Default Question for Vitex Users

Hey ladies...I have a question for anyone who has used Vitex. I decided to try vitex since my gyn made me stop bcps due to migraines and I am not a huge fan of provera. I started using vitex back on November 9th and had a light af after 14 days (11/19-24). I continued to take it and had another af 28 days later (12/17-20...woo hoo!!- never thought I'd say that about getting an af!)

Anyhoo...to the meat of my question. I went away for the holidays and failed to bring any "protection" and (TMI - sorry!) dh and I bd'd 4 times between 12/24 and 1/1. I know that ovulation is usually 14 days after the first day of your last af but I kinda sorta feel like I could be pg. Is this at all possible? Or am I completely out of my mind? Could I have ovulated that early?

Please feel free to call me naive and stupid. I'm just trying to make sense of my body which is no small task.

Well if your period started 12/17... and you bd'd 1/1... that IS 14 days, isn't it? Sperm can live up to 6 days in the female body, though realistically 3 is a better guess - but totally possible. So you will be testing around the 14th I guess?

We never talk of our lacking relationships
And how we're guilt-stricken, sobbing, with our heads on the floor
We fell through the ice when we tried not to slip..."

Anything is possible... especially with our abnormal (normal to us!) cycles!
