Answer 1

Hi there,

Some months I get ewm during my period, but then again about mid cycle. You potentially can ovulate at any time of your cycle so its tricky to know...

Basically, the best way to have all possible times covered is to bd every other day all thorugh the month (hard work though!).

Good luck :-)

It's crazy...here you are, trying your darndest to get pregnant..and then on Yahoo answers, you see 13 year olds posting dumb questions about how they became pregnant and how they're so scared! *gasp*

It's almost a joke, really. My husband and I tried to conceive for a while year. Last year around Thanksgiving time, it finally happened. I think it wasn't happening for a whole year because I was stressing so much over it. I kept thinking about the baby. I kept counting days, researching my ovulation charts, reading about all kinds of crazy methods to conceive a child. I had baby on the brain. Finally in November last year, I gave up. I had a move to think about. I had to pack things, clothes, furniture...had to get an apartment, start paying new bills with my husband, make a road trip to our new state..things were hectic and I forgot about baby-making, and somewhere around that time, it happened. I think when you are anticipating a child, your body isn't going to respond only because of how the stress hormones are high even though you don't know it. And this can even put your cycle off. It sucks, really. I have some really helpful sites for you though..you should check them out:

Good luck..I know it's so freakin frustrating...but it will happen. Like I said, we tried for a year..now I'm 37 weeks and almost ready to say Hello to my own little one. I do wish you the best.

whats ewcm?? sorry but do you mean like discharge??

Answer 5

For those who don't get it - EWCM is "Egg White Cervical Mucus" - the consistency that is commonly found during the most fertile phase of your cycle. It is clear, stretchy and slippery - ideal for sperm survival and travel.

As far as having it during your period and possible ovulating during your period - I think it is unlikely. You are having your period because you already ovulated, and that egg was not fertilized. The discharge you are seeing is probably a normal part of the "stuff" (uterine lining) being shed during your period.
