Hello,
I mostly lurk here but have a question I think you can help with.
My last period was 4 days early. It started on December 16th and I spotted for four days then started a "normal" period on what would have been my expected start day (Dec 20th). I had some very light cramping and spotting around the 31st, but no ovulation CM. Could that have been ovulation? I had major left side pain on Tuesday January 2nd (the day I would have ovulated had my period been on the normal 31 day course. I've had ovulation-type CM this week when I would have normally expected it. The only reason that I worry is because DH and I BD last night (Jan 3). When I checked my ovulation calendar, it said that I should have ovulated on Jan 2nd if my cycle was 31 days. Because of the mid-cycle spotting, I thought I was out of the fertility zone, so we weren't exactly careful. I conceived the first time we tried with both our children (truly blessed, I know), so I'm afraid that we may have cut it close. Was it ovulation, or should I start obsessing now?

its hard to say. it may have just been random spotting and you might have ovulated on the 2nd like you thought. i hope you get the answers you are looking for.
