is it possible to ovulate within a week of your af finishing?

Yes I believe so, although it's less common than late ovulation. Do you have short cycles?

Yes, esp if you have a long AF.

I sometimes ovulate on day 10, so it would be pretty easy for that to happen to me.

my cycles range from 29 to 31 days, and im sure i ovulate about 8 to 10 days from when my af starts as i start with the bloating and stomach cramps, which means im probably missing my ovulation day as i have been going by what the internet says, and bding around the 16th day give or take days before and after,and the fact it says its impossible to ovulate so early, but surely i would know my own body

ckc, I'm the same. 29 to 31 day cycle and I'm pretty sure I'm ovulating around day 10. I thought I should be trying around day 16 but the ovulation tests show I;m not ovulating then so think I need to test earlier.

The only reason I think I'm ovulating earlier is because I started using ovulation sticks on day 12 and the surge line was dark but not quite as dark as test line. Now I'm not getting a line at all so think I missed my ovulation and that the sticks picked up the tail end of my ovulation. This happened when I conceived ds1 but luckily I had bonked anyway and got pregnant.

Well timed then first time then , when you bd either every other day or around ovulation does it matter if it's morning noon or night?

Does bd mean using ovulation sticks? Sorry but I'm not quite up to speed with all the terminology! If so, I test first thing in the morning as it says if you test during the day you shouldn't urinate for 4 hours and limit your intake of fluid, both of which I would find difficult!

Aaahhh, thanks for enlightening me!

Tested this morning and still not ovulating but I have a dull ache, could this be implantation? we bd on Friday so surely that would be too soon for implantation? Think I'm just getting my hopes up!

Well you get EWCM for a few days prior to ovulation, not just on the day - is that what you are asking ?

Get busy as soon as you see the EWCM - the swimmers can survive a while in there and wait for the egg, so you will build up some supplies for when the egg is released
