EWCM for a week straight? Does it mean I haven't ovulated yet?

prznaroosak · April 2019

Starting last week I started having clear discharge so I assumed it was the days leading up to ovulation. Then mid-week I started having tons of white stretchy discharge. Afterwards I still had some clear discharge and today I saw I had yellow cm. Did I already ovulate, or is it normal to have discharge after ovulation?

According to the ovulation calendar I should have ovulated a few days ago. I have 4 week cycles. (exactly 28 days.)

Hello! We cannot tell you if have ovulated. We are but strangers on the internet. Ovulation can only be confirmed by basal body temperature rise or ultrasound. I recommend the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility for more information on using basal body temperature to confirm ovulation.

Doing one off posts/individual discussions are not encouraged here. There are lots of opportunities to ask trying to get pregnant (TTGP) questions in various threads. We are community that believes you must give support in order to receive it.

If you choose to stick around this board is a fantastic resource. It is full of knowledgeable women! We like order and appreciate it when people follow the rules. It makes interacting easier.

These should answer some questions and help with the terminology and abbreviations that are used on TB. It will also help you understand the daily Waiting to Ovulate (WTO) & Two Week Wait (TWW) threads.

2. Lurk: Click on threads. See what these recurring posts are all about. Find your niche.

3. Use the search bar at the bottom of the screen. Many women have sought answers to the same questions.

4. Introduce yourself: go to Newbie Intro W/O (Current week)- If the current week does not happen to be up yet, please post on the previous week’s post. We no longer do individual posts to introduce ourselves.

5. Start contributing on the appropriate threads.

What to do about this post? You can’t delete it. You can ask @ BumpAdmin to close the discussion. It will eventually drop down to the bottom. Please don’t delete your original post or discussion title (referred to as a dirty delete or DD on this board). The hope is that new members who lurk before they post will see this and learn from this post as well. This is why you may see someone quoting your original post with the abbreviation QFP (Quote for Posterity). The best thing to do now is to simply apologize and move on.

Have a wonderful day!

Edit: removal of phrase that does not pertain to this situation and adding of book recommendation.
