question on ovulation

[Gerberia]

I have a question, usually I ovulate on day 16 and get my period exactly 10 days later...I have always been able to predict exaclty when I am to get my period...this month I ovulated on day 13 now I dont know if my period should come as usual 10 days after my period or on my 26 day ???? very confused. I felt mild cramping at 5 & 6 dpo. and my breast are have been sore to the touch at times...I dont know if this is because of AF or what? I dont want to get my hopes up again... and I will not test unless I miss my period.

If your luteal phase is always 10 days, then ovulating earlier should not change that. You should expect your period day 26 if you ovulated day 13. It's the phase before ovulation that can vary, but usually after o until af doesn't change much.

great thank you...so if I ovulated on day 13 I should get my period on day 23 right?

Oh sorry, yeah thats what I meant, I can't count tonight! Good luck, it sounds good with the bbs hurting and cramping 6dpo. I hope you get a positive! I think I'm ovulating now (late, day 27) and am hoping for BFP in a couple weeks...
