reg cycle = ovulation?
| Tue, 09-16-2003 - 3:27pm |
I have a VERY regular 28 day cycle. In my 13 years of getting periods, I have maybe been a day late once or twice - but NEVER missed a period. Anyways...I'm really nervous as to why I'm not getting pregnant with such a reg cycle. BF and I haven't had safe sex for 3 years, but still no baby!
I guess what I'd like to know is how common is it to have regular periods, but not be ovulating and releasing an egg? I know this happens mostly in women with irregular cycles....
This is the first cycle that I started charting BBT and CM...
Thanks!

The fact that you are very regular (I assume without any birth control) suggests that you are probably ovulating. Its not 100% but very likely. You could be ovulating at a different time than you think though. Don't assume that you ovulate on day 14. It could easily be a few days before or after that time. Its good that you are starting to chart, that will show you what your regular cycle is, for example it might show you that you O on day 12 or day 16, then you can plan your BD a little better next cycle. Since you have been having regular unprotected sex for over a year, you could call the doc and schedule a fertility workup. They will probably test your hormones and your DH sperm count/quality first. THose are the easy things. Best of luck to you!

Mommy to Anna 7.7.04 & Ben 11.19.06
an unregular schedule and it took me 6 years to have my 2nd
child. and i had gotten pregnant back in May and lost it
after trying for 3 years. it was my first loss.
anyways,
i came up with this schedule for my months after my pms.
the day my pms ends i get on a schedule for sex.
the first monday that would come after pms i would start
it would then be like this, the sex schedule:
monday-wednesday-friday-saturday
doing it this way, how can you miss
your ovulation day.
give it a shot and see what happens.
but having that much sex can become
quit boring, just to let you know.
let me know how it goes
email me at teetee0803@aol.com
well good luck!!!!!!!
About my boyfriend....he doesn't have health insurance, but I do. Does anybody know if a semen analysis would be covered under my insurance - probably not :( - since we are checking "our" fertility? Or if not, anybody have any idea how much it costs to have a semen analysis done at the drs? Or anybody ever tried the at home analysis kits you can get at Target (about $43)? Sheesh! So many questions! I appreciate all the info!
