Trying To Concieve. Using Ovulation Kit But Negative Result Till. Felt Thick Cervical Mucous On Day 9. Fertile Window?
Question: Good Morning,
I was wondering if you are able to help me with ovulation queries / my cycle as my partner and I are TTC child #1
I have been doing a lot of reading (maybe too much) in regards to signs to look out for when it comes to cervical mucus so I can pinpoint ovulation but I am having difficulty. I have a standard 27 or 28 day cycle so one would think I would ovulate around Day 13 or 14. I am currently CD 12 and have taken an ovulation predictor kit test (I have been since about CD7) but it's still showing a negative result however, on CD9 I experienced really thick, glob like CM with a hint of EWCM. Since then it's been quite watery. Would you be able to answer whether I actually ovulated on the CD9 when I experienced the EWCM or whether I am still in my fertile period since I haven't experienced a positive result on my ovulation kit.

Brief Answer:
Hi
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
I have read your query & I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:
1) Cervical mucous test is very uncertain and not to be relied upon really in regards to ovulaion. Hence I suggest dont go with cervival mucous test as it is outdated.
2) Ovulation detection kit is a better alternative. Though it has chance of showing false negative results, its better then cervical mucous test.
3) Best test would be to get follicular monitoring by transvaginal ultrasound examination. I suggest you get TVS scan and check for dominant follicle and best time to have intercourse.
4) Also get your partner's semen analysis done to see if everything is fine.
I hope I answered your query. I will be available for any followup queries you have.
