30th more likely: Cervical mucus is not the best measure of ovulation. If your cycles are regular--like every 28-30 days--then you are typically ovulating around cycle day 13-15. Ovulation predictor kits (purchased over the counter) are a more accurate way to pinpoint your ovulation. For the dates listed in your question, it's more likely you ovulated on the 30th (cycle day 14).

While checking the strings on my copper IUD today I noticed my cervical mucus was quite watery (with little to no stretch to it); I finished my period 3 days ago. I was wondering if this was normal? Does it mean that I'm ovulating?
