Hello ladies,
Im new here but i want to see if maybe i can get opinions from all you. Im trying to conceive but how do i know if Im ovulating? Dr told me which days i would be ovulating but Im on the first day he told me BUT i tested twice today and according to test it says I dont have LH
Any suggestions?
Drs will go off of a regular 28 day cycle and most women don't exactly fit that model. I say, ignore the doctor because he doesn't know your body. (Seriously, ignore him.)
I would continue to track your ovulation. Keep testing and if you have a load of internet cheapies, you can test twice a day until you get your positive.
If you notice your cervical mucus changing and becoming more watery, that's a good sigh ovulation is approaching. At your most fertile, fight before ov, you should get the egg-white CM. That's a good sign that you need to get your DH in bed and BD. Some women get ovulation pains in the ovary they're ovulating from too. I should say, some women don't get much in the way of CM, but there should still be a noticeable difference when you're in your fertile period.
In general, I would start BDing after AF is gone, every other day, and once you get a positive opk, you can go every day until it goes negative again or keep it at every other day if that works better for you. You'll still catch an egg that way. But, continuing to BD is essential, even if you space it out to every two days. You might ovulate much later than expected, so you don't want to miss your surge.
After ovulation, you might notice that your temperature rises. I like to check with the back of my hand on my back. It feels much warmer after I pop an egg. The temp rise has to continue for three days to confirm ov. I temp though, so I have ovulation confirmed that way.
Anyway, good luck this cycle!! I hope this is it for you! Keep BDing until you get that surge!
