They used to be 28 days now I have noticed that they are 23 days apart

Hi Sunny,

OVULATION generally occurs mid-cycle, so in your current case--you MOST likely ovulate on Day 11 or 12 [i.e. 10 or 11 days AFTER the onset of your period].

This also means: that you ovulate every 23 days.

[in the past--you ovulated every 28 days; and ovulation occurred on Day 14 or 15...it is not that unusual for the cycle-length to change].

Hope that helps...take care!

So does this mean that if I started on the 4 of Nov. I started to Ovulate on the 19th? Around the 16th of the month I had very tender brest. I had sex on the 18 and 19th of the month. Is my brest being tender a sign of ovulation or pre-peroid signs. Also is it possible to be pregant and still have your peroid? Because I strated my peroid on Dec. 1st.

ANSWERS:

1. Ovulation would have been on: Nov 15 or 16th
2. Initially (11/16), tender breasts was sx of Ovulation
3. Now [past few days]--it is sign of pre-menses
4. NO--it is NOT possible to be pregnant, and still have a normal period
5. Conclusion: I'm CERTAIN that you are not pregnant.

Hope this helped...take care.
