I get so confused about cervical positions. and CM the only one im sure about is that eggwhite usualy means fertile, but for the past month it seems like my cervix has been high and ive only had watery CM on and off. Also when the cervix is high should it be firm or soft. Im not sure if I Od this month.

I think this is it ....

Low - Hard
High - Soft

Fertile CM has the consistancy of an egg white and is stretchy. Different things can effect your CM like cough and cold medicine or Clomid.

It was a bit of a pain for me to use cervical mucus and position. I had to check it every day and it took about a month for me to figure out my body. Even then it seemed a little off. I suggest temping. That was the most reliable way for me to determine fertility.

You might want to ask this question on the TTC board...you may get better responses! Good luck!

I am still learning NFP, which is essentially what you're talking about, and I am also having difficulty differentiating between the types of mucus. That is why I like the sympto-thermal method. You use sensation, mucus, temp and (optionally) cervical position to kind of cross-check the various symptoms of fertility.

I don't know what method you are using, or the ways that the various mucuses are described, but I can tell you some of the differences for the S-T Method. The three types are dry (no mucus, but possibly dampness that disappears when touched), Sticky Mucus (stretches less than an inch), and Egg-white (stretches more than an inch). Sticky also is white or yellow and won't draw threads, as opposed to the even partially clear and draw threads.

I can't help with the cervix position, since I opt not to do that portion, but I hope I was able to help with the mucus
