Is it normal to have loads of EWCM after ovulation?

Question

I ovulated on Day 10 but i started getting ewcm on day 12 up until day 17. Why would that be?

Answer 1

The typical stretchy and fertile cervical mucus (spinnbarkeit) develops under the influence of estrogen hormones. Estrogen rises normally twice during the menstrual cycle: Just before ovulation and again about 7-10 days later. It is this second rise that can give the appearance of fertile mucus again, though it has nothing to do with ovulation or fertility. You could be pregnant, but making the diagnosis of pregnancy just from changes in the cervical mucus is too unreliable.

Answer 2

Very interesting.  And I guess you are sure you ovulated on Day 10 either because of charting and/or ovulation test kits.  I wonder what your temperature shifts looked like from days 8-20 and if that data could provide more information?  I'm curious what that basel pattern looks like.  Oh, and your cervical position data, if you have that...

Either way, it just sounds like you have some high quality EWCM ~ I'm jealous. ;-)
