TFAS or Charting TTA CM ?

Anyone notice random EWCM while BFing? We are TTA until Aug but I am having EWCM off and on for months. I just got my first pp AF and I am not temping yet just using OPKs. Are wacky hormones to blame? Edit clarification: anyone else notice fertile CM that doesn't coincide with ovulation while BFing?

    If you are getting EWCM, then you need to be charting if you are TTA. There's no way to know if your AF was annovulatory or not since you're not temping.

    I had EWCM for a couple of days a couple of months ago but still haven't had my first PP AF.

    This....or using another form of protection.

    Yeah. That wasn't my question but thanks.

    If you really want to use charting for TTA, then make sure you familiarize yourself with the rules/guidelines on when to abstain or or using another form of BC. Like I said already, if you're wanting to avoid, you need to be charting now. There will be bouts of EWCM, perhaps many, while BF. they may or may not mean ovulation is approaching. Which is why you should be temping... So that you confirm ovulation has occurred. The on again, off again EWCM with no AF or ovulation is what makes PP charting trickier than when your cycle normalizes again.

    OP, I have this issue. I still EBF (6x a day) but AF came back in Jan. I am temping & charting religiously, and am definitely ovulating (my charts are almost textbook). I've been getting EW or watery CM off and on long after I have ovulated and should be dry. I'm chalking it up to crazy hormones (my OB said the same since I'm still BF).
