Clarification of CM

Brit

Hi everyone, I’m new to this app. My husband and I are on 2nd month of TTC. My fertile window began today, so the next few days are going to be quite a bit of Baby Dancing.

I’ve started checking my CM just to get an idea of what I’m searching for. I have yet to try out OPKs as I feel those may stress me out while

I’m starting this journey and learning so much. If after TTC month 3 comes and goes and we don’t have a BFP, then I’ll look into them.

Anyways, can someone help me clarify CM. If I check and get the egg white consistency that corresponds with ovulation, does it mean I am ovulating that day? Or a few days later?

Thanks
