Thank you for your response...Just wondering though, I think I ovulate earlier than days 12-22...is this unusual? As I stated, at 8 days past menses I had the sticky, snot like CM. Then at 10 days past menses I had the lotion like CM...I'm assuming that my EWCM will arrive today or tomorrow. If I had sex last night is it likely that I will become pregnant?
