ovulation pain & ewcm i am defo 2 dpo though?

hi ladies i had very clearly positive digital opk and tons of ewcm. as far as i am aware i have now ovulated the opks are negative but i still have o pain and some ewcm. wondering if o pain is something that can happen after o?

i am not ttc, I am 8 months postpartum so am just wondering what is going on with my cycles....they are very long at the moment as i am still breastfeeding a little. the last 2 cycles i have ovulated around cd31-35 which is nuts as my cycles used to only be 30 days long.

anyway am curious ovulation pain is from bleeding when egg is released right? irritating the abdominal wall so stands to reason it can go on a day or two after ovualtion?

ewcm though i never understand why i dont dry up right after o.. its misleading if my opks have gone neg after 2 days i am sure i am 2 dpo so why the ewcm?

    All the ovulation tests and predictors actually measure for the hormone surge that triggers ovulation. The same with the mucus. The surge of hormones comes first, which then triggers the egg to release. The actual release of the egg can be a up to a few days after that surge. This is why most NFP systems consider you fertile until 3-4 days after ovulation. If your hormone levels are still a little off (due to breastfeeding) that may also contribute to a slight delay in ovulation.

    I had a similar cycle recently (I'm also breastfeeding) where I didn't see the basal temperature shift until 3 days after the cm dried up. I think that like with what you're experiencing now, my actual ovulation was slightly delayed. The timing of my period was also consistent with late ovulation.

    It might be the facet results of clomid. You can handiest ovulate from one ovary, should you ovulated out of your proper ovary this month then subsequent month it could be your left ovary, however you obviously cannot ovulate from each ovaries in a month. As lengthy as you have got ovulated then sure you'll nonetheless get pregnant, it isn't important should you do not need ewcm across the time of ovulation. Some females by no means get ewcm whilst ovulating. Good success and youngster filth.
