EWCM and ovulation?

So I know that ewcm means that your near ovulation.

My question is do you ovulate the day you have ewcm or the day after if goes away?  

I have ewcm today, but yesterday and the day before I had pain in my left ovary with watery cm.  I've been having cramping the last three days too.  

i'm on cd 17 hmmm....

Just trying to figure out when i will if i haven't already

I use to only have EWCM for one day and now I have it for several it's been 5 days of it now. I'm guessing I already ovulated though.

according to the book taking charge of your fertilty it occurs while ovulating, some women will have more than others so they may experiance it for more than a day. Myself I got it for a few hours in one day. My understanding is if you have the ewcm have sex! I did this and am expecting in may.

do you have to use a basal thermometer or can you use any digital thermometer?

If im not mistaken ovulation pains can last more than a day. Its hard to say bcuz each woman is different. Only way i can suggest to find out your ovulation pattern is if you do opk and bbt and checking your cm

For example, i have ovulation pains and ewcm on the same day, my ewcm will last about 10-15 hours after my ovulation.(egg only lives for about 24hours b4 it dies)  I also did bbt and opk to see how my pattern was and it was consistent, concluding that i ovulated on the same day i got pains and had ewcm.

I can be wrong but i dont think you ovulate after the ewcm is gone, that is an indication to let you no ovulation has already occured.(i thinnk that is right)

I can say when you do have the ewcm it is a good time to have sex bcuz that is the fertile mucus for the sperm.

SSBD to you
