Can you ovulate during a period???

Kayleigh Lou · Oct 26th, 2010, 15:31 PM

Okay i as i read this back to myself the weirder it sounds. I need to know if you can ovulate during a period and surely if you did there's no way the egg can settle. Would it be flushed straight out?????

I ask this as yesterday i went for a Pelvic Ultrasound. When they did the internal she told me she could see a nice healthy egg ready to be released. So went home and i jumped Hubby. Yesterday i was CD28.

This morning i woke with sharpe stabbing pains and i thhought ooooo here comes ovulation. But instead i get the dreaded

.

Now i saw my lil eggie in black and white all ready to go, so why have i come on my period now???

oooh I've never heard of that before! perhaps you ovulated TWICE in the same month (can happen) and you were merely discarding the other egg??

Here's hoping for a big fat sticker-bean!!!

I always get super dark lines on opks a day or so b4 a period. I just cant believe it.

Even the doctor said i SHOULD NOT be ovulating now. Maybe that's why its taking me so long to fall PG

Do you ever get +OPKs any other time in your cycle?

Kayleigh Lou · Oct 26th, 2010, 15:44 PM

I get dark opks but never positives

Is your chart not shedding some light on the problem?

Kayleigh Lou · Oct 26th, 2010, 15:46 PM

My doctors wont accept charting as a form of showing whether you ovulate or not

I don't know if this helps since I'm new to the OPKs too... but I have crazy spotting and bleeding that I have been trying to correct with progesterone cream. I didn't know if/when I ovulate so I finally started using OPKs on the 15th (after about 7 months of just guessing... and guessing poorly I might add). I'd basically been spotting/bleeding off and on for 3-4 weeks before that. Anyway, I had started more of a period on the 22nd (last Friday) and called that CD1. I've tested everyday and got what appears to be my LH surge on CD5 (today was CD6). I was on my "period" when I got my positive/nearly positive and you can see a progression. I'm starting my progesterone cream Friday and if I manage not to bleed while using it, it should mean I did in fact ovulate and use the cream at the right time. So, in my very limited experience and with very very irregular cycles, I say YES. When I conceived my son in early 2006 I hadn't had a period in about 2 months so ovulation doesn't necessarily happen when it's 'supposed' to either.

I have read that it's possible... (in my Zita West book I think?) that if you have really short cycles you could Ov before your period has finished... I think there was a case study in the book of a couple who'd been trying for ages assuing Ov was after af... I think they got pg when the problem was worked out, so must be possible!!! GL x
