Why you are ovulating late (or not at all) | Viewer's question!

So you have started charting, or have been for a while. But now you have come to the conclusion that you ovulate late or have anovulatory cycles.
In this video I cover the 5 most common hormonal reasons + 1 non hormonal for late ovulation or not ovulating at all. To know exactly what is going on, and knowing why you have irregular periods, interpreting your chart is very important, together with other symptoms you may have. However, this video will definitely give you a clue as to what may be going on for you and why you are ovulating late in your cycle.

[@dianaadziovski1655]

@@wendybrown2189 hi, the tests indicate when you're about to ovulate. When the test line is darker than the control line, that's the strongest surge detected, which means ovulation will happen 12-24 hrs after. LH is the hormone that releases the egg for ovulation so using OPK's, tells you when you're about to ovulate.Hope this helps?

[@Howcanimakethiseasier]

Hi Fleur! I'm so glad you posted this video. I need to start temping - I've only been doing the LH tests. When I was super stressed, I'd get my surges really early - around day 10! After managing my stress, I averaged day 15/16 for the surge, but now I'm getting the surge as late as day 18! Over the past year, I've noticed quite a range - earliest happened on day 13, latest on day 19! The earliest surges happened when me and my husband went on vacation, and then when I was on an antibiotic for a sinus infection - maybe I ovulated at a normal time both instances because I was more relaxed/being treated for sickness and getting better?! I do struggle with anxiety and grief although I'm getting help and trying to improve in managing better despite it all. Is the huge variance in ovulating (if I am, I will start temping to confirm) indicative of a hormonal problem or probably just stress? My period comes about every 30 days. I'm very curious to see if my temperatures correlate with the surges! Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!

[@alracm2]

After more than a year of tracking my periods, seeking medical advice, having hormone tests done and properly starting to chart my temperature, I've noticed a pattern that I only ovulate every second month. My temps, tests and anecdotal notes point to an issue with my left ovary or fallopian tube (pain in the left ovary region, intermittent bleeding etc.) I was wondering if you've done a video on blocked fallopian tubes? Or, if you could explain some of the alternative or natural options available prior to seeking more invasive/investigative medical treatments? Thanks for sharing your fertility knowledge!

How do you keep making videos that are exactly what I need!? Haha! I’ve been charting the last two months since my miscarriage in March, and I’m noticing that while I do get a high temp spike indicating ovulation, my temps don’t stay high. they just start stair stepping down and they fall, and my luteal phase is only 10 days. I work nights (I was the one you answered in your video about working night shift!) so I’m sure my hormones are all out of balance :( I also suspect high prolactin because I never dried up, even though I haven’t nursed my son in over a year. I get insomnia at 3-4am, am very angry and irritable, no libido at all, and hardly any egg white CM. It’s a mess 😫

[@eurocareivfcentercyprus5694]

