I think I screwed up

I think I messed up my O days. Maybe one of you can help me make sense of this. Here's the rundown:

Last month AF came on the 6th (the month before that it was on the 13th) so my cycle was 25 days.

AF ended 8/11. So if CD 1 was on the 6th then I would be on CD 28 today, right?

Now, I didnt use OPK's but I put my dates into a website and they said that I would be O-ing on 15, 16, 17th of the month. I thought I was O-ing that week too. But a few days ago I had EWCM. Was the online calculator wrong or no? Ugh I wish I could totally block all this from my brain!

Re: I think I screwed up

Honestly I'm no good with this stuff, so I can't really help. But I wanted to say that when I was pregnant with my son, and my last pregnancy ((when I miscarried)), I had EWCM after I O'ed ALOT, this is how I knew I was pregnant, because that normally didn't happen to me.

Re: I think I screwed up

Today is definitely CD 28. I would have to say the online calculator said you would O from the 15th-17th based on a 25 day cycle. I think its very possible you didnt really O during that time because your body might still be adjusting from the d&c. 25 days seems like a short cycle; maybe this one is going to be longer and thats why you are getting the EWCM.

I would go by the EWCM. Keep bd'ing and if it doesnt happen this cycle, start using an OPK around CD12 next cycle.

Def on CD28...
Eventhough you had a 25 day cycle last month it's hard to use that as a guide since you are recovering from the D&C. You could be having a longer cycle this month. I would go by your body and not the calculator since it's not an exact science. Good Luck!

Re: I think I screwed up

Thank you ladies! I was confused bc I did get the EWCM during the time the calculator told me I was Oing. Then I got it again. So I"m thinking you're right about the cycle just being longer this month. I tested today and got a BFN so I guess I'll jsut wait and see. Thanks again!

just saw that Lisa said the same thing i just wrote...oops! ITA

Re: I think I screwed up

I can't offer much help here. I follow my body but I can imagine that your body is still out of whack a bit after all of this so might not be running like you are used to. I have no clue what my body is doing..lol

I am just going to BD like 3-4 times a week after AF till it comes again and I am hoping it will work like it did the first time..lol

My doctor told me originally when I started trying that if I do that (well he said 2-3 times a week) then I would be fine.

Women got pregnant way before they had websites and OPKs to tell them when they O!

Good luck! try not to focus on it...if that's possible..lol

Re: I think I screwed up

Thanks everyone! The first time around trying we just did our thing and it worked. No counting or charting. I kept telling myself I wasnt gonna stress myself out and now here I am making weird notations all over my calendar!

Re: I think I screwed up

sometimes i get EWCM after i O'ed too.. like around the time AF is supposed to come..

or you could being Oing way later than normal.. because of the MC..
but i dont think it would be that off.
