Trying to Get Pregnant

Intro & Quesion

Hello ladies! My name is Brooke and my husband and I are going to start TTC in a few months. We are working on figuring out my cycle before we really try since I have been on BC since college. While I have been charting on a calendar, I realized I am a late ovulator.  I have heard this makes it more difficult to get pregnant.  I have googled, but haven't found any good resources.  Is anyone experiencing the same thing that can lead me in the right direction? Thank you!

  • How late are you talking?  I generally ovulate on CD 19 or 20, which is later than average.  My RE did say that this could be due to "mild ovarian dysfunction," but she was not particularly concerned about this.  After 6 IUIs I am not pregnant, but I'm using frozen donor sperm which has a lower success rate, AND I know that at least two of the vials I used had low motile counts, AND sometimes it just take a while.  So it's hard to say whether my lack of success thus far has anything to do with my ovaries.

    I agree with PPs that you should try charting with FF, but unless it's really late in your cycle, I wouldn't worry about late ovulation until/unless you have been TTC for a year without success.

  • Welcome! Like the others said, I'd definitely recommend signing up for Fertility Friend. It's super user friendly and the tutorials are great and informative. While you maybe be O'ing late, if you can at least pinpoint your typical O day, it can hopefully help you pinpoint when is a good time to BD. Good luck!
