Predicting Ovulation
Hi...another post on behalf of my low-tech wife: My husband & I have been trying to get pregnant for the last 6 months. I got off the birth control pill in Jan'03 and we started trying since then. Since then, my periods have been quite regular with either a 27 or 28 day cycle, the 28 day one being more common. From all my charting experiences to predict ovulation, my best guess showed that I usually ovulated around day 14/15 Although on my last cycle, it seemed like I did not ovulate until day 18. Is it possible that the day you ovulate varies that much from cycle to cycle? Also, is it possible to ovulate on day 18 & still be on a 28 day cycle? Thanks in advance! |

From what I have read the part of your cycle which varies is the part before ovulation. The part after ovulation (luteal phase) is usually the same every month. You can ovulate late due to stress, illness etc.. but then it will still be the same amount of time between ovulation and your period. So if you normally ovulated on day 14 and get your period on day 28 then your luteal phase is about 14 days. So if for some reason you ovulated later this month on day 18 then with a forteen day luteal phase you can expect your period on about day 32. So even if you are pregnant it may not show up positive yet because you aren't due for your period and HPTs are usually most effective when you have missed your period. Good Luck |

I had a strange situation where I was regulary ovulating on day 18/19 but my luteal phase often varied wildly between 10 days right down to 5 days! so I was about to head off to a gyno when lo' and behold I managed to get pregnant even with my freaky cycles. So I believe that it is possible given my experience but it seems mine is in no way common. :\ i only hope that when I'm TTC next time that my cycle has sorted itself out. all the best Aprill EDD #1 14th Feb 04 (TTC 12 months) |
