fine if that is what you want to do. What we urge you to do, though, is not stick to Shettles timing forever while adding tons of other things that sway blue. Most of us on here have 2-3-4 or more Shettles opposites and so it makes us nervous to see a person get overly focused on timing since we know it doesn't work.

    Start off doing the sway tactics you want and see if you get pregnant. Maybe you will. Or, more likely in our experience, you WON"T get pregnant with a super strict sway and you will then need to decide what to change in order to get pregnant. Drop the things that do not work and cut odds of conception BEFORE you drop the things that really sway!!

    The problem with "doing the opposite" is that you have to do the opposite on the things that are actually swaying. Too many people "do the opposite" on timing or whatever and then miss the big picture that the real reason they had boys was diet or lifestyle or some other thing entirely and then they end up with another boy!!

    Excellent!! That is the most important thing and then if you want to try timing too, that's fine. I just hate to see people rely on timing because it sure didn't work for me (4 times LOL)

    It doesn't necessarily mean anything, I would go to every 4 day attempts from here on in.

    It can simply mean that your body is taking a while to clear the hormone, or it may mean that you geared up to O, then your body decided to wait a couple days, then it geared up to ACTUALLY O, or it may just mean you need to try a different brand of OPK.

    Did you have any unprotected sex after that?

    My guess would be that you either missed a positive (sometimes urine is dilute so you miss the earliest OPK) and then ovulated before you think you did OR Oed the absolutely earliest CD 16.

    The odds are 000001% you got pregnant with an 8 day cutoff. just doesn't happen.
