CM and timing

Hey ladies!

So heres a quick recent background: I had a miscarriage with a suction d/c on April 15th. I bled lightly fromt he 15th to the 21st. Then no bleeding on the 22, 23, or 24. Then bled lightly again for a few days. Obviously I have no idea where I am in my cycle and we didn't plan on it and were are not doing my temps, opks or anything as we needed a little break from all that. So I have been having light/infrequent menstrual like cramps for the last 2 days but no bleeding and its hit and miss with the cramps. then last night i went to the bathroom at about 630pm and when i wiped i definately had egg white discharge on the toilet paper. My hubby and i baby danced at about 830 as well as yesterday.  Do you think I missed our opportunity this month or was it good timing?  Thoughts?  Take a look at my tracker please. Oh and the last few days I've been nauseated.  I've lost 3 babies total but this was the only one that I had a d/c with so i'm new to how things go.

Thanks ladies.

P.S. Today we are having the memorial service at our hospital for all the lost babies, with a chapel service, walk to the cemetery and group session.  Maybe God was sending us a message last night?... I have to try to keep the faith :) I miss my babies a lot today :(

Thanks. We bd that night (2hrs after i noticed the EWCM but have not since then. I did not have any more EWCM after that one time so I hope we got it.  Do you think it pays to BD tonight? or have we missed anymore opportunity?

I've also been having pain on my right side (ovary area) for the last two days (kinda worries me)

if you see eggwhite cm do the BD.  Sperm can survive for a few days in this type of mucous.  You will usually ovulate at the end of the EWCM.  How long you have that for is different for different women.  However, they say when you see ewcm bd immediately and then at every day or at worst every second day.

Relax and enjoy your hubby!

For me at least I feel far more like bd when I'm about to ovulate.  So go on your feelings as well.

what do you mean by the 24-36hr time frame? so we should of waited to baby dance until 24-36hrs later? or is the eggwhite usually mean ovulation has just occurred? thanks!

The egg white mucus is a pretty good indication that you were ovulating... now there is no telling about the time the egg released and if it was within the 24 to 36 hour time frame....

After a d/c you usually more fertile too ( just what I've heard)

I'm sorry about your losses :( Hope this works for you !!

Good luck to you :)
