Period and still pregnant?

Hi all. Well, I got my period on Tuesday October 27 and it was all over by October 31, 2003, which is a short one for me. I thought maybe it could have been implantation bleeding but there was some heavy bledding though, so I think it was my period. My question is, I bought a saliva OPK and when a person is ferile, your saliva crystalizes and it looks like ferns under the microscope. Well I have had ferns since day 3 of my cycle (not sure of 1 & 2 as I didn't have the opk yet). Can I ovulate that early in my cycle? Also, the saliva tests will show ferns for two weeks if you are pregnant, so could I be? I don't think I am though as I took a pregnancy test on October 26 and it was negative. I think this is all just wishful thinking.

My cycles are anywheres from 25 - 30 days. This will be my 6th month TTC #1. Also, how early or how long should I wait until I go to the doctor for help. I have been charting as well and just starting noting my cervial position. On Saturday, it was very fleshy, mushy and swollen. As before my period it was hard.

Anyways, I know it is gross, but I made sure we had intercourse during my period just in case. I know I know, that is TMI!

Thanks for any help or suggestions you can give me!!

Some people do ovulate during there period or in the days right after, it may not make sense but it happens. It does sound like you may be or have ovulated already. Being that your cervix was soft, thats a good sign of ovualtion. Its also usually high when you O. Though mine never did, mine only got a little soft, but the position remained the same. So hopefully you figured things out for yourself and caught your O at its strange time.
