Quite a personal question about fertility

Hello - I am quite lucky to have a pretty regular 26 day cycle and generally ovulate on day 9 with very obvious pains so I always know exactly when it's happening. This month for the first time I've taken Oil of Evening Primrose to increase cervical fluid. I took it from day one of period to day of ovulation as recommended and then stopped. It's definately worked for me to increase cervical fluid levels. My question is, I ovulated 2 days ago and I've still got a lot of cervical fluid egg white style - does that mean that I am still fertile today 2 days after ovulating? Thanks, sorry if the message sounds muddled and a bit personal!

No babes, you are only fertile when you ovulate. Because you have taken these tablets it will increase your mucus but the egg will have already hung around (and hopefully)been fertilised or (not hopefully) come out. Therefore after 24 after ov, you are not fertile anymore if that makes sense? I wouldnt worry about the mucus too much, i think its purely because if the tablets. Hope that helps :)
