Is it possible to ovulate twice in one cycle?

Question

in a cycle which varies from 35 - 40 days is it possible to ovulate twice? I have displayed all the symptoms twice in one cycle, and am confused. Dont have enough money to buy OPK tests all the time!

Answer 1

It's not possible to actually ovulate twice, but sometimes your body can gear up to ovulate, and then something (like stress or travel) stops your body from ovulating, so it tries again a few days later. Even if you are using OPKs, you could get a positive and then get another one a few days later because the LH surge occurs but the body doesn't actually release the egg.

I'd recommend buying your OPKs from ebay. There are people on there who sell them on packs of 10 for a few pounds/ dollars. I have used them lots and found them to be really good and actually more sensitive than the expensive shop bought ones.

Answer 2

The only way to know if you're ovulating and when is to chart your morning temperatures (BBTs). Even OPKs can be wrong, as already posted; the body can make LH and then not actually ovulate. Be sure to sign up at http://www.fertilityfriend.com because they'll talk you through the charting process. I'd suggest you also read up on how to identify EWCM. Both methods are free and ultimately, more reliable than OPKs anyway! Good luck :)

Answer 3

im not sure about the ovulating bit, but i have just got a package from ebay, i think it was under fertility/ fertility plan, and it was a pack of 15 ovlating strips and 10 pregnancy testing strips, and with postage and packaging it cost me £4.88 and they came the very next day!!

Answer 6

yes it is.

if you can't afford to by OPK test all the time then how are you going to afford a baby, I'm not trying to be rude but i have a point don't i?

Answer 7

Look on ebay for ovulation tests. I know one seller that sells 10x tests at a starting bid of 99c plus postage. And quite often all i have paid is the starting bid and no more. Plus they work really well - def no false positives with these!

Answer 8

Hi,

It is not possible to ovualate twice in one cycle, you can release 2 eggs during ovulation but not phyiscally ovulate twice.

OPK's can cost very little - you should try them.

Basal Body Thermometers are great for letting you know that you have ovulated but DO NOT give you warning that you are about to - so if you are trying to conceive this is not the best method to use.

Hope this helps
