Ovulation Question

ga_girl · Nov 14th, 2008, 17:18 PM

A WHILE back, my doctor told me that if I wasn't ovulating, then my periods would become shorter and farther apart. Is this true? Does anyone have experience with no OV and periods becoming lighter, shorter, or farther apart? I stopped having EWCM at the same time as I started TTC. (Rotten luck). But before that I could always tell when I was OVing, I always had plenty of EWCM and mild cramping. I also have random sharp pains in my lower stomach(no STD's--I checked) was wondering if it could be ENDO, but I don't really know the symptoms. I'm just looking for first hand information...Thanks

In a word, No. It's actually more likely that your cycles would be longer and heavier if you don't ovulate because the correct sequence of events hasn't happened to induce menstruation. On the other hand, plenty of women have cycles that appear no different, but they didn't ovulate. I'm not surprised he told you a load of rubbish, I was told for 2 years that because my cycles were longer than 35 days I wasn't ovulating. I don't know where they get their stuff from.

I didnt have a clue when I was ovulating so I got some extra sensitive ov test strips and they were great! Id give them a try, then you can keep a record each mnth.
Good luck
