The short answer to your question is YES!
The preovulatory phase of the cycle is variable in length, from woman to woman, and for any one woman. When a woman experiences a short cycle, the mucus production can begin while she is still menstruating, therefore her fertility begins while she is still on her period. Some women regularly have short cycles, and so this is a frequent occurrence for them, while it is less common for other women.
Different NFP methodologies address this possibility in different ways, and it is best to consult an NFP Practitioner in your area for specific instruction.
