Generally speaking you will have fertile CF leading up to your O day and then dry up after O. So often women go from sticky to creamy to EW and then to dry the day after O. But you could go straight from sticky to EW and you might take a day or two to fully dry up after O. Everyone is different. OPK's- if they are working for you- will be positive 24-36 hours before you O. So you should not get a positive after your most fertile CF. This would likely indicate that the OPK is not working for you properly, which is not at all uncommon. But keep in mind that CF observations and OPK's cannot confirm O for you. Only temping can do that. So you can gear up to O, not succeed and then gear up again a few days or even weeks later with a second patch of fertile CF.
That is my typical pattern, and BBT charting confirms O a day or so after my +OPK. My EWCM always shows up a few days before O and is basically gone by my +OPK...I have managed to get pregnant many times despite my most fertile cm being well in advance of O. One may still have fertile cm internally that just isn't noticeable externally.
