Cycle day 9 and egg-white?

Question

I am taking Femara and am on cycle day 9. Every month I've taken Femara I've gotten a positive OPK on day 14 or 15.

However, this month I've really started paying attention to my cervical mucus, (read Toni Weschler's book--lol) and I started taking baby aspirin, Vitamin E, vitamin B complex, and drinking raspberry tea.

I had a BM (sorry TMI) this afternoon and found lots of eggwhite cervical mucus. Copious and stretchy. So hubby and I baby danced, but I was wondering----

1) has anyone ovulated that early with Femara? (or had their ovulation date change?)

2) would any of the stuff I'm taking this month (baby aspirin, Vitamin E, vitamin B complex, raspberry tea) cause me to ovulate earlier?

Or is this just some weird random eggwhite? I haven't been testing OPK's yet, since it was so early in my cycle.

Thanks!!

Answer 1

EWCM on CD9 is good.  I have ewcm on CD9s too.

You may have gotten it early this cycle cause of Femara.  You may have more than one dominant follicle developing which has increased ewcm.

Fertility drugs can either make you ovulate earlier or later.  I suppose it goes according to the body chemistry of each unique woman.

I would begin OPKs.  You may ovulate sooner than you expect.

Answer 2

It could possible be that you ovulated early this cycle.  I think your body is getting use to Femara.  You can ovulate early without any help.  I just ovulated last month by surprise, day 10,  I always ovulated day 15.  I was caught off guard.  When you ovulate is when all the follies are making good estrogen to allow LH to be released and then subsequently the ovulation occurs.  So to me that's a good sign but just make sure your Luteal Phase is adequate.
