Thank you so much for your videos! I've always though that the day of ovulation was the day the temperature went up, and so I've been aiming for just the day before or the day that happens, which is probably too late to catch the egg since the temperature rises about 3 days post ovulation. So grateful that you shared that, thanks!

Egg white mucous. I wasn’t imbalanced in hormones through college (18-22 yrs old) didn’t have and signs of ovulation and I was on BC lo loestrin fe, for 6 yrs. After my two little ones, ages 7 and 4; periods aren’t painful, light flows, and regular cycle when I’m NOT stressed out 😂 I consistently have white egg like discharge now around ovulation . Then day 6 it’s watery and isn’t slimy like egg. I also get pure nausea and ovulation cramps, that feel like a snap of rubber and in my uterus 😮

I'm a little confused about BBT tracking. Are you saying your temperature doesn't rise until 3 days after you ovulated? From what I thought I understood, you can confirm that you ovulated if your chart shows 3 consecutive days of sustained temperature rise, but that you actually ovulated the day before the temperature shift. Or do you ovulate 3 days before the first temp rise? Thanks for all your great content!

I used to always feel when I ovulated. But for my last two periods I haven’t felt that pain on either sides like usual. I also usually have intense period cramps as well. My last period was very easy. Like I still had cramps but they weren’t noticeable at all. My periods still come on time like usual tho. Is that bad? I know cycles tend to change month to month but is this something I should be concerned about?

@@rachelsleppy I'm definitely not the right person to ask, but I just listened to a podcast today that said a regular period is one that comes within a few days of when you expect it to, and has regular flow (if it's super light you may not be shedding your lining correctly, and super heavy could mean other issues). And it sounds like there's a range of what's normal in terms of the days between when it comes, but again I really have no idea.

Hello, i would have a couple of questions for future videos, if your educational vocation continues 😅 (thank you so so much). How does a hormonal iud (levonorgestrel) impact the regularity and effcacy of ovulation and overall cycle? E.g.: • does the mucus still cycle the same way if you have a iud? • can a iud explain irregular-ish cycles? In my case length varies 5-10 days from month to month, but it's always 25-37 days long, and i don't know if this was the case before i started with iuds? If these variations are not caused by iud, are they worrisome? Thank you again x

I'm really feeling lost. I've been trying for over 8 months, I can predict my periods with high accuracy. maybe 1 to max 2 days off. periods last on average 5-6 days. I've never taken birth control and I am 30 yrs old. I am slightly overweight but I am making changes to eat well and work out. When I take Ovulation strips I do see higher levels of LH but I don't know if there's a high enough spike. Is it likely my estrogen levels are causing the issues? Cervical Mucus seems quite normal as well.

We start off with millions of eggs and as we age it goes down by quite a bit but we still have hundreds of thousands. I wouldn't worry so much about number; it's all about the quality.

Is there a way to know if the dominant follicle that burst actually had a mature egg in it, or if it was empty? I use the home kit and also had my ovulations confirmed with ultrasoung many times. So I know I ovulate regularly. My doctor said that the follicle might be empty though and that could be one reason for not getting pregnant.

Did you learn any more about this? I am experiencing the same thing! I’m getting the LH surge and have confirmed ovulation, but I’ve been infertile for years… wondering if you learned any more insight!

I understand many other factors are needed more than just ovulating. If you ovulate, great start, but I would check other things too. That month the egg, the endometrium and other hormones must be on point.

@@mariana88881 the only thing they can’t test is the egg itself (because we’re not doing IVF yet), but everything else seems to be totally normal, hormones, endometrium, etc.

I have PCOS and my cycle is irregular and longer than 40 days , but 14-15 days before my period I have cervical mucus and pain. Does it mean that I ovulate even if I have irregular cycles? Thank you for your content 😊

I had my labs done and my doctor said that my levels were a little low and that the month that they took my blood it appears that I didn't ovulate that month which I was concerned cause I'm regular.

Im 32, and my periods are not regular at all. I'm now in day 51 in my cycle, and my period hasn't appeared. My last cycle lasted 46 days. Could i be pregnant or is this another late period?

Thank you for this! I’ve been to my doctor 3 times this year for multiple concerns. I was told if I get a period that means I ovulated but my cycles are between 29-53 days and heavy clots. Thyroid test came back a 3.5 but I was told that is “fine” for trying to get pregnant. Something feels off though. Should I get a second opinion?

I spent 13 years being dismissed by both my obgyn and my gp, yes - get a second and third opinion. The quality of your life could be impacted and you don't even know it, but to mention years and years of your fertile window will deplete. I'm now just starting with a fertility clinic at 34.5 to see what's going on... SMH. But yes, please get other opinions.

I’m confused. I have been using the LH OPK strips that come in a box the Easy Home brand (popular on Amazon). LH line has gradually gotten darker and the app tells me the results are high. The line is dark almost matching the other line. I’ve had cervical mucus for a week now. I have some pain in left side (typical mid-cycle pain) but I took the Clear Blue digital test and got no smiley face and the result showed low fertility. My fertility Dr said this test is more accurate. But why would I have two tests showing two different things? I’m feeling discouraged. I had a miscarriage in November and didn’t get my first period back until last month. I thought I was very fertile from all the cervical mucus and increase in libido during that time, had inter course that entire week but no pregnancy. I’m almost 40. Feeling the pressure.

I don't like clearblue ovulation tests because you can't see good the lines and you don't know the peak, you can get a smiley and have it high for example.

I can pin point my cycle and use to pin point and know when I ovulated. TMI but discharge was a big one. Copious amount of egg white discharge at ovulation. That discharge has decreased the pass couple years. I still have the discharge at ovulation but it’s minimal. Could this be the issue I’m having with conceiving a second baby. We have been trying for almost a year. So we will be seeking help the beginning of the year. I am 33 and conceived my first child on the first attempt. So I was spoiled with no wait.
