Hi there!
I have a question. I'm not sure how far past ovulation I am...probably between 1-3 or 4 days (max!). Anyway, I had some very very small amounts of EWCM yesterday, but it was mixed some more lotion-like CM. Today, though, I have much much thicker, totally opaque CM. It's like lotion, but it's thicker and stickier.
Is this what most women get after ovulation? I remember reading that CM should dry up after ovulation. This is definitely not dry...there's a lot there!

Any thoughts on what this is? Is it just normal post-ovulatory CM?

I had excatly the same a couple of days after ovulation, I looked it up on google and it is completely normal it is our bodies way of protecting the conception process. The mucus thickens post ov to prevent any other bacteria getting in there and interfering with the fertility process. It also says that the normal amount is usually a teaspoon full and that if it is more than that there is a possibility you could be pregnant.
Hope that helps.
P.s) I am now 6dpo
