Is this possible?

Hi guys,

I've posted a few times on here in different threads but I think I'm succumbing to the every symptom is a symptom thing. Just need a bit of advice/help.

I stopped the pill near the end of jan (last pill in pack). Didn't have my usual withdrawal bleed.

I started doing OPK's early Feb and had one that was quite strong but not fully positive I wouldn't say around the 4th-6th of Feb. Then on March 4th I had a horrendous really heavy period that lasted 4 days.

Myself and DH did the deed on 10th,11th and 13th. For the past week I've been feeling waves of sickness and headaches that seem to die down in later afternoon. Also quite tired & food and smell aversions. I just feel funny to be honest! I know I could be thinking all this up in my mind because I want a baby. I also know this is quite early to experience this.

I did OPKS all this week as the apps I've been using said so (based purely on period date I think). All negative, not even a hint and they are the same as the ones I used before.

Basically I just wondered if I could have ovulated really early? App now saying I should test today since I updated the Feb OPK that I worked out the date of this afternoon. Scared to do it and at most I would be 13 DPO if I did ovulate.

Sorry for the long post, I'm new at this and most family members either don't know we are TTC or have not had planned pregnancies so haven't went through the 'trying' phase

Thanks x

So, what you're saying is that you think you ovulated on the 8th? When you were still having a horrendous and heavy period? And before you had sex this cycle? That's quite unlikely...

Generally your period arrives bout 2 weeks after you ovulate (give or take a few days). It is not uncommon for you body to make several attempts to ovulate in a cycle after coming off the pill. If you're actually 13 dpo, your period is likely to start in two days.

I think it's more likely that you have either missed your ovulation this month, or it hasn't happened yet.

Based on those dates, I would assume you ovulated around the 18th (as in, 3 days ago) if we assume you have a 28 day cycle.

I'm also fresh off the pill, and it does just give you mad symptoms for the hell of it. I have no idea when I ovulate (don't want to faff with the strips for now) but realistically it can have been at any point in the last month. It takes 6 months or something for your body to settle back into its rhythm.

I think it's possible. You should test.

As PP said you would have expected to ovulated on the 18th, but even if that was a couple of days early, say the 16th, you could have caught from DTD on the 13th.

Not super likely, but certainly possible.

Thanks all .

@physicskate yes pretty bad - a bit TMI but I managed to bleed through maxi pads quite significantly two nights in a row. The only reason I thought the 8th was possible is because I looked on google to find out and a few people said early ovulation on a short cycle can be as as close to period as that. I know very little about all these things as I've spent my life so far avoiding pregnancy lol.

@HoldTightPretendItsAPlan
Should I test now/tomorrow am or wait a week or so? Even if just to draw a line under it all! Hopefully next months cycle may be better for tracking.

Sorry silly question I'm guessing now is time to test . Will let you all know but I'm expecting BFN after understanding it a little more now.
