I'm confused!! I know I said I didn't want to temp or anything but i noticed that i have a lot of cm from creamy to eggwhite i dont know if its because we BD but i checked my cervix sorry to much info. but i checked and it was medium and almost all the way open. and its only 4 days since my period i dont know what to think. is that normal? could i be ovulating or is it impossible since its supposed to be 14 days since your period??

The 14 day rule applies to the other side of AF.
Basically from the time you Ovulate, about 12-16 days should pass before your AF starts.
The time from AF to Ovulation depends on the length of your cycle.
My cycle for instance is 24 days, which means I O on day 10 or thereabouts in my cycle.
Someone with a 35 day cycle, would probably O on day 21 of their cycle and so on...
Hope this helps.
Now I'm really confused Im on cd 12 My cycle started on may 1st and 6 days later AF stopped but this morning and yesterday I've been spotting with fluid(sorry TMI) So its like spotting with cm mixed. This is weird as Ive been off IUD since march 1st and this has never happened to me before. I'm supposed to ovulate on the 22nd
You definitely could be ovulating now. Ovulation can occur very soon after your period, because your follicles are growing in your ovaries during AF and when they mature enough, they are released. Maybe one grew faster this month. I know someone who ovulates on CD8 consistently. It's just how her body works and she has two kids, so it's probably fine to ov that early. And I used to ov on CD11-12 before I started taking cinnamon for CM.
It sounds like you could have ovulated and the discharge (spotting/CM) could be ovulation spotting, especially if you've noticed eggwhite CM earlier in your cycle. Or it could be the remnants of your AF making itself known.
But it does sound confusing. I know in your post, you said you didn't want to temp, but it really is a good way to figure out where you are in your cycle, confirm when you ovulate (which is very handy), and can help explain the things that your body does that seem wacky. Do you use opks?
I hope things become clearer for you soon!
