Ovulating but not this month?

Question

My husband and I are trying for a baby for the first time this month. I started to chart as well this month (temperature, cervix fluid etc.). Well, we had sex about five times during my ovulation period. But I noticed that I did not have the slippery cervix fluid that I should have when I ovulate. I was thinking well maybe I did not ovulate this month. Is this possible? Did that happened to anyone? Thank you

Answer 1

If you are expecting to ovulate during a certain time because that's what you figured calculating it doesn't mean you will. You might have a different luteal phase than the typical and ovulate a week earlier or later.

Check your cervical mucus every day of the month. When it does get clear and runny/stringy you will ovulate about 2-3 days later. Have sex every other day during that time. Don't worry about when you're SUPPOSED to ovulate. Go by what your body is doing.

You really don't even have to chart anything. Have sex every 2-3 days during the month and you're doing your best job ever.

Answer 2

I never had any symptoms for ovulation so I tried an ovulation kit. I started with the cheap one that said I didn't ovulate, but switched to a digital first response, and it worked, and I am now pregnant. Good luck.

Answer 3

Some women never have fertile mucous. Others have fertile mucous after they have already ovulated. Discontinuing any kind of hormonal medication (i.e. birth control), as well as other medications, can cause cervical mucous confusion. I'm not sure that my mucous was ever really fertile and I conceived the first month. Good luck!

Answer 4

I never saw that fertile CM, yet had no problem conceiving either time. When your temp goes up and stays up, it means you ovulated.
