Early ovulation

I had a name change fail but to cut a long story short, I normally ovulate mid to slightly later in my cycle. I don't chart but know my cycle very well and get ewcm and a specific symptom around that time. The coincided with opks in the past.

I had unprotected sex on the night of cd6, a few hours off cd7. The next day I got ewcm and suspected I was ovulated yesterday, which wax day 10 as I'd ewcm all week and had the usual ovulation symptom, which is very specific.

Today, I am now certain that I ovulated yesterday as my cervical mucous is now tacky and creamy. It doesn't stretch at all. It all dried up immediately.

I'm almost 41 but my other kids were conceived mid to late thirties and very easily. This baby will not have been planned.

Has this happened to anyone and they ended up pregnant? Do you think it's likely? We usually use condoms but honestly I thought cycle day 6 was fine! My husband will not be impressed! Ahhh!

Oh also, I've been on a health kick lately so not sure if that's connected! What do you think my chances are? I feel like I need to mentally prepare!

I conceived very late in my cycle- currently 28 weeks! Usually ovulate very regularly mid cycle so had unprotected sex near end of my cycle and i got pregnant (we were planning on trying so all fine) so I think ovulation can vary.

Gosh, you think you're safe and then bam! Thanks for telling me that ovulation can change. So it is a possibility. I am imagining my chances are quite low due to my age, but not impossible. I need to accept that this is a possibility potentially.

Well today I had one long very painful cramp all around my midsection for about 1 minute. I had to lie down and breathe through it. This doesn't happen very often so no sure what's going on in there. The thought that a fertilised egg could be in there is driving me crazy!

Me again. So on cycle day 10, I got the ovulation cramp very strongly, and which I always get around ovulation. The next day I'd a little ewcm but it dried up and I haven't seen it since.

Today, cd 13, I felt so aching around my ovary and cd 13 is much more within my normal range but no ewcm. Did I ovulate on cd 10 or today, based on those symptoms alone?

What do you all think?

Two days ago, 5 days after the very strong ovulation sensations I got on cd 10, I got lots of really weird stabbing pains and yellow cervical mucus. I've been feeling weird and this morning had a really strange sensation of tingling in my scalp. I got very early bfps with my other kids. This line came up within ten minutes but I saw it as a squinter after about 3.

My husband is going to be so upset.

Help. Help!!!
