Question about cycle without ovulating

I am having a wacky cycle this month and I am wondering if I am having an annovulatory cycle (someone suggested this on this board). For those of you that have had them, what does it feel like? Is the cycle that you skip ovulation wacky or the cycle after?

Thanks!!

I've had anovulatory cycles, without temp charting. The main thing for me is that my cycle would last for what seems like forever; I also wouldn't develop any EWCM or have any O pain. In general though, I felt perfectly healthy and normal while anovulatory... it's just that my period would be extremely late.

I've also had anovulatory cycles while temp charting. In those cases, my temps would be very erratic - I'd exhibit a high temp early in the cycle, followed by a low temp - my chart was really all peaks and valleys, and didn't have any real trend. The temp charting was a great way to validate that I was not ovulating.

I guess I would characterize the cycle WITH anovulation as the "wacky" one. The cycle after could be normal.

Good luck to you!

Thanks Tami,

I had a light AF and the symptoms never went away. Pg test have come out neg, so I was thinking maybe it was an annovulatory cycle. It doesn't sound like it.

Ho hum, I will try to be patient.

Thanks again,
