I have a 30-35 day cycle.
I've looked for a direct answer for this question but havn't really found anything!
Q: Is it AT ALL possible to ovulate as early as cycle day 5-10 when you have a cycle that’s always atleast 30 days long?
a tiny info about me:
my period normaly last about 3-4 days. lately though, i have been having a lot of spotting after AF that can last up to 7 days?? (very light pink) and with that spotting some pretty bad cramps. (i don't cramp during AF) it actualy feels like something is pulled so tight it will snap if i move the wrong way.
its mostly gone now, but i will still feel twinging pains on both sides of what i can only asume is my uterus?? which has led me to believe i am ovulating. its all so confusing! this has only been the case for my last 2 cycles… so i don't know what that would mean.
i know a lot of you’ll tell me to use ovulation tests.. but i just havn't gotten to that point yet.. (it would confuse me to no end!) and i don't need another reason to be obsessed with this Baby making stuff!
Answer:
Okayyy hun what I would do if I were you is chart your BBT. BBT is basal body temps. You can go to your local drug store and buy a basal body thermometer. You can go to fertilityfriend.com and they give you free charts to record your temps on them. What the BBT does is indicates if ovulation has occurred or not. The thing about bbt's is that it doesn't show ovulation until after it has happend. But if you do this for a few cycles you will be able to pinpoint when ovulation takes place in your cycle. Also you’ve to do it at the same time everyday laying down before you get out of bed! It works tho when you have lengthy cycles to figure out when you ovulate!!!! GOOD LUCK HUN!!!!!!! TONS OF BABY DUST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: also, if infact you are ovulating on CD 5 -10 there is def something up b/c menses is supposed to arrive around 14 days after ovulation. So you would have about a much shorter cycle than your having. I would check it out! GOOD LUCKKK!!!!!!
Answer:
You very well are ovulating early. Not each woman ovulates book friendly. I know I don't. I always state 14 because it's easier, but I know I ovulate earlier then that. I think I ovulated like 4 days sooner then I had planned. I know the feeling when I ovulate and I get extra horny. It's kinda scary!
So, it wouldn't surprise me if you’re! =) Yeah, don't use those friggin OPKS. They confused the heck out of me too. Haha! I didn't chart my temperature this round either. And well. I must have done something right because I’m pregnant. =)
Answer:
hi dear., as mommy to be said charting ur BBT really helps. once i was same as in ur situation. didnt know when i ovulated, i was very confused, i didnt use OPKs, not sure when to test with OPKs etc.
So i started TTC feb and the same month i conceived. this is what i did; no meds. eat healthy food esp lots of spinach,oysters, nuts, green veges, salmon. all rich in folic acid, fatty acid, and are considered as fertility foods.
OPKs - i bought those world wide web strips,cheap ones, 35 OPKs and 15 HPTs as a pack or $14 i guess so, i started testing from CD10 , on CD11 i saw a faint line from that day on i started testing daily , once i got the dark line i just knew that i am ovulating the next 24-36 hours. and also, the next day my temperature dropped drastically in the BBT chart. which means I ovulated on that day, the next day it raised dramatically. it was perfect, but we couldnt BD on the O day, we did Before and after O day not on that day. so i was not sure, thot its not my month.
after ovulation i started taking prenatal multivitamin tablets(with folic acid and DHA),, cos ppl say that without us knowing sometimes we get conceived but gets washed away as we will not be aware of it. so to be on the safer side its good to take prenatal always,
to ur question, im oretty sure u ovulated earlier because not each woman ovulates exactly on the 14th day of the cycle. also many women ovulates soon after their AF finishes and they get prego.
Also the pink spotting must be implantation bleeding, cos its pink or brownish, as long as its not red u can hope it as implantation bleeding.
i am 5 weeks now and last week fully i had this twinging feeling both on my right and left side. but i wasnt ovulating.
for BBT use fertilityfriend .com , if upload ur temp daily with any Cm symptoms, they’ll help you track down ur O day. also there are BBT tutorials available.
goodluck and sticky beans to you dear!!!
