What’s more reliable?

Question

Just finished my period yesterday (CD6) and when I went to the bathroom just now I had some EWCM. I took an OPK and it was negative. Do I trust the OPK over the fact that I have EWCM? I usually ovulate around CD14-16.

Answer

I would trust the opk. I get ewcm days before I actually ovulate so ewcm doesn’t mean ovulation will happen right away. It wouldn’t hurt to start bding. Keep testing till you get your peak. Baby dust to you

Answer

The only way to pin point ovulation is an OPK.
Usually, you should get fertile egg white discharge for one or two days before you ovulate. These are your most fertile days, and if you want to conceive, have sex when you see it.
It's also possible to have EWCM for up to five days before ovulation. Or, you might get it for only one day. That said, two or three days is more typical. 
Some women get fertile looking cervical mucus again just before their period comes. It may become watery or even egg-white like. This isn't a sign of ovulation and having sex during this time will not help you get pregnant.

Answer

I would get EWCM 2/3 days before a positive OPK

Answer

Thanks everyone for your input 😊
