1st Trimester
I have a dumb question about ovulation and a little tmi
so in fertility friend it says I should be ovulating end of this week but I noticed this morning I have some CM so that does that mean I might already be ovulating or that I'm close to?

Re: I have a dumb question about ovulation and a little tmi
Are you also temping? How long have you been charting?
If I remember correctly, my EW CM usually showed up a little before I o'ed.
And your cycle isn't set in stone. I o'ed 3 days early after running a marathon when we conceived this little belly monster. (I used the CBEFM instead of charting.) Maybe you're just "off" this cycle. Can't hurt to have a little extra sex today
Have you done the tutorials on FF? They are very helpful.
I have EWCM pop up at different times in the cycle outside of ovulation.
I don't temp because honestly I have no clue how to. LOL
It's kind of like egg white and sticky.
I think I'm going to run out and get a ovulation predictor. but you're right a little sex wouldn't hurt today lol.
I think temping is the easiest part - I do it while still in bed. Really, do those tutorials, they give you step by step instructions on everything. And as I understand it the OPKs aren't always definite (I never used them) - you have to combine all of your signs in order to figure out your ovulation date.
Okay, quick lesson...temping is just taking your temperature the same time every day when you wake up. This will confirm ovulation has happened. Some websites say ovulation occurs on the 14th day of your cycle, which is totally untrue. So I would start charting by taking your temperature every day and logging it on fertility friend.com. My egg white CM was sometimes 4 or 5 days before my O, so I couldn't rely on that alone. Save your money on the predictor, temping can tell you exactly when. GL.
ok maybe I will go with the temping ....... another dumb queest
what kind of thermometer? any?
No, you will need to purchase a basal body thermometer.
Good Luck!!
