Q's about my cycle

Ok ladies I need input. As I have stated before, yes I am TTC #3 but this is my first time using OPK's, temp charting and everything of the like. I am super new to this and of course I have a few questions. I know your not medical professionals but I am sure you'll probably have some kind of insight into this.


This cycle began on June 1st that was the first day of my period. I only had a 3 day period, and according to my temps and fertility chart I ovulated on CD 8. Now usually most women O around CD 14 is that correct? What would cause an early O date and does this hurt my chances at becoming pregnant? I usually start my period on the 1st day of every month, like clockwork. There have been two times in my life when it was off a little bit and that was after the birth of each of my children in 05 and again in 07. So if Im not pregnant currently I should expect my period on July 1st. If I do not get my period I am still scheduled to test on July 4th. Does anyone know about the early ovulation date and the unusually long lenght of time btwn O and the start of my next period?


If you dont thats fine I was just looking for insight. Thanks again

Hi


Do you have a chart you can post of your temps?

Well, I'm no expert, and I don't temp, but it seems to me that temps should be used as a supplement to other things. My first thought is that you o-ed later than you think; did you use an OPK? check your CM? check your cervix?


If you indeed o-ed on CD8, you might have a very long LP, 16 days, and this might be a short cycle - 24 days. I can't think of another explanation. I think it's possibly to have a longer LP, but it's not normal, I don't think.
