VERY TMI post on cm, sorry and possibility of POS OPK!

[sosapop]

I just took an OPK test and still have a very visible, but faded line. However, even though I took at least half a tube of rephresh yesterday I still have a lot of cm and it is very much like egg whites, and a lot when I wipe. And this is a sign of OV, right??? So I am planning on using another opk stick around 2, but I think I should make an attempt since my cm is pointing towards ovulation, right? Do you think the Vitex and SP can make your LH surge less detectable? Just wondering... I will take a zyrtec now to try to dry up, anything else?

THANKS!

The RepHresh can make discharge that appears like CM for some people. RepHresh does not dry up CM at all, it lowers pH. If the discharge is from the RepHresh, the Zyrtec won't help dry it up (but you should still take one.)

I would def. have an attempt if there's any doubt you could be ovulating.

With the herbs, anything is possible, but most people have reported LOTS of positive OPK rather than not having them.

Hi AS- yes, the reprhesh is different looking for me, almost a yellow tinge and clumpy cm. But today I had very clear and a long stretch of ewcm. I just took another test and it looks the same, faint line I just don't know if it means yes I am going through normal OV steps and I should DTD tonight or if I should wait for tomorrow?? My luck I DTD tonight and tomorrow there will be a double line!

DTD before you're sure you're Oing if there's any doubt, because at least you have an attempt!

[sosapop]

Hi Atomic! I did DTD last night, just contemplating a second attempt tonight because I worry I may have made too early of an attempt, if that is possible?? But oddly - and yes mind is probably playing with me, but slight cramping and bloating! Maybe OV beginning - IDK?

Yes, it's totally possible to have an attempt too early and all the sperm have died before your lovely eggo arrives to the party. I'd do a second attempt as long as you feel good about your sway in other ways.

I skipped a day in between our first attempt, is that ok to try tonight? Or should I try for an O+12? Don't know how to really determine it, but I would assume sometime now? DH also did not do a FR this morning or yesterday as a result of us thinking one attempt was enough...

[atomic sagebrush]

Well, if he didn't do FR then you may just want to leave it at one attempt. Or, you could do a hurry up FR, have him release once, dump it, then as soon as he can, DTD again using this second batch for your attempt. It probably makes no difference at all, just trying to play it safe.

I may try that... But I do think I'm Oing now, I am cramping up, odd bc usually it's OV pains not cramping.

you can have O pains after O too, esp. crampy ones because the Fallopian tubes contract to move the egg down the tube and into the uterus.
