Really early ovulation - panicking!!

[Elz1406]

This is my first month of ovulation tracking and I tested positive for LH surge on my OPK in the afternoon of CD7! This means I'm ovulating day 8 or 9. I know this means the egg isn't sufficiently mature and conception is unlikely. I'm really shocked as I have a regular 28 day cycle that only fluctuates by a day max. I've read that this can indicate PCOS which I've never had any symptoms of or that early ovulation can happen before the start of menopause. I'm 31 so I really hope it isn't that. I was already feeling stressed about starting the ttc process and trying really hard to relax and be calm and now I'm full on panicking. Has anyone else experienced early ovulation when they have an average length cycle? I'm probably going to have to try and save up for a fertility assessment as I can't stand the uncertainty of not knowing what's wrong! Thanks <3

I ovulate at different times of the month. One month I can be really early and other months j can be really late. It hasn’t impacted me ttc and I gave birth last year to a healthy baby.

Stress won’t help right now so you need to try ease off. I was very stressed with ttc, I was doing all the tests, tracking my ovulation, taking tests early, reading up on everything and it was panicking me. My dh said it was a big turn off too as he felt pressured to perform. I spoke to a gp about my concerns and they told me to stop trying to actively ttc, try to relax and just have fun as the stress was having a negative impact. A few months of just seeing how things go and just enjoying myself whilst maintaining a healthy lifestyle resulted in me being pregnant.

Thanks :)That's really reassuring! I'm usually quite stressed from work anyway and I hadn't really realised how ttc was making me stressed because it was a sort of excited stressed. But I guess stress is stress!
I definitely need to be focusing on other stuff especially when it's not even during the fertile time.
When you ovulate at different times does the length of your cycle change too or just the ovulation time? Thanks so much for your kind words!

The length of my cycle is pretty much the same. I was panicked at first about the early ovulation and contacted my gp who said to see how it goes over a couple of months. The next month was very late and the third month seemed bang on time. Spoke to my gp again who reassured me that it can be normal and the fact that my cycle length was still the same then they wouldn’t be concerned.

I thought it was exciting stress too, I really enjoyed reading up on everything and sharing my learning with my dh but soon realised that as much as he found it interesting, he felt overwhelmed too. When I thought about it I realised the pressure I was putting on myself and him. Each month when I had a negative test I became more and more distraught. I was actively ttc for 2 years so when people around me seemed to be falling pregnant so quickly I just couldn’t handle it.
Once I stopped reading and tracking ovulation, I felt a massive weight off my shoulders. I could tell when I ovulated as I could feel my body temperature rising and I would be more naturally in the mood. I only took a test when I was a day late for my period and felt like it just wasn’t coming. I was surprised and over the moon to get a bfp. Fingers crossed yours happens soon!
