Early Ovulation

Is it possible to ovulate early - cycle day 8?  My doc's office doesn't thing so, but that is the day on this cycle that I finally got ewcm.  We've been trying for a year.  One pg in August resulting in mc in October.  Nothing since then.  I started about 6 months ago tracking cm and it's taken the last two cycles to notice ewcm.  Could my hormones still have been off?  Both cycles I noticed this early.  My doc's office since this means I am not ovulating.  I will be 40 in November.  Could that be the case?

Hi Moonflower09,
We can definitely ovulate that early, I know I have. I usually ovulate on cycle day 9, but I have ovulated on day 8, 9, 10 and 11. I have a short cycle, so my Dr. says early ovulation is normal for me, as long as my luteal phase is 14 days. I was on Depo provera shots for 10 years, which made me 'dry', and I have only recently started getting EWCM, but I also use PreSeed lubricant to help. It is sperm friendly, and resembles natural EWCM. Work great, but so far I haven't gotten pregnant with it.

Also, could it take THIS long for my hormones to return to normal after the mc? Up until the last two cycles I have not had any ewcm. I had retained product and elevated hcg levels through December.

Thanks!

Interesting...
And my previous cycle was longer than norm. I was 3 days late. We started trying the day before and did it every other day there after for 1 week. Maybe. This has been a long journey and I'm about to give up hope.

I agree, you can ovulated on cd 8 and I know i did for sure a few cycles ago.  I was feeling ovulation pain on cd 6, so on cd 7 I used my fertility monitor and it went straight to peak! I called my RE office, went in to see them,  and they had me do another opk kit test, and it was positive!  My lining was 7 and my follicle was 16.  I know I ovulated the next day per my temp charts.  it was a strange short cycle, just 19 days with early ovulation, but the previous cycle was long.  Last two cycles I have ovulated on cd 13, and I am taking vitex and macaroot which I think are helping plus I found out my thyroid was a little off, so I am taking medicine for that now. I would start charting temps to help find ovulation.  Since we are older, it tends to move around, I am 41.

Yes you could. I buy ovulation predictor tests and I ovulated on day 10 or 11 this month. I am on fertility meds though. But each woman and each cycle is different. You also can get ewcm several times each month. just keep bd'ing every other day! Good Luck!
