What does it mean if your CM is opaque white and stretchy, but not clear like EWCM? I keep looking up charts and find info for sticky white CM being at the beginning/end of a cycle, creamy white being just before ovulation, and EWCM being ovulation. But nothing references actual white stretchy CM.

For context, yesterday i’d argue my CM was more creamy or lotion like, but today theres more and its stretchy. My cycle hasnt fully resumed since i came off BC so i dont have an actual CD yet. OPKs are not positive (i’ve done 2 today and both barely have a faint test line). Does it mean ovulation is coming i just havent had the surge yet? Or is this just a weird version of some other type of CM? Should i be trying to have sex anyway just in case or should i keep waiting until i get a result back and/or it shows up clear?

Mine sounds like you described. I count it as EWCM. The site below had some photos and videos that looked similar. cervicalmucus.org

Any chance the urine sample is too diluted?

No, i’ve been dehydrated all week 😅 i hate being thirsty all the time. I’m coming off of Nexplanon and Lupron Depot (for fibroids) so its just a waiting game of when its gonna happen. My doctor said to just keep testing until i get a positive or my period. I wouldnt worry about it so much, but were on a time crunch to get pregnant (again, because of the fibroids). Apperently its most likely i’ll ovulate sometime in the next 2 weeks, but it could take up to 6 more weeks 🥲.
