Planning a Baby  Discussion Forum

Hey gals,

Do no what to do.I feel dipressed today.We are trying from past7mths.No Luck.This month I started using BBT.I thought I ovulated but no signs of it.Let me explain this to u.

1st day of periods on Oct 31st,Letz consider from 1stNov till 5th.(i ll have 5 days).but this mth even on 6th & 7th i had very slight bleeding.
But started my BBT from7th Nov.Today its already 18th nov.my BBT shows constant 97.2 - 97.5.It hasn't crossed above that.Just wondering if iam ovulating or not.Its been 18days.But we had x 3times.I do want to get disappointed like everymonth.Pls let me know ur experience.

After how many mts can my hubby withdraw,Pls don't mind.Its bugging me,so Iam asking you all.

Are there any reasons for not ovulating?If so what is the cause/what is it called.iam 27yrs old.

Plz give me some +ve answer.

Thanks, IB replied. hey,

dont worry that it didnt click this cycle. keep checking your bbt and see if there is a rise in temp. dont worry and stress yourself out cause stress is a mjor factor which affects ovulation and also the chances of getting pregnant.

i know its very difficult to divert our attention at this point of time when we are ttc but try and do something to keep u busy during this time. its easier said than done. but we are all sailing in the same boat and be positive.. god has a plan for all of us and we will all soon be blessed . dont worry.

IB IB replied. Hii Strawberrypink,

Can you tell us what your cycle length is. sometime when you are trying to conceive there are chances that your periods might get delayed by few days. It happened to me once and my periods got delayed by almost 13 days. If this is the case then you might be ovulating later than you actually think . But usually after you ovulate your basal body temeperature rises. Increase in your BBT is actually indicative of occurence of ovulation.

It also happens sometimes that in some cycles you do not ovulate. Its called an anovulatory cycle. I am not really sure why it happens.
Why dont you try buying ovulation predictor kits from your next cycle onwards which could pinpoint when you would ovulate.
Hope this helps. Wishing you loads of baby dust.