The ovaries may not release an egg during a particular month because there’s an inadequate level of certain hormones or due to an underlying medical condition. A lack of ovulation is called anovulation. Anovulatory cycles do not always mean that you’re approaching menopause. Occasional anovulation may also be found in young women in their 20s. Sometimes there are no signs you haven’t ovulated - or symptoms may be misleading (e.g. heavy bleeding due to progesterone insufficiency, a common symptom of anovulation). However, warning signs indicating an ovulatory problem may include: Irregular or absent menstrual cycles Shorter (35 days) Extremely light spotting or abnormal blood flow A drop and subsequent rise in body temperature around day 10-16 of your cycle Additional anovulation symptoms could be: Lack of fertile cervical mucus Low levels of progesterone Unreceptive uterus Sometimes, there may be a rise in your luteinizing hormone (LH), a hormone that stimulates the release of a mature egg from the ovary at ovulation, but ovulation may still not occur. If you notice any changes in your cycle or you experience any of the above-mentioned symptoms, talk to a gynaecologist or fertility doctor. They will arrange a few diagnostic tests to get a clear picture of your medical situation. These may include: Hormone blood test (progesterone, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone, oestradiol, anti-mullerian hormone) Antibodies blood test Ultrasound test Treatments for anovulatory cycles may include: Ovulation induction using fertility drugs, like: Clomiphene citrate Letrozole Gonadotropins Metformin Other medicines may also be used to normalise certain hormones. Surgery to correct certain conditions or obstructions of the reproductive system, such as: Ovarian drilling (PCOS) Bariatric surgery (severe obesity) IVF If the above treatments are not effective, the euroCARE IVF specialist will recommend an assisted reproductive procedure like in-vitro fertilisation (IVF). This treatment allows you to fertilise your (or your donor’s) eggs outside the body, thus completely eliminates the need for ovulation. Late ovulation is when your ovary releases an egg after day 21 of your menstrual cycle. If you have a 28-day cycle, you will likely ovulate 14 days after the first day of your last period, although the timing can vary. If your cycles last 35 days or longer, you probably ovulate at day 21 or later. Most women who have longer cycles also have irregular cycles, and they also may not ovulate at every cycle. Some people with late ovulation may have heavy bleeding during their period. Late ovulation can occur in almost any woman occasionally. Infrequent late ovulation is not typically a cause for concern. However, you should see a doctor if: Your cycles are shorter than 21 days apart or longer than 35 days apart Your period stops for 90 days or more Your periods suddenly become irregular You have heavy bleeding (you’re soaking through a tampon or pad every hour or so, for several hours) You have severe or abnormal pain during your period You’re unable to conceive after some time If you have an underlying condition like PCOS or hypothyroidism, treating it can help regulate ovulation. If no cause can be determined and you want to become pregnant, your doctor may prescribe medications that help regulate ovulation. They may include: Clomiphene Letrozole Human chorionic gonadotropins Additional tips to improve your menstrual and reproductive health include: Eating a healthy, balanced diet Getting regular exercise (in moderation!) Reducing stress (e.g. acupuncture, yoga, meditation) Quitting smoking Avoiding alcohol

[@alhumairaR]

@Hasslee Nunes i asked a gynae and the respon was it is not necessarily for everybody to have that mucus to show that you are ovulating. It can be other signs as well. Use OPK to know better when you are approaching ovulation and later after a week see a doctor to test your blood to know whether or not you ovulated based on the progesterone level in the blood. Hope this would help you:)

So I'm feeling very disappointed this month. I tend to wake up between 4-5am to nip to the loo, and my wake up time is 7am. Sometimes I go back to sleep straight away, sometimes not. I've been taking temps at both times but they're very different. Eg this morning 36.22 at 04:40 and 36.61 at 07:00. So this could really change my chart depending on what temp I put down. Its cycle 13 for me now. What happens with people waking up during the night when it's not a guaranteed wake up time? As I know you're meant to have at least 3 hours before temping. Hope you're enjoying maternity leave x

I’ve never been on any type of medical drugs nor even birth control after I turned 17 years old. I always believe that it’s important to be natural and eat healthy food and not allow medication control your health system. - My period started late when I was 14 years old (close to 15) And when I turned 16 I missed my period for the whole year (12 months) my mom took me to a doctor and they told me I needed to loose weight and be on birth control. I successfully lost a lot of weight by exercising and eating healthy but months later on I realised that birth control was increasing my weight again so fast so I stopped taking it and my weight went back to normal. The problem is I always had irregular period, they are heavy and last 5 or sometimes 7 to 9 days. But I still refused to be in birth control and it was causing me a lot of stress. Since a very young age I knew I would probably have to deal and face infertility st some point in my life (it was my worse nightmare) i guess it’s just in my DNA, no matter how hard I try to be healthy or be on BC... My family members can easily conceive without extra work, even my younger sister who is overweight could get pregnant in a matter of few months after she got married... today I am 31, married and struggling with infertility (my worse nightmare came truth as I knew when I was a teenager). There are things in life that you can’t always control. I’ve been diagnosed with Periodontal diseases in my early 20s and also doctor found 2 small Fibroids in my uterus but she said it’s harmless. The problem now is I don’t ovulate every month and my period is very irregular. What is causing it’s unknown but I guess my husband and I will keep trying to have a baby in the natural way and way for the miracle baby to come some day. I am also a believer, and I think that not every person in this world is called to be a mother. I just wish I didn’t have this strong desire 😞

Add new water and drink it on an empty stomach first thing in the morning. Then go to prepare breakfast. ● Exercise but not too much. ● Avoid processed food. Eat whole foods. ● Daily consume 2 tsp of roasted flaxseed powder for that much needed omega 3. To make it more palatable, powder it along with raw garlic, cumin, rock salt, salt n pepper. Try it.

