Are you using opks? I had this on this cycle as well but still ovulated on cd14. I'm taking this as a good sign of better quality eggs, though I may be completely wrong! Let's hope for both of us that I'm right xx

Hi I will be using opk, but never do it this early in cycle?xx

I use the clear blue 4 or more days and started on cd7 this month despite the stretchy cm. I got a flashy face on cd11 (after 4 days of egg white stretchy cm) and static on cd14. I know I ovulated then as I get quite strong cramps xx

Are you on clomid?xx

[Hidden in reply to sammejayne]

No, I have a luteal phase defect so my problem is at the other end of the cycle! I've been told clomid wouldn't help us. But I've also read that to help the luteal phase, I need great quality eggs. So I started taking ubiquinol (CoQ10), royal jelly and vitex this month. I'm crediting that combo to my different cm pattern this month. I did get the strongest opk I've ever had so fingers crossed xx

How did you know you have a leutal phase defect xx

[Hidden in reply to sammejayne]

I spot from anything from 5dpo onwards, though my luteal phase is actually 14 days. Basically my progesterone drops early, not enough to bring on af, but enough to prevent successful implantation. It's taken 11 months to convince NHS specialists of that though! Xx

Ah I see, apparently I’m unexplained but I’m not convinced x

I was the same until Monday! What are your symptoms? Xx

If your oestrogen levels are rising then you are more likely to produce EWCM xxx
