Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Explanation: Checking CM is not as reliable as people think, and in some women it seems to be less reliable than in others. Most likely your ovulation ("fertile time") was when you expected, but the mucus just wasn't a reliable test. Serious problems with CM are pretty rare.
