#UPDATE#
Can someone tell AF to piss off for me? I am on cycle day 6 now and I am still bleeding and got horrible cramps! Have it in my head that I need to test again but need to stop thinking that!
Mini rant over I needed a cheer up!
Hey I know what you mean, my AF doesn't seem normal but I think it's wishful thinking really
Exactly! According to several ovulation calculators where I have put my average cycle to be 22 days it says I am fertile this week as of today....er hello I still have my period? Can I ovulate so soon? Off to buy a load of opks tomorrow and then test, test test!
That's probably because you have a short cycle. I think they usually just divide that in half for O day and then go back about 5 days for the fertile days. That would put you at O day 11 and days 6-11 for fertile days.
However, my luteal phase (time between O and AF) is shorter than the first part of my cycle, so those things are always off for me too.
That being said, if you aren't really sure yet, I would start opks sooner rather than later so you don't miss it! It's not completely uncommon for early ovulation. I've seen cycles with O at CD8.
It will all work out!
It took me about 5 or 6 months to really see a good pattern in my cycles. I still have a wide O range (cd15-cd20). Now that I know that, I start opks on cd12 or cd13. Hope that helps....
