Positive OPK, but only A WEEK until AF (period). . . HELP!!!!!!?

Question

i'm on my 23rd day of my cycle. and am supposed to start in exactly 7 days and i just got a positive OPK. i just took one randomly. i thought that after you ovulated, its at least 14 days until you start your period (luteal phase) whats up with my. my period are pretty regular.

has this happened to you?? what was the result??

also, i have no idea what this would have to do with anything, but last night i was standing in front of the mirror and all of a sudden my nose started bleeding badly into my mouth. (tmi) and i never get bloody noses. my husband and my sister both said, "OMG!! your pregnant" lol.

anywho, what do you think???? if its positive tomorrow AND the next day, i'll probably take a pregnancy test, but i didn't want to give my hopes up so soon.

Answer 1

Not every woman has a 14 day luteal phase. Mine was only 5 days (which is considered really short) and it's pretty much impossible to get pregnant with a luteal phase of less than 10 days. If you're not pregnant and your period starts on time, you have a short luteal phase. You can lengthen it by taking Vitex (it's been one months and mines already up to 13 days:)). Good luck, and baby dust to you! If you have any questions, feel free to message me:)
