Absolutely there is hope! In my 2.5 years of ttc i have never been able to use CM as an indication of the stages of my cycle. Yes i had CM but it never seemed to be here nor there and I especially never found EWCM. Same when ttc on natural cycles and on clomid. The only thing that ever helped me pinpoint O was when I was temping. Good luck, fingers crossed for a BFP waiting for you soon.
