How long after egg white cervical mucus do you ovulate?

• I have read so many different answers. If I had heavy egg white cervical mucus does that mean I ovulated that day. Does that mean it is leading up to ovulation in a few days? I ...show more

  From my personal experience I just learned that EWCM is only a indicator of the onset of ovulation, every woman is different but this appears to be the case for me. I am beginning to notice that online calcs (like my monthly cycles) estimate my OV days to be about a few days after I first notice EWCM. For example, this past cycle I noticed EWCM on Apr 27th and the 28th (there was lots of EWCM) and the online calc estimated my OV day to be May 1st which makes sense b/c 14 days later on May 15th AF showed up (since supposedly there are 14 days btw Ovulation and your period---oh btw this is your Luteal Phase). So my advice is to BD on the days that you see EWCM (since it is fertile mucus) but also BD the days after (like 1-4 days max after seeing EWCM), try to make a pattern of BD'ing every other days for the few days around this time of your fertile window. The idea is to leave ample time or as little time as possible for the sperm/little swimmers to wait for and reach the egg. Hope this helps.... ~Good Luck and Baby Dust *~*~*~*~*~*~***~*
