How long does EWCM last?

I have had EWCM all day but I have been testing ovulation twice daily for a week and 3 times today and they've?

• been all negative. I started testing on day 9 or 10 of my cycle because my cycles are irregular which was a week ago. So now its either day 16 or 17, which does sound okay to me because I usually don't get my periods every month, its a little over a month. But anyways, I'm confused. This is my first month testing with ovulation tests and from what the instructions say, once I get a positive I should have sex between 24-48 hours later. Well, if I have EWCM today (and haven't had sex today, wasn't possible,) then how come I haven't had any positive ovulation tests? And if we have sex tomorrow night, is it still possible to become pregnant? I mean a good chance? How long are you fertile with EWCM? Does it stay for more than a day or so? Thanks much in advance! Our first daughter we just let it happen when it happened, didn't have sex that often, and it took around a year without even having sex purposely around ovulation.
