I read in another post that EWCM occurs before OR on the day you O, but if you look on my chart it happened after I O'd? Is this possible?
(I know that this was definitely the only day I had EWCM this cycle, so that can't be wrong)[/b]

It's important to remember that charting does not give us an exact day of when ovulation occurs - it's an estimate. A very good estimate, but still just an estimate and many women get hung on thinking they know the exact day. The only way to know the exact day is to have a daily transvaginal ultrasound.
Now, given that point, scientific trials that studied the mucus patterns and bloodwork of thousands of women found that ovulation occurs closest to the LAST day of slippery mucus. On that day, the day after, or two days after. If you are seeing EWCM after you think you have ovulated, it simply means your estimated ovulation day is wrong and Fertilty Friend is jumping the gun again.
When temps and mucus disagree, mucus always trumps temp.
