pre or post ovulation

This is my very first time tracking ovulation. I had my daughter June 2010,  had a D&C M/C December 2014 then a blighted ovum January 2015. Our daughter was a trying but let it happen   when it happened so took 3 months. The others were not meant to happen so no planning there. This is the very first time we are actively trying and goodness I'm so scared, excited and impatient! Lol. I've never once paid attention to my body around ovulation time until now. We have been sexually active most nights since my period ended and more so once I started showing signs of ovulation starting. Increased discharge, mucas like but only when I wiped and not a lot so I don't know much about the detail of it.

Two nights ago i had very noticeable cramping while trying to sleep and post sex. I heard that was a sign the egg was going to drop soon. The next day my discharge was like liquid, TMI maybe but I wasn't wearing panties and it ran down my leg. We had sex just to cover our bases. Today it is very white and pasty. Not sticky or like mucas. My calculator predicts most fertile day to be the 15th, fertile cycle starting the 10th. With what has happened so far, would you say my egg has already dropped or about to drop?

Fertile cervical fluid looks like egg white and is stretchy. I would say that you ovulated today if that's what it looks like. Have sex today too just in case, but if you were approaching ovulation and having sex then the sperm can live 3-5 days in good cervical fluid so you could get pregnant, assuming your partner doesn't have a low sperm count.

I think I had that waterety mucas after the egg was fertilised as that's what made me question what was happening with my body it was unusual and baby wasn't planned. My body works like clock work normally.
