Thanks Atomic! Yes we are both Washingtonians Hope you had a great Thanksgiving!

I am trying to patiently wait out the 2WW. Fingers crossed I actually caught an egg. I had a ton of EWCM over a 3 day period over Thanksgiving so now not sure if I ovulated late cd 19/20? I know my lp is at least 13 days and my cycle is always 28/29 days so we shall see what's happened this month, maybe it will be a week later. I'm all confused but all I can do is bed so bed I did

Haha actually trying for a baby is more complicated then I ever imagined!

Yes thanks and hope yours was great as well!

You can get a burst of EWCM 7 days after ovulation, this is called the secondary estrogen surge and it may have been what went on this weekend.

Why is there ewcm 7 days after ovulation? Thinking back I've noticed it and was wondering where it came from or why.

Your corpus luteum (the hole that your egg comes out of, that produces progesterone to maintain your uterine lining and allow a baby to implant) begins to break down at about that point, and your body poofs out a little bit of extra estrogen to keep the lining going for another week or so. By this point, the baby will be snuggled in and sending a signal to your body to continue production of hormones to maintain the lining and prevent AF from coming.

Estrogen is what makes EWCM so your body gets a wee bit mixed up and occasonally makes some CM when that estrogen shows up.
