anovulatory cycle question

in TTC After a Loss
last cycle, i don't think i ovulated. last cycle was the second time i was using my cbefm and i got 6 highs but no peaks..the first time i used it i got a peak...i have an extremely stressful job and i think it may have something to do with it last cycle, i don't know..all my other previous cycles, i was using first response opk's and i always got a positive...i usually O sometime between CD 19-24..i am on CD 19 today and my cbefm shows a low.  i'm worried that i will not O again.  So here's my question.  At what point should I go to the doctor and follow-up?

    If you usually O between CD 19 and 24, I would probably go in on CD 25-30and ask for a progesterone test.  That way they could see if you actually O'ed.  Your monitor might have missed it this month.  Then again, I am not a monitor user, so I have no clue how they work and how accurate they are.  Good luck!

    sounds like we might? be dealing with a similar situation...

     Here is what I posted about this morning...

    Okay, so it's CD 14 for me and this is my first cycle using a CBEFM monitor.  I have yet to get anything but a low on it.  Started using OPKs also and although I'm getting a line it's certainly no where near dark enough to be near a positive yet.  (I have been getting a +OPK on CD 15 of the past 3 cycles.)  I'm kinda gettig worried....the last two cycles I had +OPKs and O pain, etc...

     Started taking a b complex vitamin this cycle to help with my LP because last month is was only 10 days long...could that have pushed back my O?  I don't know if that can happen or not...Additonally, I am 5'3" and I weigh about 112 as of this morning, maybe I need to gain some weight?

      What do you girls think?  Anyone out there had an anovulatory cycle?  How did you know?  (And no I don't chart yet...)  Haven't done that yet b/c I think it will stress me out more....My CM is watery but not EWCM...

    Any opinions are welcome...(sigh)

    are you also using OPKs now as well too?  what did your dr. say about it the first time you went in and said that you didn't think that you O'd???

    Yes I bought some yesterday to use in addition to my cbefm..i actually didn't go to my dr. the first time i thought i didn't O because i just thought it may have been how stressed i was because of my job..and it was the first time it happened, so didn't think about going to the doctor yet..but i am thinking about going this cycle if it doesn't happen for me.

    yeah i'm thinking mine could be stress related too i think...was getting up at 5:00 am to do some class work for about two weeks in a row this month... guess that could be it...i don't know what to think....

    The way my doctor confirmed I didn't O was by doing a CD21 progesterone test.  It's really easy and your OB should be able to do that for you.  GL!
