Lots of ewcm 3dpo

Kate • Trying to Conceive #1
I'm 3dpo (confirmed with temps and opk) and today I had lots of ewcm. I have a really short cycle (24 days) and I ovulate late (cd18) so I've been recording everything meticulously in case I have to consult a DR about my short literal phase.
​I never get ewcm before my period and today I had lots, so much that I thought AF came early and went to check. Is that normal? I've also been having sharp twinges, like ovulation pain but that could be AF? Thoughts?
