Hi, just a quick question. For the last
few months i've been trying to identify
when I am ovulating. I've noticed the
difference in discharge around the 15th -
18th day each month, which I know this is
when I am ovulating. But my question is,
can the time in the cycle of when a woman
ovulates change? This month I noticed the
watery discharge around the 10th day of my
cycle. Is it possible to ovulate anytime
in the cycle even though I normally
ovulate around the middle? My periods are
regular each month.
Anyones views are appreciated xx

I am by no means a fertility expert by my
ovulation day changes month to month. It
is usually right around the 15th but this
month I am already on day 18 and it has
not come. I am usually very regular with
my period and ovulation (as well as lute
phase). I monitor my temp and cervical
fluid. My mom was in town visiting so I
think that made my cycle a little wacky.
I have found that taking my tempeture is a
little more acurate for me when trying to
find out when I am ovulating. Some
people have cervical fluid throughout
their cycle. I guess after a few months
of monitoring it and you don't see why
they are so wacky, it might be worth
getting it looked at. My dr said that
the ovulation kits often predict after you
have already ovulated so I stopped using
them. My husband and I bd every other
day from cycle day 10 until I olvulate.
Needless to say, this month has been a
long bd period!

Hey, thanks for replying! I'm a bit
confused this month! As I said, I
normally only get the watery discharge
around the 15th day. But this month i've
had the watery discharge 3 times! Which
i've never really noticed before! So now
i'm wondering, can woman ovulate more than
once? This may sound like a stupid
question! But I dont know! My period is
due tomorrow, i've had no signs of it yet.
My husband and I have been avoiding the
risky time for now. But next month i'd
like to know exactly when my egg is
ready!! So we could maybe ttc!

I know that you can only ovulate one time
each month. There are several reasons
why you might have the cervical fluid but
my only suggestion is that maybe you
should monitor everything for a few
months. That way you will really begin
to understand when you're fertile and
aren't. When I first got off bc pills I
had a ton of fluid all the time and as the
months when on that "dried up". Now I
really only get it around ovulation as
well as at the beginning of my cycle. I
would not be concerned about the fluids
unless you notice itching or order. Then
you might have an infection. If you have
fluid after your cycle is done and you
don't know when you ovulate, I would use
back up birth control until you know when
ovulation is. It's funny because my
husband and I were trying to be so careful
right after we got married because we
wanted some time to ourselves before we
had a baby. Little did we realize how
tricky it was for us to get pregnant. I
hope when the time is right for you that
things go well. I'm sure they will!

You do not ovulate at the same time every
month . Even with the most regular cycles
ovulation can vary from month to month.
Keep in mind that some months have more
days too.

That is very true. I typically have the
storybook cycle...28 days but sometimes I
go longer and my olvuation day goes
anywhere between day 14 and day 19...If I
ovulate later, my cycle length is longer.
Its really helpful to take a few cycles
to monitor you temps and fluids (cervical
position) and then you will get an idea of
when its coming.
