CM....warning possible TMI

I know that at your fertile stage you have clear CM and after ovulation you gets lots of EWCM, but I was just wondering if anybody knows how long after ovulation you get this? Is it about a day or 2 after?
I'm just trying to pin point the day of ovulation so I can try and work out my chances of being pregnant this month.

You get EWCM before and during ovulation NOT after.

You do get it after.
It is there to help the sperm travel inside you, once you have ovulated it comes away.

When I say after, I mean immediately after, not like a week after.

Sorry that is wrong. You get fertile cm before ov. After ov the egg lives for as little as 12 hrs so the fertile cm is there to get the sperm in there ready for the egg.

I've been charting my cycle for the best part of a year and get ewcm 1 to 3 days before ov.

Some people get it at random times too but when you see it mid cycle it means 'SHAG, ov is on its way'
