I'm just starting to learn to track my CM and use OPK's and everything - kind of confused.
My husband and I have had all sorts of sex lately and yesterday I had what appeared to be the absolute definition of stringy strechy CM...it was see-through and it did not break between my fingers when stretched, today it was similar except it did break (I also had lower abd pain yesterday and today).
If I am understanding what I've read correctly, THAT is the super fertile good CM you want, right? We tried the night before (13th) so I thought maybe we hit the jackpot, but I took an OPK and it came out negative? (he's now out of town - no trying for a week)
What does that mean? Could that "CM" actually have been old sperm from the NIGHT BEFORE (what about today)? I don't really know how long it takes to leave your body or what it looks like. I tested (OPK) yesterday afternoon around 5:30, I'd had nothing to eat or drink the previous 4 hours, it was negative again today.
What do you all think?

For some reason, I think people may think I took a pregnancy test? No, I took an OVULATION test...it says I'm not yet ovulating but I'm having fertile mucous...that's my question :)

I never tracked my CM. I simply used the OPK. I actually ovulated 9 days after the START of my menstrual cycle. This means 3 days after my period ended. Try testing for ovulation starting on the 8-9 day after your period starts. I bet you'll find out you are ovulating much earlier than you think you are.

Could be ovulating, and yes could have some left over sperm in it. Sperm lives for up to 72 hours and has to go somewhere. And you cant get a positive result that soon anyway.

Wait a little longer. You took the test way too soon. Wait a few more days and take another. I know you're anxious but just WAIT a little bit.

I trtied this with both kids and i got pregnant after first try. Go to babycenter.com and go to ovulation calculator. It tells you to input the first day of your last period and then it will tell you what days you are fertile.........that is if you have regular periods. Good Luck!
