I've only been charting on paper for 2 months now, but I've been charting in my head for 20+ years. I've always known I've ovulated early. I've always had all the physical signs. I only recently learned about temping, but in the two months I've temped it's confirmed that I am an early ovulator.
The thing is, I have undeniable proof that I ovulate as early as I do, and still people are telling me that it's simply impossible to ovulate that early.
I started temping on Sunday October 8. My temp at 5am was 96.7. (by the look of this month, that's baseline pre-o)
Going back a few days from that.
On Wednesday October 4, I passed a bloodclot that was more greyish then red with slightly grey flakes the whole day. I bleed for a total of 2 days, but spotted for 7 days. This is when I'm thinking I had a miscarriage.
On Monday October 9 My temp at 5am was 97.5. (by this months look that is average for post-o) Around 9am I started getting hot shooting pains in my uterus and went to the emergency room thinking I might have a problem because I didn't bleed very much when I thought I had a miscarriage.
I had a pelvic ultra sound and the woman who does this for a living and sees uterus and ovaries and such in all forms of function said "You are ovulating today. I can see the follicle (whatever it's called) on you ovary is burst. It's day 14 of your cycle." This is just 5 days after I started bleeding...and I was still spotting. I had the two only real ways to prove ovulation. Ultra sound and a thermal shift on the same day.
The only thing odd about this cycle is that I had no physical indication that I was ovulating on CD5, but on CD9 I had EWCM, increased sex drive, ovulation pain and a second thermal shift. Everyone says it's impossible to ovulate twice...OK. either way, I didn't catch the egg that cycle and I started spotting on CD23.
This month I had all the physical symptoms of ovulation (EWCM, increased sex drive, Ovulation pain, and thermal shift) on Saturday Novemeber 4. My temps jumped from the 96's to the 97's. But everyone, including FF says it's simply impossible to ovulate that early. I'm starting to see a pattern in that on CD 9 I was given cross hairs.
By FF's count I started spotting on 10 DPO but by my calculation it's 13 DPO.
I'm completely open to the possibility that I may have progeterone issues because I have a history of having issues, but should I be more concerned with the fact that I'm giving every indication that I seem to be ovulating when it's simply impossible to do so?
My question is...
Why is it simply impossible to ovulate on CD 5 or 6?
And why is it that when I tell people that a pelvic ultra sound confirmed ovulation on CD 5 my response is "I don't know..."
I'm honestly not worried or stressed, I'm just 38 and I really don't want to just sit here for 6 months before finding out I have a problem. I feel like I just don't have 6 months to wait.
