Anyone advice on timings and tracking of EWCM?

Hi, just wondering if anyone tracks EWCM as an indicator of fertile period / ovulation and if so how the timings work.

I had a chemical pregnancy a couple of months ago - we weren’t properly trying but we DTD on the one day I had EWCM and got pregnant.

This month EWCM started yesterday and this morning. So when I the best time to DTD, will tomorrow be too late? We DTD Monday too but OH now away with work. I’m on CD15 and when I did opks when I TTC my DS I usually ovulated on CD16.

Sorry if this doesn’t make any sense - just basically wondering when you roughly ovulate following EWCM I guess.

P.S I know I should probably just start using opks again but I am lazy and we were meant to be trying a causal approach until the start of next year… obviously not doing too well at that so far 🙈

Following this with interest as I can't seem to ever spot any EWCM!! Dunno if I'm doing it wrong or checking at the wrong time, or just don't have any?

@LittleMysSister from what I’ve read it’s definitely possible and not unusual to have some but still be ovulating. I only really started noticing it when I was TTC and would look for it around the middle of my cycle. I only get it for a max of two days though.

@LittleMysSister I don't seem to have any either, but still managed to get pregnant twice so far.

Thanks both, good to get some reassurance because I've seen pics of some people's EWCM and I'm like Jesus, I definitely don't have that! So hopefully it's not the be all and end all then.
