if you have a period every month?

Question

if you have a period every month on the same date every month without fail does that mean that your ovulating??? or could there still be probs with ovulation if though your periods are fine?? iam 27 trying for a baby and i have fibroids my periods are fine but nothing is happening even though we have sex at the right times when iam supposed to be ovulating

Answer 1

Many women who have an irregular period aren't ovulating. There are a number of ways that you can determine if you are ovulating or not.

The first and easiest way is to get a blood test from your doctor.

You can also buy an at home ovulation predictor kit, although these aren't always 100% accurate.

You can also chart your body basal temperature. On the day of ovulation, and every day after that until the beginning of your next cycle, your temperature is one degree higher than normal. It is recommended that you take your temperature before you get out of bed in the morning, and at the same time as movement affects the reading.

You can also examine the position of your cervix. When you are ovulating, your cervix is low and soft like the inside of your cheek. At all other times, your cervix is high and hard like the tip of your nose.

When you are ovulating, you may feel slight twinges around your ovaries

When you are ovulating, you may notice a difference in your cervical mucus. It should be clear and sticky, and you may be able to spread as much as 5cm string between your thumb and your forefinger. Gross, I know! It needs to be sticky to draw the sperm.

I'm going to include the link to a trying to conceive forum that I think you might find helpful. It's full of supportive women with boundless information about these issues. I learnt so much there that I doubt I would have learnt otherwise.

Answer 2

Many women do not ovulate every month and will still experience a period. Most women ovulate every couple of months and while its true that some will ovulate monthly, others may ovulate once in a blue moon! Women will ovulate at different times, some a few days before their period etc.

There are many over the counter ovulation detection kits available from the pharmacy (if you live in the UK, Boots have a good selection). These generally rely on a mentrual cycle of between 25 and 31 days.

Also, the Persona device (typically used for contraception) can also tell you when you are ovulating and is probably more cost effective in the long run. I actually used this device to protect from unwanted pregnancies and then I used it in reverse to conceive.

You can also use a Basel Thermometer as your basel temperature will rise when you are ovulating, you should be able to pick this up in most pharamacies.

If you are concerned, talk to your doctor about referring you to a fertility specialist and also discuss your fibroids to find out if they will be a complication while trying to conceive. Also remember, on average it can take a couple up to 1 year to conceive.

Try to relax, eat a healthy diet, take up gentle exercise if not already and if you're overweight they try to lose weight as being overweight can also impede your efforts.

Best of luck for the future.

If you want to know more about uterine fibroids and you want to eliminate all the symptoms naturally you must read this great book: http://www.goobypls.com/r/rd.asp?gid=553

Uterine fibroids are a common health concern among a major population of women. Uterine fibroids are benign, non cancerous tumours that originate within the uterus. They are also called fibroid tumors, leiomyomas, or myomas. They are made of the same muscle tissues as the uterus, though they tend to be hardened. This is possibly because uterine fibroids contain higher levels of estrogen than the surrounding uterine tissues. Some uterine fibroids may be so small that they can't be felt even during an internal examination; some may be large enough to make a prominent bulge in your stomach.

Answer 4

Can I have a period and still not have ovulated?
Having a period does not necessarily mean that ovulation has taken place. Some women may have what is called an anovulatory cycle, (meaning no ovulation) and can experience some bleeding which is mistaken for a period, but it is actually not a true period. This bleeding is caused by either a buildup in the uterine lining that can no longer sustain itself or by an estrogen level drop. The main way to decipher if ovulation is in fact taking place is by tracking the body temperature.

Answer 5

I know it sounds silly but you can try too hard to have a baby you know i tries for 1 and a half years doing all the ovulation test availiales temperature charts nothing.Then my friend suggested that i was trying too hard she told me to forget about having a baby and get back to enjoying sex without the quick lets do it its the right time and low and behold 2 months later i fell pregnant,so stop stressing and enjoy your partner i worked for me.good luck

Answer 6

Your period doesn't necessarily mean you ovulated. You can buy ovulation kits from the drugstore that check for ovulation much the same as pregnancy tests check for pregnancy.

Answer 7

as far as I am aware it is really hard to get pregnant with fibroids. Go see your doctor. Remember its not all about getting preganant. Enjoy the making of the baby and you'll probably get pregnant in no time at all. Stress can actually prevent preganancy aswell.

Answer 8

When you can't get pregnant, and things look good from the outside, it can be extremely frustrating. Anyway this is a great method to get pregnant: https://tr.im/hcqpl
The first thing to consider is how long have you been trying. About 80% of couples will get pregnant after six months of trying, and about 90% will be pregnant after 12 months of trying to get pregnant

Answer 9

Uterine fibroids are usually not dangerous, but can cause immense discomfort and lead to complications like anemia from heavy blood loss. In rare cases, they may cause complications that affect pregnancy.

In cases where there are no symptoms, treatment may not be necessary. However, proper diagnosis and treatment may be required if your symptoms are severe or causing complications. Along with conventional treatment, you can try some natural home remedies. Read here https://tr.im/eR3LF

Answer 10

How long have you been trying for a baby i was trying for 18 months.
You should both see your doctor and check that all is fine, some people just take longer than others.
Good luck
