CM question

[CapitalChick]

So, I've noticed that the last few days (days CD 9, CD 10 & CD 11 out of a 30 day cycle), my CM has been very watery and not slippery at all. Upon closer inspection, there is a little bit of whiteness to it, but mostly I'd describe it as watery and wet...I wouldn't likely describe it as 'creamy'.
When I input 'watery CM' into my Fertility Friend calendar, it moves my 'fertile days' back (to today!), even though I haven't ovulated even until CD 15 in my last two cycles.

My question is....first, what do you think? Second, if you have a lot of very watery/wet CM, with just a slight bit of creaminess to it, what point are you at in your cycles?

The wetter the CM, generally the more fertile it is. Here you go though, see if this helps:-

Creamy, Milky, Lotion Like - FERTILE
Cervical fluid now becomes much more abundant and will feel wet from 2 - 4 days. It can appear either thick and creamy or like hand lotion and will form peaks in your fingertips when pulled apart or can be thinner and look milky. Color of the fluid is white or yellow and the overall vaginal sensation is wet.

Eggwhite Cervical Fluid - VERY FERTILE
Cervical fluid now reaches its most fertile stage for 1 - 5 days. The fluid will look and have the consistency of eggwhites. It is slippery to the touch and if pulled between the fingertips will stretch 1 - 10 inches! The color can be clear or iridescent and the overall sensation is extremely wet.

Dry, Moist or Sticky - INFERTILE
Cervical fluid will now change drastically due to the drop in estrogen and the surge of progesterone following ovulation. It can be dry, watery, moist or sticky and will remain in that stage until the end of your monthly cycle - which is the day before your menstrual period begins. Any fluid at all will dry up quickly upon your fingertips, can range from no color to white and your overall vaginal sensation will be dry at this time.

Good luck!
