What are the signs you are not ovulating?
If the pregnancy test is positive, you aren’t going to ovulate again for a while.
I’m not pregnant. I’m wondering what another sign is that I’m not ovulating.
If you aren’t having your period and the pregnancy test is negative, you probably are
not ovulating.
Why wouldn’t I ovulate?
If you’re on a very extreme diet or under high stress, your period may stop. The body
says if I am hardly able to provide for myself, don’t ovulate and risk making a baby.
I need a more certain sign.
If your period stops, you are not ovulating, though you wouldn’t know until you got pregnant
when it did resume.
Pity there isn’t a test to find out when that would be.
You can buy ovulation tests in three, five and ten packs. Take the ovulation test each
day and you’ll see when you’re ovulating.
And if I’m not?
Talk to your doctor. There could be a hormonal problem, like PCOS.
I’ve heard about that making ovulation irregular, but the body more than makes up for it by
releasing multiple eggs, so you have trouble getting pregnant but have twins when you do.
You can’t diagnose PCOS at home, but your doctor could. A sonogram would help.
That’s a fair sign that you’re pregnant, if they see the baby.
And if they see cysts on the ovary, you have a fair sign that’s the reason you aren’t
ovulating.
What’s another sign?
You have receipts for an implant a year or two ago, or you’ve had a birth control shot
in the past few months.
Because those contraception methods suppress ovulation.
That’s pretty much their point.
What else would let me know if I’m not ovulating, if I’m not taking those shots?
There are people who study cervical mucus and look for changes related to the hormonal
phases like when you are ovulating.
OK, I’m going to the doctor.
