Confirmed ovulation but no fertile CM (PCO)

Hi ladies,
I've come off the pill early July, and finally had my first period at the end of September.
I had done LH test and confirmed a positive about 15 days before my period), I had also gone to the gyneco who did an internal ultrasound and could confirm both the remnant of a dominant follicle, and endometrial thickness (pretty much confirming from my LH test that I had done a week before, that I had ovulated)

However what is weird is that I do not recall having much cervical mucus at the time. When you read around one of the first things about lack of fertile CM means anovulation, but in this case that's not true, I did have an ovulation.

Right around now, I'm approaching my peak (my OPKs are almost fully positive), and yet again, I don't produce much CM. Would this make it a lot harder for me to get pregnant?

Thanks,

@Olegia I don't product much cm either but the only month I ever got pregnant was the only one month I had ewcm.
It aids the movement of sperm towards the egg and helping the sperm survive the wait for an egg to be released . Sperm thrive in it. Without it sperm have a difficult time swimming up . The normal cm ..think of it as like a natural contraceptive your body makes to keep the sperm away. There's fertility lubricant you could try that mimics the natural fluid sperm need. Needs to be a fertility one tho as normal lube kills sperm. Conceive plus , preeseed, fertilily ect

Thanks, luckily I did a thorough amount of research, so that is not news to me. As stated later, I actually got pregnant from that one time, so I guess not having (visible) EGCM isn't necessarily the be all end all!
