cm decrease but havn't got a pos opk yet

Hi,

Am currently cd14 of what is usually a 30/31 day cycle for me. Ok, since cd8 dh and I have been bd every other day, I have had an abundance of cm for the past several days , it is at the ew stage right now, but today it has decreased significantly. I did an opk just after 12pm today and the surge line is somewhat lighter than the control line although visible. The surge line I might add was the same yesterday too, but today it appeared quicker when I tested, it should be getting darker shouldn't it?
If I am due to ovulate am wondering why my cm has decreased so much? Sorry if tmi, but I have felt physically wet in my underwear for the past several days where there was so much, but today nothing in there.
Sorry to be a pain but I am utterly and totally confused, feel my body is heading in one direction one day and another the next.

hi,

Big thanks for your speedy response!
I have literally (just now at 3.20pm) re tested.....there is a very very faint line there now, not as dark as the 12pm line though?
Does that mean I have ovulated?
Bd last night and the night before with dh as he is away overnight tonight.
I feel a little stupid asking so many questions as I already have 3 children (after previously losing 3) so I'm no stranger to getting pregnant.
But this is the 1st time I have been checking my cm and using ovulation tests. So I'm being thrown by conflicting things. I just got back from taking my dd to a birthday party and my underwear is a little damp so something is still happening. Am wondering if the lack of cm is due to the mirena coil I had removed at end of Jan this year or if it's just because I've ovulated? think this may be the first month I'm ovulating too since having coil out.

My cycles are exactly the same! I get the fertile quality cervical mucus, it diminishes, then I get a positive opk result. My thoughts are to take advantage of the fertile quality cm and then supplement your cm with pre-seed or eggwhite when the opk is positive. Your body usually gets pregnant from intercourse prior to ovulation. Also, an LH surge can happen in just a few hours so it is possible that you missed it on the opk if you are testing just once a day. And it is best to test in the afternoon because that is when the LH is metabolized into your urine. I hope this has been helpful. That's how I had my two little ones. It really works.
