Anovulatory cycle?

[achi]

So last month was a CP and this month seems to be anovulatory. My body has been trying to ovulate and I've been getting positive OPKs and watery/EW cervical mucus for over a week now. I had my normal O pains last week but my temps aren't rising. They'll go up a bit, but then drop right back down a couple of days later. I use Wondfo OPKs and have never had positives this long so I used a FR OPK this morning as well which normally sucks for me (have traditionally barely gotten a positive with FR) and it was massively positive within the allowed time period. 

I've always been regular and since I started temping in February of 2013 (for TTA purposes) I've maybe had 1 or 2 cycles where I didn't get the crosshairs. I KNOW it's completely normal to have anovularoty cycles every now and again and anything could be game after a CP but I need other people to remind me that this is normal.

I went to the doctors last week to talk about the CP and she reminded me that it's normal, and that because my cycles and charts have always been normal I should be a-ok. I'm still a relatively new patient (switched to her last year) and she likes to get a baseline on all her patients so she did but agree to do some blood work and is testing my FSH, LH, progesterone levels and thyroid hormones.

I don't temp and didn't do opks the cycle after my last cp but I could swear I didn't ovulate that cycle. This is tmi but I was extremely dry my entire cycle which is very rare for me. I know that doesn't necessarily mean I didn't ovulate but I just felt like that was why.

That's awesome your doc is going to do some testing.

Lol, I don't think anything on this board is TMI. I was feeling kind of dry until the last week but now it's kind of ridiculous so much CM there is. I did take a HPT just to rule it out and it was as negative as negative can be.

I am happy that my doctor is going to do some testing, but it's more about being a new patient and getting a baseline then it is about fertility testing. But it still will help to put my mind at ease. Onto the next cycle I guess.

My first cycle after my first loss was anovulatory. I needed progesterone to jump start my cycle after 65 days.

I hope your body just decides to end this cycle soon if you are not going to ovulate.

Well I'm glad to hear others have had similar experiences. I have the requisition for the blood work but I don't want to go have it done until this cycle ends. If my hormones are out of whack this cycle (which it seems like they are) then I'd feel more comfortable with the numbers as "baselines" if they're taken during a normal cycle.

I'm CD20 right now, and I've never gone longer than 33 days so another two weeks at the most and I should be CD1 again. I have never wanted to get my period so badly before. I knew TTC was going to be a mindfuck but I never thought it would be this bad. My doctors advice was to relax and just "enjoy this time in our lives" and to go on with life as normal and not think about it too much.. HA! Like that's even remotely possible.

I also had an anovulatory cycle after my first CP. After 70+ days I was given provera to help jump start it.

I finally tested OPK negative today, and my CM is much more creamy than watery today so it seems like things are ramping down in that department. My temp jumped .3 of a degree this morning so maybe I ovulated yesterday, or maybe my body has given up on this cycle. The next couple of days will be interesting for sure.

[achi]

Update for those of you who have been commenting (or creeping ) my temp rose again today and my CM has dried up so it seems like maybe I did ovulate, just really late. Or my body just gave up and the temp has gone up. I still don't have crosshairs on FF but I need one more day of steady rising to see that and even then I'm not sure I will believe it that I actually ovulated this month.

I think I'm having a anovulatory cycle too... or I'm just going to O really late... Or for some reason my temp just didn't spike like it normally does.

Fingers crossed you get your crosshairs.

Thanks! My temp basically stayed the same today as it was yesterday so still not high enough to confirm O. I did get dotted CH on FF this morning for 6 days ago which makes absolutely no sense at all so I think FF is confused this month too. Oh well, onto Cycle 4!
