Re: Ovulating twice?
Hi Amanda,
There is a study that suggests (and mind you, I say suggests) that a very small percentage of women may, indeed, ovulate twice from time to time. What this means in terms of pregnancies (as in could you wind up with twins) is not known. They see it more as a "defect" occuring in the system.
But more than likely what you experienced is an attempt by your body to O (hence, the first EWCM) but failing to do so. It then tried again. Having EWCM or a positive OPK in no way guarantees that you have O'd. It only indicates that you are trying to O.
ANother possible scenario is that you did O the first time around. Many women will experience fertile-type CM post-O. There is no egg being released. EWCM is a sign of estrogen production and only a hormonal thing. Again, not necessarily an indication of O.
The best thing you can to do ensure proper interpretation of what is going on in your body, is to chart. I know it's a pain in the neck, but it's the only way (unless you want to go to the docs and get blood serum draws or an u/s) to know whether you have indeed Ovulated.
HTH!
