Yes it is very possible. It all depends on the length of your cycle, what your regular patterns are, etc... The 14 days after you start your period is wrong, it is counting back from the end of your average cycle. Sounds like you are not charting? You may want to chart, if you are trying to become pregnant.
As for testing, do it if and when your period does not come. Anytime earlier is a wast of money since the hCG levels may not be high enough to read.
You should find that your menstrual cycle is made up of three phases. The first stage is the beginning on your cycle and is known as menses. Charting begins on day one of menses. The second phase is the follicular phase and occurs after menses and before ovulation. The length of the follicular phase may vary from cycle to cycle and from woman to woman. The follicular phase length determines your cycle length. Ovulation divides the follicular phase from the luteal phase. The luteal phase occurs after ovulation and lasts from 12 to 14 days, but may last from 10 to 15 days. The luteal phase length is usually fairly consistent rarely changing, more than a day or two, from cycle to cycle in an individual woman. You may have been told that most ‘regular’ cycles last from 29 to 30 days, as you are probably aware, we are all different and so are the lengths of our cycles. A typical menstrual cycle may be anywhere from 21 to 35 days, according to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine. Our cycles are all individual and different things can affect each cycle, but hopefully yours will show the hormone patterns that you seek. Life happens and things affect our bodies differently. You will probably find that no two cycles are exactly the same, but they should be similar. Charting will help you to realize when the three phases occur in your cycle so you can determine when you are most likely to conceive. You probably grew up believing that you ovulate, or are most fertile, on day 14 of your menstrual cycle, mid cycle or 14 days before your period is expected. This time frame is known as the cover line, but the assumption is based on broad averages and they may not be true for you, even if your cycles are regular. When cycles are irregular, it is usually a result of ovulation occurring earlier or later than expected. Knowing when you ovulate allows you to have a good idea if intercourse was well timed for conception and lets you determine your luteal phase length. Knowing your luteal phase length tells you when to expect your period or a positive pregnancy test result. Though not accurate either, the luteal phase is supposed to be 10 to 17 days long. By using this, you count back the length of your longest luteal phase from the length of your average cycle. It is suggested that you mark and ‘O’ on your chart to signify the earliest that you may ovulate. If you have a ‘regular’ length cycle, this means you should mark you ‘O’ at, or around, day 11 in your upcoming cycle. You can use this ‘O’ as a warning point for you to be a bit more observant in your monitoring.

It depends on how long your cycle is, but yes, it is possible, and perhaps even common to ovulate on day ten or eleven. Ovulation occurs between ten and sixteen days before menstruation, not fourteen days after. If you have a ten day luteal phase and a 21 day cycle, for example, you would ovulate on day ten. If you have a sixteen day luteal phase, and a 27 day cycle, you would ovulate on day eleven.
You can read more about ovulation in the book Taking Charge of Your Fertility, or at the website fertilityfriend.com

Your physique prepares for the ovulation as much as 5 days till now your egg is unquestionably released. Sperm can stay on your fertile mucous for as much as 5 days additionally. So in case you have intercourse, sperm will already be waiting there to fertilize the egg. So...in simple terms when you consider which you notice the sparkling mucuos does no longer advise you ovulated that very comparable day. frequently the day you ovulated, is the final day of the sparkling mucous.
