AF due 19-22 Oct. Looking for cycle buddy

Christine
I am 32 with 2 kids. This is my first month TTC since my love got back from deployment. This will be his first child. He is 33 almost and is scared he cannot conceive since we haven't been very careful in previous years. My AF is due 19-22 Oct and it's only normally 2-3 days. I am normally quite regular but this last month my cycle and ovulation were only 10 days apart unlike my normal 14. My last ovulation was on the 4th per my OPKs. Everything I've read said I could take a test on the 18th. But figured I'd wait til when my AF would normally make her appearance after 25 Oct. Anyone else have a weirdly close AF and ovulation?
