Around ovulation I get a jelly like discharge, now I know this is quite normal, but once it's out does that mean I can't get pregnant? Is it the egg coming out or a sign that ovulation is about to occur. It's usually just a one off discharge. This month it happened on day 13 but we didn't until day 14, were we too late.

Mandy when we conceived Megan I had heard from someone on "the other website" that they BD'd just after AF left! So we gave it a go and hey presto it worked! I know it seems mad but I was prob only on day 6 or 7 so not OV yet but it still worked??!!! You should have approx 3 or 4 days though either side to answer your original question

i thought your period was when the unfertilised egg came out?

No that's ovulation Leanne, your period is the lining of the womb shedding

Thanks Helz, I conceived with Chloe on Day 14 in May, so am hoping this month will be lucky for me! Mind you it would mean their birthdays would be very close together!

This stuff confuses me, I thought the discharge meant you were at your most fertile.

Hope your not to late.

Ovulation is when the egg is released from the ovary, af happens when the egg hasn't been fertilised - so in effect your af is the lining of the womb and the egg

Mandy the only way to get a more accurate 'result' would be to check internally
The little swimmers can only 'swim' in wet/EWCM. So its quite hard to say weather the 'blob' was a sign of pre or post ovulation.
I got 'blob' about 3/4days before af last month, so 'blobs' can mean anything lol

Sorry about all the 'blobbyness' of this post

pmsl zee. When you say check internally. What exactly am I looking for?

Just checking what your CM's like internally.
TMI alert
Using a clean index finger, insert inside your fuff and you can get a more accurate idea of what your CM is actually like around the cervix. Wet/stretchy CM is a You can also check you cervix position that also gives a fair bit of info around ovulation too

I got tons of it on the Sunday and then bd'd on the Wednesday after - Lilypops is upstairs in bed so you can 100% get pg after it. My mate did too.

I always thought you had to have sex before it, which explains why it took so long to ttc lily as we used to stop actively trying after seeing it x

thanks Laura, thats reassuring, hopefully this will be our month x

If the cm is like egg White and you can stretch btw your fingers without it breaking that is a good sign you are at your most fertile x
