Is it possible not to ovulate every month?

Question

is it possible not to ovulate every month? i have been using opks today is cd 15 on a 26 day cycle with no ovulation yet detected.

Answer 1

It is possible not to ovulate every month. I dont'. I am ttc and I have to take clomid to ovulate.  

Answer 2

It's very common.  Most women have a month or two that they don't ovulate.    Sometimes it's caused by a cyst (usually a harmless functional cyst) or too low/high of estrogen for that cycle.  Lack of ovulation increases in occurance as we get older.

You may also just be ovulating late this month.

Either way, it's nothing to worry about unless you go months in a row with no ovulation.

Answer 3

Yep unfortunately it is fairly common to not ovulate, and some even have regular periods too, when you don't ovulate, it's called anovulation, and it's quite common, especially with women who have PCOS (like myself), The doc can prescribe meds to induce ovulation, such as Clomid, and it may take a few cycles to find the right dose to work for you, most women have luck with 1st lot though.

Being only cd15 it could still be early days you may ovulate later, I know I ovulated on cd 16 2 cycles ago and cd13 this time, it can always vary, Doc's generally won't do anything until you have been ttc on your own for a year unless you are over 30 then it's only about 6months, or less if you have PCOS or some other kind of fertility issue.

You could try and ask your doc to run tests to make sure whether you are ovulating or not. Not sure if they would after ttc for 3 months, but they might, and it can't hurt to ask right? Good Luck

Answer 4

Yes it is very possible like the other girls I to am on clomid TTC #2.

Answer 5

Yes, it's very possible. Sadly doctors thought that I ovulated 4 times a year. So like the other girl they put me on Clomid. I just found I am pregnant.. It supposedly makes your body ovulate.
