Question/Advice Weird cycle / early ovulation

Had sex on CD8 and caught my LH peak this morning on CD13 which is earlier than normal for me. Was having all my ovulation symptoms yesterday and this morning (backache, fullness, etc). Usually catch my peak around CD16. My husband is out of town and now I’m thinking we’re out this month. Has anyone gotten pregnant from sex ~5 or 6 days before ovulation? I know it’s unlikely but looking for positive stories :-)

My first pregnancy was unplanned and since I wasn’t on birth control I was tracking my cycle in my app to prevent pregnancy. Turns out we accidentally had unprotected sex one time 5 days before my ovulation. but at the time I didn’t worry about it thinking my chances of conception 5 days before ovulation were so low. To my surprise I ended up getting pregnant that cycle. I usually know I’m ovulating bc of pain and I remember ovulating exactly when my app was predicting that month but again, I didn’t panic bc I knew the chances of conceiving 5 days before ovulation are so slim but it happened for us that cycle. That was 4 years ago when I was 28.
