Anovulatory cycle - Give me the facts

Starfish7

So I googled, but nothing was really what I was looking for. I'm not sure if I o'd this cycle. I know anovulatory is when you dont ovulate, but how do you get AF to come (I know about Provera)? Will AF just come on their own?

Any other info?

Some people just get their period and don't ovulate, others have to use provera to bring on a period.

Give your chart a few more days.  If your temp stays up, you will probably get CH soon.  You may just O late in your cycle.  Last month I didn't O until CD 27.

Well you might have O'd if those last two temps that are open circles end up being accurate.

Sometime AF will just show up in an anovulatory cycle (you don't know when to expect it) and sometimes if you are 60 + days you have to take provera to kick start it.

Just remember that FF is not 100%. Even if you've gotten CH, that does not mean you've ovulated (see my chart).

I agree that late ovulation is certainly possible. I O-ed on cd45 last cycle.

Also agree with pp that AF could come on her own or if you hit 60 days with no AF, you can do Provera.

It is way too early to consider your cycle anovulatory. You might have O'd 2 days ago, depending on what those 2 open circles are for.

If you hit CD60 with no ovulation and no period, call your doctor.

Sit tight a few more days.  You have the potential for confirming O.  Like PP mentioned maybe another high temp or two, FF may likely assign CH's

Thanks ladies. Tomorrow's temp will tell. If it is high, then I will believe that I o'd Thursday/Friday. Time will tell. Ugg, why is TTC so stressful?

TCOYF says that anovulatory cycle shows no thermal shift from a range of lows to a range of highs.  There can be any number of reasons that this happens.  You can experience anovulatory bleeding at the end of the cycle.

If you have not read Take Care of Your Fertility there is a great section about this in the book.  I highly recomend it for not only this but all TTC issues. 

I think you are just Oing late.  Hang in there.

I had three anovulatory cycles in a row, this is the first time FF has given me cross-hairs.  I stopped doing OPK's around this time b/c it was so late in my cycle (potentially o'd on day 21-ish).  Not sure I actually O'd but maybe.  If you look at my charts, my temps in my anovulatory cycles were ALL over the place.

You're on CD22 and you're considering yourself anovulatory?

Patience, grasshopper.

I thought I might be hacing an anovulatory cycle last month, but I finally O'd on CD34.  Have patience, it might still happen!
