I am still trying to figure out how to tell when I am ovulating. I am not doing BBT as it has not been successful for me in the past. According to my chart that I have done on Fertility Friend and BabyMed, I should have ovulated on the the 28th of Sept. My last period started Sept 15th. I dont really know what CM is supposed to look like during OV. time. I know at times it is supposed to be eggwhite-ish and other times it is clear. I had sex on the 24th, 25th, 27th, and the 1st. I have been TTC for almost 2 yrs but only in the last 4 months have been able to pinpoint my cycles and get down that I have 29 day cycle. I am not sure what my luteal phase is. I should start again on the 14th of Oct. Can anyone explain why I am so tired lately, had a little cramping on the 30th and 1st, and why my breasts are more than just a little tender?

I also started taking Red Clover on the 29th to increase my chances in the future months

According to your dates you should have ovulated sometime between Sept. 28th and Sept. 30th. It takes 6-12 days after ovualtion for the embryo to completely bed itself into the uterine lining which would have made it sometime between oct. 5th - oct. 12th. It then takes 2 days after its embedded for your body to start producing HCG which is the hormone that causes fatigue, nausea, mood swings, etc.... By the information you provided I don't believe that what you are experiencing at this point is due to pregnancy. Not saying that you're not pregnant but you should not be having signs yet because the baby might not even be embedded yet. If you think that you're pregnant you can make yourself feel the phantom symptoms way before they ever occur. I would wait until up to a week past your missed period and then test. As for the CM when ovulating, it is clear and stretchy and there is a large abundance of it. It'll prob make you feel like you peed your pants.

I'm not sure what you're asking about cm and ttc. CM during ovulation should be clear with eggwhite consistency, kind of stretchy, and it will turn creamy just after O.
Cannot address your symptoms since they're different for each woman.

Well you could be pregnant. Buy a home pregnancy test and find out. Have you tried the ovulation predictor kits? I hear they're better.
