Strange cycle

jchow009

I usually have a 29 to 31 days cycle and ovulate (temp went up) between day 16 to 18.  Today is my day 20 and my temperature still hasn't gone up.  But I do have all the ovulatoin symptoms, any thought?

If you have been sick or stressed in some way your Ovulation could be delayed.... or you could be having an annovulatory month ( everyone has one now and again).  Keep charting!  Good luck!

Thank you, probably stress, my father in law passed away two weeks ago and it was very hard for teh family.  I have never had an annovulatory month, don't mind my ignorance, does that mean you skip your period?

Annovulatory means that you probably didn't ovulate which can cause you to skip your period.  It gets more common as we get older but stress like that can definitely do that to you too.  Sorry about your loss and hopefully you get back on track soon.

Thank you for the explanation.  We may do a injectable IUI if this cycle fails and I am looking forward to focus on this a bit.  It has been a tough few months.