Dear Fertility Homeopath, I will be 42 in a couple of months, and I would really love to have another child. I am nursing my 10 month old, and my full cycle has never come back until my baby is at least 20 months old, and then it takes a little time to conceive (that would put me at having a baby at 44 or so). I know my time is running out here because of my age. I don't have the heart to wean my child in order to conceive, since I want to give my baby all she needs. Would taking Vitex help suppress prolactin and enable my cycle to come back a little earlier, even when I am nursing, perhaps? Any other advice for how to help my cycle return? Thank you so much for your videos! I love the cross you wear on your neck! Also, my Dad and Mom are Dutch and my dad immigrated from the Netherlands. Thank you for your positive attitude~ Dag!

Hello, I have regular cycles and ovulate on day 21 every cycle. We have been TTC for 7 months now and prior to this I was in birth control since the birth of my son. I don’t think I have PCOS or thyroid issues... is there anyway to help bring my ovulation forward?

[@elena1992gz2007]

I realized that my cycle length is around 30-33 days and my ovulation days are around 17-20. Everything else is ok. I'm having my period every month. I don't have Pcos, hypothyroidism but I dont know about testosterone. I'm in Ttc 4 and still waiting. Any advice? When should I test for pregnancy in dpo?

[@karaokeprincess2326]

Thank u for ur videos!!! I ovulated the day b4 my period and never have realized that happening before.... i think it was due to stress. I knew from the discharge and was confused... ur videos are awesome!! Thank u!!!!

[@nurulnadzirah1570]

Is anti inflammatory medication includes Omega-3? I also take Avamys Fluticasone Furote (Nasal Spray Suspension) to ease the inflammation caused by allergy. Does it has any relation to what causing my cycle short and probably didn't ovulate at all? Hope to get a response from you soon. :'(

[@lil-mumma-adventures4780]

Thank you for the video :D

[@lindsayschenker1172]

Helpful video! Is it possible for you to talk about iron deficiency and anovulation? I'm struggling to ovulate, but all my tests came back normal, with the exception of borderline anemia.

[@angeladkhar9270]

Ingelfluer can you please explain a little about my situayion--My temperature this cycle is very low i.e below 97.6 to 96.2, and I feel hot most of the time and I think I ovulate earlier

[@cybiltipton7979]

I normally ovulate regularly cd 13-15 but this cycle is off. I can’t tell that I ovulated at all so I quit taking my temp because it was stressing me. I may have my thyroid checked to see if it’s hypo. I think it was just stress from work the last week.

[@adirafearsjesus7778]

Are you okay

[@cybiltipton7979]

Yes! I am ok! Thank you!!

[@jessburr1985]

Thank you Fleur for another informative video. You talk about low FSH how about low LH and stopping you from ovulating is that even a thing? I generally ovulate early around 11-13. However, since I’ve been TTC the past year I’ve noticed I’m getting more off cycles where my chart looks anovulatory. I’m 33 so not that old but do have low AMH of 5.11pmol. My question is this on the cycles i don’t seem to ovulate I get suboptimal LH surges, it’s like the double lines come quick and go quick a fast surge and never actually get that blazing line you would expect to see. I get all other good signs of ovulation my temp dips, ECWM it seems like I get suboptimal surges is there any further testing I could Ask my doctor about re Suboptimal LH Surges causing anovulation please? It would be so helpful to get a better idea as my doctor is starting me on clomid next month. I’m happy to be starting medication but I see it as treating the problem and not the root cause as why I’m not ovulating. Apart from low AMH all my work ups have been normal.

