For how long during ovulation do you typically have CM? I thought you were only supposed to have it for 3-5 days and if it seems like i have went a little over the 5 days with CM. Does this sound typical?

Typical for me is 3-5 days but there have been months when it seemed to last a week. I guess each month can be different depending on what ever else is going on in your life, diet, exercise, etc. There have been times I thought I was ovulating for 2 weeks b/c the CM lasted so long!

It is normal to have CM that changes too during your cycle. Usually when it is more egg white like that is when ovulation is occuring.

My CM lasts about a week, but changes almost daily. The EWCM lasts a little over a day usually, and for me it's usually pretty obvious when I'm going to OV and when I'm done. Good luck hun, sounds like your normal to me!!!!

I find it can definitely go over the 5 days and vary too in consistency too sort of back and forth with the stretchy days..Good luck!!

Normal..lol. First time I've been called that. J/K the last few days it has almost felt "sticky". Just seems like it has lasted longer this month. But ALOT has happened to me, so maybe it is just my body re - adjusting. Thanks a bunch for your comments
