Cervical mucus vs OPK

Good morning,

After some advice, I've asked my clinic this several times but it always kind of gets brushed over with no solid answer.

My cervical mucus never times up with when I get a positive ovulation test. I get the egg white mucus usually between days 13 and 16, but never get a solid smiley result on the OPK until day 18/19. Should I be going off the mucus or the OPK? Is there one that's more reliable than the other?

We're currently between transfers but have never been told categorically that we can't conceive naturally, just told it will be harder because I only have one tube and endo. Just curious as this has always been the case for me but no doctor will give me a straight answer

Thanks 😊

Difficult one as some women have more/less discharge than other Using sticks can depend on how concentrated your urine is . Maybe best way to overcome trying to predict fertile window is to have frequent intercourse in the hope that the sperm can keep the date with the egg Take a look at fertilitynetworkuk.org - Learn about fertility then select Fertility factsheets and scroll to Conception tips

Good luck with trying