[@DivijaReddy_V]

Hi, I am also experiencing same issue. It seems I am not ovulating looking at my lh tests. My fsh value is 4.5 on day 9. Do you have any idea of fsh is low and can you please tell me how did you resolve your anovulation

[@sizningginekolog]

Hi dr Ingefleur could you explain the relationship with hyperthiroidizm and high testesteron please because i reseach and didint find patogenetic relashinship

[@amysaripada1795]

Hello, i just want yo ask why i am ovulating so eraly sometimes cycle 10 and 11. Thank you.

[@patricemarie]

I’m here with 8days if dark positive opks. With my first one at cd10 with ovulation spotting cd11 or 12. I chart and all!

[@ncp3077]

Can you discuss how to avoid stretch marks and hair shedding?]

[@MegaBella2013]

All you mentioned is covering the most issues, however, None of these you mentioned is low or high in me but I ovulate late or not at all. Nothing docs could find and they say getting pregnant is a number game. Still not sure why I don’t ovulate or do late.

[@marydanielle7183]

I used to have a very regular cycle... until i decided to get on birth control for 8 years.. Now i can't predict my cycle at all, its very irregular

[@dianaotto8949]

I had a blinking smileys for 7 days and the finally a solid smiley on February 27th (CD 21) but my LH strips were low but then March 9th-11th my LH strips were blazing positive (CDs 31-33) . Normally have cycles 33-35 days. Which do I trust?? 😔😔

[@randomevie]

So If I ovulate CD 22 with a CD42.... is that good? :/ I sometimes have 35-38 day cycles..... but have positive OPKs CD 21-22

[@MegaBella2013]

Yes the ov. Tests strips are horrible! Charting is hard for me :( i dont have any of those you mentioned but i dont ovulate or do late or sometimes on cd17, this is very confusing

[@christinebeharry7084]

Hi fluer been a subscriber since 2018 love ur channel i have a question do ovulation stick or strip work?

[@FertilityHomeopath]

Yep the cheap strips are my favorite. Thanks for watching lovely!

[@Ivonnecbm]

Is it possible to have ovulated on day 20th? My last period was on the Dec 5th and I was with my husband on the Dec 25th? It is possible to get pregnant on those dates? By the way I just had a baby boy in September

[@thomsonclan5878]

Both my boys from clomid cycles were day 19 ovulation previous due to Pcos I wasn’t ovulating.. The last 3 cycles my opks have been positive day 21 and I had had periods have been day 34.. I’m hoping it means this cycle will be 34 as well because I’ve never had regular periods, I quit my job in October so less stress, and have started eating healthier, my fingers are crossed for a natural baby (I know I ovulated on day 19 with both boys due to having scans and blood tests to confirm ovulation)

[@janelle3034]

As others mentioned, what about early ovulation? It seems like late ovulation is more common. I've just started (admittedly lazily) charting but I have short 24-26 day cycles and so far it seems I ovulate around day 8, not even a full week after period. My cycles were a full week longer before quitting smoking. This is another thing that I can find zero info on, that I would love to hear you talk about... Or anyone talk about. Obviously smoking harms fertility, but just like stopping birth control takes a bit to bounce back, does quitting smoking mess with your hormones? Maybe it's just coincidence, age, irreversible damage in my case. 🙁

[@jodiahrankin16]

Hey, did you get any information on this ?

[@holliehilton3224]

Hi! Can you tell me what, if any, tips you have for someone who was given a salpingectomy without permission? I immediately went in to perimenopause at age 36, and am now 40 and cannot have a cycle. I was told removing just one tube can “blow the whole circuit” on a woman’s reproductive cycle, which is what I believe has happened. Wrinkles, hot flashes, insomnia, moodiness-are all I know now. Thanks for any info!

[@joannamarieenverga5053]

Hi. My last period was 23rd August and it's now 5th week and a day from my first day of period. 31 days cycle I'm delayed 5 days but ultrasound doesn't see gestational sac yet. Just thickened endometrium 15mm but my PT is still negative. So it may be that it's not yet my 5th week because my ovulation is late.

