Why am I not Oing?

I have a 30 day cycle and it's day 18 already. Why haven't I ovulated yet? I'm using the OPK and still nothing!! Is this abnormal???

Re: Why am I not Oing?

This past cycle was only 29 days for me and I ovulated on day 19. Hang in there...

Re: Why am I not Oing?

it's tough to say-

have you used OPKs before? or are you using a different brand than before? if you're new to OPKs, you may be someone whose LH level isn't high enough to get picked up by the OPK. this won't affect your ability to conceive, but just means you probably would have to use another method of predicting ovulation. also, different brands have different sensitivities. consumer reports magazine rated a bunch of OPKs in 2003, and found that most brands were not nearly as sensitive as advertised!

it's also possible that you haven't ovulated yet in your cycle, so definitely keep testing!

lastly, it's possible that you are just having an anovulatory cycle this month, which happens to most women every now and again...

hope this helps! sorry you're having trouble

Have you always ovulated?

Re: Why am I not Oing?

Last cycle I didnt O until day 25. Everyone is different. Try not to worry.

Re: Why am I not Oing?

Coul be you missed your O. I have a 30 day cycle and i O on CD 16 or 17. Have you have EWCM? I usually O 1-2 days after the day that I have the most EWCM. When are you testing-you should test between 12-8PM
