OV on CD 9???

[ChangeChoices]

So my thermometer died and I haven't replaced the battery yet, so I'm not charting this month. I usually OV between CD12 and CD14, but the last couple of cycles have been on CD11 with a 26 day cycle each time. This month I had barely stopped spotting when I started getting EWCM and started getting ovulation pain. I had a positive OPK on CD8 and 9 and my OPKs on CD10, 11, and 12 got lighter and lighter.... so it's looking like I OV'd on CD8 or 9.

Should I be concerned that my cycles are getting shorter and shorter like this?

I mean, imagine this: if I were to get a positive HPT at 10DPO I would be 2 weeks 4 days pregnant. I'm currently 8DPO and cramping like crazy. I highly doubt I'm pregnant as we had little warning before I OV'd. I mean, really? We had only a day or two between AF and ovulation. Something's not right with that. I wouldn't have believed it were it not for the positive OPKs.

BTW, I took another OPK on CD14 just to see and it was negative.

Again, my question is, should I be concerned that my cycles are getting shorter and shorter like this?

I think the only thing that would be concerning is if your Luteal Phase gets shorter. (like less than 10 days)

cycles shorter than 28 days are ok.
Also if you had a +ve OPK at CD 8 then you prob didnt O until CD 9,10 or even 11 as you O 12-36 (or even 48) hours after a +ve OPK

That's helpful! Thanks!

Yeah, the darkest OPK was the one I took CD8. The OPK on CD9 was much lighter, but I think it was still positive. I usually have ovulation pain the day before I ovulate, and I had ovulation pain CD7 and CD8. Putting everything together I think I ovulated CD9 or CD10, probably CD9. Still annoyingly early considering AF was 6 days long and I spotted until CD9. (Sorry...TMI)
