Ovulation, ovulation, where for art thou?!

[Elektra83]

Hi all!
I am confused and a little sad, we are ttc baby #1 but it's been tough with my husband's travelling. I was supposed to ovulate today and have been tracking my cm but it hasn't really changed to the ewcm. It's just a bit snotty (sorry for the tmi).

So now am confused as to when/if I ovulated this month. We haven't really dtd (hence the sadness) this week - husband has been so tired, I haven't been feeling great either. He went off on a work trip today again so will definitely have missed this month as well.

I can't even drown my sorrows in booze as I am so put off by it!

I think I just needed a rant! It's also not helping that a lot of people around me are already expecting sigh

Sorry to ask TMI but have you... Um... Had a root around internally? I never got EWCM in my underwear but it was definitely up there, just not enough to be noticible!

Sorry you are down. CM isn't always a reliable symptom of ovulation though. It's only a secondary one. I assume you have tried opk's etc and maybe temping? Have you found any sort of pattern? is it possible you haven't ovulated yet?
Once you get your head around how this month wasn't meant to be, I'm sure you will find some inner strength and next month it could be your lucky cycle. I know it's very hard and deflating especially with your husband not on tap.
Good luck and hope you feel better in the next few days...
