What is your CM like before, during and after ovulation?

Title says it all. What is the normal? How many days do stages last ( different textures) any difference if your pregnant? I've read conflicting information.
Just trying to see what is normal

After ovulation your CM dries up and becomes sticky. As for it changing during pregnancy, I notice that when I am further along (10 weeks+) I get crazy amounts of CM in all different consistencies. I don't believe You can guess pregnancy based in CM.

Bump for rewording the question.

My CM changes from EWCM to sticky the day after O. I usually have EWCM for 3 or 4 days before O but sometimes I will have it for longer before O. Like I said before, I don't believe CM can be used to determine pregnancy.

ETA: I hope I'm answering your question correctly!

Yes, I was just wondering the usual rhythm of ovulation and changes with cm. like ewcm is before o then clear is o then back to ewcm the dry? Does that sound normal? I don't remember exactly how it's supposed to go and how many days you might be having discharge.
I've heard things don't dry up if your pregnant.... But yeah I don't think that is a huge factor on determining pregnancy.

My cycles are just starting to return to normal now and I really don't remember having any type of discharge for days on end! I did two days ewcm then almost three days very wet and clear then back to ewcm but not as much. almost a whole week of something going on! Sheesh! Nasty and not fun

There is no pattern for me when it comes to EWCM vs Watery, so I can't help you with that. Mine usually goes like this during a normal cycle:
AF
Spotting
Sticky
EWCM/Watery
Sticky/Creamy
Dry

The days I experience it are never the same.

Ok, that is basically like what I had. So it's normal to have more then 2-3 days of something going on down there lol.

Yup! Totally normal! I had one cycle at the beginning of last year where I had dry then one day of EWCM and then dry again. It was weird!
