I may have ovulated during my period

Well, I'm not sure when I exactly ovulated, but I know I have ovulated before today, cycle day 10. Looking at my chart, it appears that I may have ovulated on cycle day 3!!!! I'm so confused. I didn't even think that it was possible to ovulate during your period. On cycle day 3 I had 4 antral follicles. They don't start to test progesterone until day 10. I have read that you can have antral follicles during your luteal phase, so it's possible by then I ovulated. I went in today for my cycle day 10 ultrasound and they told me that I had no measurable follicles, but I had 5 of them. I was confused because usually by cycle day 10 I'm ready to trigger. Well, a couple hours after I got home the nurse called me to say that my progesterone was high and that I already ovulated. I don't know what is going on or how this is even possible. I am very worried about myself and really think that there is something desperately wrong with me. Mind you I did take a very high dose of Femara last cycle which could explain why I ovulated super early this cycle. Maybe it lingered into my next cycle? 

I'm a bit worried because I'm going on a trip for 8 nights on January 19. I was thinking my cycle wouldn't be so weird and that I could control AF so I wouldn't see the witch during my trip, but it looks like I may be out of luck. The nurse told me to come in tomorrow to get progesterone and then come in 2 weeks for a pregnancy test. I don't think I have a chance this cycle. I'm going to take progesterone for 12 days starting tomorrow. Hopefully, it will delay AF and I won't get it when I'm away. We are going on a Caribbean cruise and I want to spend my time in a bathing suit and not stuck in my room the whole time rocking back and forth in pain. AF is torturous for me.

  1. I'm sorry your cycle seems to be so wonky for you lately. Hope you can just enjoy your cruise and not have to worry about AF showing up.

  2. thank you for your comment. I was lucky enough to not get AF while I was away and my cycle has straightened itself out.
