Me and my boyfriend are trying to conceive and this will be my third pregnancy, I've had one child and one miscarriage. I have been doing a lot of research on charting your cervical mucus and predicting ovulation with fertility calendars. I've read all the guidelines on how your cervical mucus changes through your cycle and I had my last period on the 9th with predicted ovulation on the 22nd-23rd. On those days my cm was slippery but not quite the consistency of an egg white then went back to being creamy and white. Now today is the 27th and it was white with a rubbery texture and in all my research it's indirectly said ovulation or pregnancy. Someone please explain!! I know it's way to late in my cycle to be ovulation so what exactly does it mean or what point of my cycle represents this? Just for my curiosity and trying to get more knowledge on what my body's going through. Thanks!!

if its stretchy i woudl say EWCM, but if its like rubber cement thats half dry, i'd say that is technically "dry"

It is possible that your body geared up to O around the 22-23, but did not quite make it. Now it is preparing to O again.
The CM, can you stretch it between your figures? If so then it's most likely fertile EWM.
If it is sticky, then it's not fertile.

I think it takes several months on monitering yourself to know the difference for your cycle. I never get "sticky", I have dry, slippery or EW. If you are TTC I would just DTD on all the days that appear to have fertile fluids. If you temp you can confirm O after 3 temps above the coverline. For me we are not TTC right now so I use CM to check for fertility and temps to confirm O to know when we are safe. Good luck!
