I came off the pill in January. After charting and temping for months I've realised I'm ovulating late in cycle from cd 24-28. Then I have a shorter luteal phase of about 10-11 days.
Everything I read on the net says that if ovulation holds off past 14 days the egg starts to decrease in quality, but is still fine up to cd20. Past that it is unlikely to achieve a succesful pregnancy due to quality of egg and womb lining is old and starting to break down as egg implanting.
I started taking Holland and Barrett Agnus Castus this month. It's quite a high dose so was hoping for earlier ovulation especially after reading stories on here about how they noticed much earlier ovulation after just one cycle. I'm on cd16 now and my cycle hasn't changed one bit from normal. I know that I'm not going to ovulate until after cd20.
It's horrible knowing you are classed as 'infertile' before you even try to conceive. Has anyone got any words of wisdom or suggestions on anything I can do to ovulate earlier?
Thanks
