Q: When am I fertile?

Im trying to have a 2nd child with my husband and we just dont seem to be having sex at the most fertile point in my cycle.
my question is this: I used an OPK test the other day and it came up negative, but i noticed a heavy discharge that was EXACTLY like raw egg whites. Of course i was excited about it, thinking i was fertile, we had sex. Now im 2nd guessing myself and dont want to get my hopes up. If the OPK test said neg, but the cervical mucus said fertile, which is it? The mucus was very stretcy, clear with a pinkish tint to it. Does anybody have an opinion on this? Im driving myself crazy with questions.

For what I understand its 14 days after your AF depending on your cycle days. My husband and I are also trying to conceive. RT now I am 3 days away till my AF and going bonkers too!!!!

It's actually 14 days BEFORE your next period is due to arrive...it's more reliable to track ovulation is your period is regular and you chart is on a calendar.

Please let me know if you found an answer to your question. I'm going through the same thing. Always negative OPK's but I have the egg-like discharge. Am I ovulating or not? I'm getting so aggravated!!!

i started charting my bbt and yes im ovulating with my last day of EWCM. For some reason, opk's dont show positive for me. Maybe, im not taking them at the right time of day. i understand from my gyn, that sometimes you need to test a few times a day with those or you miss your surge.
