Only have egg white cervical mucus 2 days prior to ovulation, why does it stop?

[britly]

I am trying to figure out why I only have egg white cervical mucus two days before ovulation, it's supposed to go through ovulation, but it doesn't. Yesturday I had the ewcm and a ovulation strip came out positive, so my husband and I made love trying to concieve, this morning I don't have any ewcm, now it is white and tacky. What is going on? Why doesn't the ewcm last like is should? Anyone else have this problem, is it a problem?? Please help!!! Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure about your particular situation, but it seems like a lot of women have trouble re: EWCM.  I feel like I barely have any and when I do I'm not sure if it's the right kind of CM or what.  I do know that post ovulation your CM is supposed to go back to being thicker so it sounds like that is happening for you.  I wouldn't worry about it too much since you do at least have some EWCM right around ovulation.  Are you BDing on these days too?  Also, is this your first time to try?

Don't worry too much about how long you have (or don't have EWCM).  I don't have any EWCM, ever, and I still got pg.   Just be sure to have sex every other day starting on the day your end your period up to and through ovulation -- try to go up to the time you start your next period if possible.  This will ensure that the swimmers are up there waiting for the egg.  Since you don't have too long of a window of EWCM be sure to be having sex BEFORE you actually detect EWCM so that you take full advantage of any amount you have.
