Not detecting O and getting pregnant?

Blasianlove · October 2009

I read a lady's blog post from a year back yesterday stating she didn't think she O'd and became pregnant. She was charting but there was no chart to look at. I saw another person's post with a similar story.

Has anyone else experienced this or seen a chart that did not detect O but still became pregnant?

I thought it was interesting.

ETA: I'm thinking that there was no significant temp shift. Not - OPKs or no fertile CM.

I don't know of any, but I'm sure there are. Whether they are just charting incorrectly or their body isn't giving tell-tale signs, you can obviously still ovulate if your chart says you didn't-- charting isn't perfect

I am obviously not pregnant, but I did have a chart a few cycles back where FF said I o'd somewhere between CD6 and CD15 but never gave me CHs so I guess it's possible.

I have a related question that I can't seem to find an answer to. Can your chart show ovulation if you really didn't? I'm trying to figure out how my chart showed ovulation as recently as March or April, and now my RE tells me I have no antral follices (indication of remaining eggs). Hmmm.

Me. I had been charting for months, on clomid for the last 4 cycles with classic temp rise and positive OPK's. The month I got my BFP I never had a temp rise and no positive OPKs. And no fertile CM. BUT. I think the issue was that I didn't temp for long enough, I gave up after CD24 so I truly believe that had I continued temping I would have saw that rise. Even now my temp is higher than it was before I conceived. Hope that helps!
