Do I trust signs or the OPK?
This cycle I got a ton of EWCM days 10, 11, and 12, then it was watery for a day before drying up mostly. Day 12 I had a small temp dip. On day 13 I swear to you I felt ovulation when I was sitting at my desk. I felt a strange popping sensation and then felt mildly crampy. I had decided not to do OPK this month so I thought it was O.
So my chart was all over the place after this, up and down. Mostly up. I decided to take a couple OPK just to see what they looked like. Wouldn't you know day 17 I got a positive but that was the only one I got. CD 18 temp dropped.
The thing about all this is my symptoms match up more with the first time I thought I ovulated when I compare them. In fact some of them match pretty darn perfect to my last pregnancy chart.
So what do I believe? My gut tells me I Oed earlier but the test says other wise and fertility friend sort of does (got the dotted line)

I believe you ovulated ~ Cd 13 as you describe EWCM around that timeframe and as you had a sensation that reminded you of ovulation. Since your temperatures were mostly up afterwards I believe you ovulated mid cycle. Your positive opk on CD 17 does not necessarily point to ovulation. Women frequently get them during the lp due to LH surges. I would trust the EWCM signs and your temperature chart. Best wishes and the Lord's blessings.
