Am I ovulating??

Question

Hi Ladies
I’m 9 months postpartum, still haven’t had a period, and only BF once or twice a day. I’m using opks I'm finding that the opks are stark negative not a hint of a line which means I'm definitely not ovulating but why do I have egg white cm? Does anyone have the same problem?
Currently, I have CM that is creamy but it can be stretched between fingers like egg white consistency but still negative opk

Answer

I didn’t have a period until I was completely done breastfeeding. But I continually checked my CM and cervix throughout the months after delivery because fertility awareness is our form of birth control.
It’s very common for our bodies to start gearing up to ovulate (cervical changes and EWCM) when we’re breastfeeding (or at other times when our cycles are irregular) but it doesn’t quite get there. I found that my body would cycle through fertile/infertile phases every 3-4 days. It stressed me out at first because I didn’t know what I’m earth my body was doing. But after a while I figured it out. 
Also worth noting, During that time I never produced as much EWCM as I normally would during an actual ovulating cycle. My cervix also never quite got as soft or open either. Basically all of my normal fertile symptoms were at a 5/10 instead of the normal 10/10.
Hope that made sense!
