No EWCM but positive OPK, did I ovulate?

For the last three cycles I've used OPK to find out when I ovulate. The first two cycles I've got ALMOST positive on CD 16, the line was not quite dark enough to be positive, but the darkest one I got the whole cycle so I took that as a positive OPK.

This cycle I clearly got positive on CD 16, the test line was darker than the control line so I'm positive it was a positive OPK.

This cycle I also started to check my CM. This is the first time I do this so I'm not 100% sure I'm doing it the right way. But I never really experienced eggwhite CM that stretches between your fingers!

Can I ovulate without this stretchy CM?

And another thing, we BD on the day I got positive OPK (CD 16), again the day after (CD 17) and than again on CD 19.... do you think we have a good chance of getting a BFP in two weeks?

You can ovulate without experience EWCM.

I never get EWCM and I'm on pregnancy #2. Also, I have had cycles were a didn't get a genuine positive on an OPK, just "as dark as it gets" and those cycles dates matched up with the true positives that I got in other cycles. I believe that the urine could've just been a bit diluted. So, yes I think you have a great chance.

"Can I ovulate without stretchy CM?"

I most certainly thing so. I did not get stretchy CM last month and used the OPK and CBEFM. I got a positive OPK in the afternoon on CD15 and then a peak reading on the monitor the next morning. We BD and here I am I am 5 weeks pg so I think that you cannot always rely on stretchy cm. Although it is a great indicator some women just don't show it in their underwear or tissue all the time. I know I didn't and I know I "O".
