Hi, i hope there is someone out there that can answer this, i had ewcm on sat and just wondered if its too late if we had sex tonight. When you have ewcm, does that mean you are ovulating at that minute or are going to shortly?

It means its the best time to have sex, so you will prob ovulate after. But if you have sex when you ovulate, the sperm will prob be too late to get there as eggs don't last very long and it can take sperm a while to get up there.
The ewcm is the consistency it is, to give the sperm the best chance of getting where it needs to be before the egg is released.
My gp said not to have sex when you ovulate, but every day or every other day after the end of your period, until ovulation. That way, as sperm can live up to a week, there will be always some lurking up there when the egg is released.

No harm in trying tonight though
Hope this helps.

Lauralou, there are lots of ladies on the conception boards who have taken clomid and might be able to help you.
Why dont you start a thread asking your questions - I am sure someone who knows about it will come along and answer them. They're just unlikely to notice you here on a thread about CM.
