Not ovulating

Hey guys,

I came off the pill mid-September and have not ovulated in my next two cycles (My Charts). Is this normal or should I be checking it out with the doc?

I kind of thought maybe not ovulating my first cycle was ok, but am a little worried it hasn't happened in my next cycle either....?

If some of you have had similar experiences after coming off the pill it might put my mind at rest and I can stop being a worry-wart!

No, no OPK tests - just the thermometer. There hasn't been any temperature spikes at all though that could even possibly be a sign of ovulation - it's just been plain old boring temperatures. I have a history of slightly lower thyroid hormone levels than normal (but never been serious enough to have treatment for) so I'm thinking that might be a factor perhaps?

Or, maybe it's just normal not to ovulate for a while after coming off the pill - that's what I don't know

I know I had 3 periods after coming off the pill and only ovulated after the 3rd one (that resulted in a BFP ). I was just temping and charting on FF, but it was quite obvious and different from the previous cycles.

It may still be early in your cycle yet, not all women have 28 days cycles. Mine varied from 31 to 40 days and I ovulated anywhere from CD18 to CD29.

Both times I have been pg,l FF moved my lines and thought I ovulated later than I actually did so it is not super reliable.

In terms of not ovulating when coming off the pill, I dont want to freak you out, but I did not ovulate for my first 5 cycles after coming off the pill.

I would wait this cycle out and see what happens, it can take a couple of months for your body to regulate after coming off the pill.

Good luck hun, hope you ovulate over the next few days.

Ditto to that. Im not either hun

I agree with the other ladies, it may just take a few cycles to happen. I definitely didnt Ov my first cycle off the pill and that only lasted 18 days.
Good luck hun

I would keep BDing for a few more days, you know just to be sure

I am not particularily patient myself and was incredibly anxious that there was something wrong.

I hope you have ovulated and FF gives you your lines.. just keep in mind that if it does they will be broken lines for the first few cycles as needs 3 cycles to give more accurate information.

Hi, I am not ovulating either and I know how frustrating it is. I came off the depo a year ago to give my body time to sort things out before we started trying but unfortunatly this hasn't happened. Good luck and I hope it happens this cycle for you

I am with you on that one Rillamyrilla - I am very confused on the whole getting your period when you don't ovulate thing ????
