A member asked:

My cycle is usually 28-30 days long. how likely/possible is it that i have ovulated before day 8 of my cycle?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very unlikely, but: Life can be full of surprises. Ovulating on Day 8 of a menstrual cycle should lead to a menstrual period before Day 28, meaning cycles should be shorter than the current 28-30 days. However, in real life, things don't always work as described in theory or in textbooks.
