Can I ovulate while on period
Okay so I usually have a 7 day cycle. Started on the 31st of January but stopped on the 3rd of February . My hormones was acting up I know cause I was extremely turned on and cm was eggwhite stretchy. So today I have so dark brown spotting looks like old blood and still the same cm. My question is can I ovulate that soon?

It is possible to ovulate very early, the tail end of ovulation coinciding with the last day/s of your period. As a side note: positive OPKs don't confirm ovulation. If temperature charting doesn't work for you, the only other way to confirm ovulation is to check progesterone with a blood test ~ 1 week after suspected ovulation. Eggwhite stretchy cm points to elevated estrogen levels but does not necessarily mean you are about to/or will ovulate. Best wishes.

the length of bleeding is irrelevant. the cycle begins with the first day of bleeding. sometimes one can ovulate as early as cd 6-8. if you are trying to conceive you might want to see a obgyn or a fertility specialist, as it may be next to impossible to conceive with such an early ovulation (the eggs need time to ripen and the lining needs time to get thick).
opk is not 100% reliable but it does confirm LH surge (eggwhite cm = oestrogen, not indicative, LH surge may indicate a close ovulation - even if not every LH surge means ovulation, but almost).
