Just wondering what some of ages are of any of the above posters. I ask bc now that I'm 36 I do notice my ovulation (and cycles are shortning) seems to be happening sooner after my period. Not the case at all in my late 20s/early 30s when I started tracking to TTC.

I'm waiting to find out just that. Monday evening sesh toward end of cycle, ewcm beginning the day after and lasting till positive opk Sunday and thermal shift Monday. And we aren't trying, but it seems I was fertile a little earlier than expected.

Yes. Happened two days after my period ended.

So we must have had a condom failure along the way.

Or you ovulated earlier than you thought. Sperm can live in waiting for almost a week. how long was your period that month?

I thought that, but the unprotected romp was Sep. 17, and conception was October 1st. That would a darn hardy sperm. A franken-sperm even. If this baby arrives with super-strength or something I may reevaluate

I don't know; both times I've gotten pregnant were on day 7.

I did, but my cycles were crazy after going off BC. I finally decided to start using OPKs and the very first one I used was a solid smiley two days after AF. It was solid for another 48 hours after that and a few weeks later, I found out I'm pregnant with #1!

In retrospect, I think it was really just breakthrough bleeding from going like 70+ days without a real period. I'm not sure how common it is to ovulate right after your period.

This is me too.

Exactly. I have a short cycle and ovulate just a couple days after my period ends. But I already know that so it's my normal, which is a little different than what you're asking, I think.

What do you mean, exactly?

No, you can't get pregnant between your period and before you ovulate. Unless you ovulate days after your period, but that would be unusual.

You can have some light spotting and PMS symptoms that would be symptomatic of implantation, and not a period. In that case, you could get a positive test right after the bleeding that you mistook for a period.

Is it possible?
