Ovulating late

I am yet again having a really strange cycle. I have not ovulated, and my body does not even seem close to ovulation and I am on CD 14. I usually ovulate on CD12 or 13. I am not so much concerned that I have not ovulated yet, but that my body does not even seem close to it.

I started to take mucinex this month and evening primrose, did either of those cause anyone to ovulate late?

Ugg! I am getting frustrated. Why as soon as I TTC do my cycles get all messed up?

Re: Ovulating late

Wow, this is so strange bc I am cd15 and was just thinking the same thing this morning!!! I am only suppose to O today, but I usually feel alot going on right before and this month .... NOTHING! I even tried OPK's this month (bc someone gave me theirs after getting pregnant) and not even a yet - whicj I believe you get when you are 24-36 hours before O.... ugh...

Re: Ovulating late

i've taken mucinex a few times and it never affected my O date.

all i can suggest is that stress can have a pretty big effect on your cycle, so maybe that is causing you to O later. or maybe you are just noticing it b/c you are tracking it more closely?

i am finding that my cycle is shorter by about 2-3 days the last few months, ever since i stopped focusing so much on what day i O (stopped using OPKs)

Re: Ovulating late

When we were TTC with DS, the first month I did OPKs I went through a whole pack and had to buy another. I got my surge on day 18.

Re: Ovulating late

I did not get my positive on the OPK until dat 25 so there is still hope and i am pregnant now

Re: Ovulating late

The month I got my BFP I used mucinex for the first time. I was also using OPK's. For the 3 months prior I always ovulated on day14. That month though I didn't ovulate until day 19. Not sure if it had anything to do with the mucinex or if I was just having a wacky cycle. Hang in there, you'll ovulate eventually. Good luck!

Re: Ovulating late

try not to worry....I went through the same thing this monht....and ultimately O'd on day 21. Totally unusual. I took robitussin, but that would NOT effect anything. No way.

Re: Ovulating late

I remember you said you were taking vitamin B6 for a short LP. I was thinking of starting it, so I did some research a few days ago and found some people reported a delayed O after a few months of being on it. I'm not sure if that could be it but just thought I would mention it.

Re: Ovulating late

oops ...I should mention that I did find a lot of success stories and BFP's even with the later O!! HTH

Re: Ovulating late

Sometimes, and I stress sometimes, a woman has an anovulatory cycle, wherein she does not O. This happens at least once a year to most women. It's not something to worry about though. If, however, you notice that it happens more than once from when you started testing OPKs... then see you doctor.

Try not to freak yourself out. (I know it's easier said than done...) It's normal. Keep testing with your OPK even if you have to up until day 21... I know it's expensive, but if you want to make sure...

FM me if you have any questions!!

Re: Ovulating late

I'm taking Mucinex for the first time this month..and I'm O'ing a few days earlier then usual. UGH...I just think our bodies do whatever they want. No rhyme or reason.