[@amandacrigler8503]

Can you do a video on primary ovarian insufficiency please? :)

[@Ayesha-kw7ed]

Thanks 👍

[@easyrecipes3232]

Nice sharing stay connected

[@Angel-ok5lo]

Thanks for ur lecture, but what is the cure for late or not ovulation? What can someone take to rebalance it?

[@aireengracet.6311]

hi .. i just want to ask if you are for flu vaccination during pregnancy.. i hope you will make a video too about this issue.. thank you

[@sarahcooley6938]

Hopefully you can shed some light so I stop freaking out. I was drinking some herb mixture in my first 2 weeks of cylce that I planned on stopping once I ovulated. However I find that I didnt ovulate and saw hibiscus can cause that. I have stopped it but will I go back to normal next month or am I going be a mess for a couple months?

[@heidyriossosa6796]

When is the best time to take your basal temperature ? And best time to take ovulation test?

[@nameless6821]

You should measure your temperature right after waking up before standing up. And I take my ovulation tests in the afternoon and don’t drink two hours before that. The package says you shouldn’t do it with the first pee of the day but that’s my test. Read what’s on yours.

[@bhavinshethia6125]

[@k.b.8994]

I am a healthcare worker and I work on different shifts within the same month and even week. I imagine charting data will be skewed for me.... any advice?

Can you do a video on Prolactin?! My levels are 12.4 and I want to know what this means!

[@londonchandler18]

I think as long as below the high 20s you are ok. Mine are in the 60s and i have tender breast and need a mri on my head to make sure no tumor on my pitutary gland

Can i eat vitamin C during my TTC?

[@weekendnomad5038]

I’m trying to figure out if I ovulate late . I’ve been believing I was infertile for years but now some recent events are making me question this

[@giselephysicist]

Such an awesome video! I (used to) ovulate at day 17+-1. But also my cycle was 30 days instead of 28. Does it make "less late"? At the same time I think I do have some hypothyroidism cause my low temperature was a bit lower than 36C and I struggle a lot to not gain too much weight. Now I am 6 months pregnant, but could anything be done naturally in this time period?

[@tinanicolemosqueda2005]

Help. I have no idea what my body is doing? Is there a place to email you personally.

[@AprilT72]

Thank you so much for this video. It's very informative, a better explanation than I have ever gotten from a Dr. I am now on cycle day 73 I spotted for a week a almost a month ago. I keep getting bfns, currently waiting for blood test results.

[@meganrussell3134]

Would you ever do a video on Soy Isoflavones? I’ve read it works like a natural Clomid for women with PCOS!

[@CrystalM1917]

I got pregnant 8 years ago with my first born son the first month I took soy. I took it from days cd 3-7. I still have it written down on my chart from that month in my FF acct after I had been trying 7 months. I haven't taken again bc it supposedly increases your chances of having a boy and i already have two lovely sons now and would love a daughter last.

[@aureliemarteau9]

And what about ovulating late and short luteal phase? I noticed that my cycles are a bit irregular (varies between 26-34 days) but my luteal phase seems to turn around 10-11 days, what does it mean?? Can I still get pregnant naturally?

[@meenakshi4796]

I m 31 years old, I Always had kinda irregular cycle 28-34 days, but since past one year i m having 42 days cycle. I have pcod and thyroid symptoms as mentioned in the video but my reports are always normal.. What should I do in order to conceive?

[@livinglifewithlaura2256]

Also, I’m on a 35 day cycle.. and I’ve always ovulated the week right after my period. I’ve gotten pregnant twice the next day after my period ended.

[@quinntoyajackson]

Living life With Laura so does it mean you have a irregular cycle because if you does my body like this and I’ve been trying for over 2 years but my doctor said I was good

[@quinntoyajackson]

I never conceive

[@patricemarie]

My current and last cycle is like this. Last cycle 35 days caught positive opks week after period. I’m still getting positives this month.

[@evelinakanerva8051]

If you have low FSH, how can you increase it? (Other ways then detoxing the pill, as this is something I have already done even if I never taken the pill 😅)
