Questions about ovulation
by Tracy-N, Jan 21, 1999 12:00AM
Hi I am trying to concieve a baby. I was wondering if you can ovulate with out the feeling of the mucus that is present . I am taking the ovulation predictor kits 2 times a day as well. MY cycles have been really off. of/ver the last 4 months it was 39 days 32 days 36 days and 34 days. SInce i have long cycles does that mean i am ovulating later in the cycle not the 14 days after you last period. I have been testing since day 11 of this cycle and still no luck. I guess i should keep on testing till i ovulate or get my period
Thanks
Tracy
Dear Tracy:
The combination of irregular menstrual cycles (length variation) and no color change with urine ovulation detection kit is most consistent with NO ovulation. Ovulation may be disrupted by changes in weight, exercise, time zones; "stress" which is hard to define; hormonal issues such as thyroid.
Cervical mucus is a marker of the hormonal issues that happen close to ovulation.
