Is it possible to ovulate then immediately have a period?

My cycles the last few months started coming every 25 days and I think with ovulation being around day 10.
This month I had EWCM on Sunday then on Monday had dark brown spotting that has now turned into a normal period flow.

What happen? Is it possible to still conceive this cycle?

I sometimes get wet or EWCM right before AF so that may be what's going on. Was AF super early? Or do you think you O'd late this month?

I get the same way too, strvnwritr and taatie. So much so (almost every period) that I think I missed my actual ovulation and actually o much later, but it doesn't make sense. I feel extra wet/CM-y like 4 days before my period and I don't think I O that late either. I think it's just something that happens, because with opk's I think I ovulate between days 14-15. Do you chart/use opk's?

Yes AF was super early. AF started at day 25 on 1/19. The EWCM was on time for normal O on 1/28 & 1/29, but AF started again yesterday 1/30. So barely 10 days after last one.

Any ideas? Do I still have a chance?

Yes it is normal to get EWCF before AF.

So two plausible options that I know of:

1) You O'd early this cycle
2) Your body geared up to O but didn't follow through. And when it didn't happen, your body decided to cut its losses and start AF. I have had that happen after annovulatory cycles, and it is normal for women to have an annovulatory cycle every once in a great while.

Otherwise it would point to a luteal phase defect, and a rather severe one. It sounds like you normally are fine, so I wouldn't guess that's it. I really think scenario 2 is more likely.

I think that assessment makes perfect sense. So just count the 30th as CD 1 and hopefully February will be a normal cycle for you. Good luck this month!
