I just wondered if it is ever a negative thing to ovulate early in your cycles?
My cycles are 28 to 32 days long but I ovulate early, I know for a fact with my second son who was a happy accident that I must have ovulated very early as we only had unprotected sex the day I came off my period and sure enough when I had my dating scan I was quite a bit further on than I thought I was just based on the first day of my last period.
This month it was CD 12.
Does this then mean that even though AF isn't due until tomorrow, technically I wouldn't be testing early, because I also ovulated early? Does it work like that? For instance a first response test claims you can test up to 6 days before your missed period, but is this based on a cycle where the woman ovulates on cd14? And if you had ovulated on cd 12 for instance, could you technically test 8 days early?
