Hello Girls, hopefully someone can help me.

I'm wondering if I am even Oing. I recently read that if your periods are irregular you may not be. Ever since I stopped BC they have been so screwed up. Any where from 29-39 days. Two months in a row they were clock work. Now this month I am on day 37. I'm not feeling any signs of AF only small sharp pains in my left side that only last a second. What could that be? My breasts have just now became sore, in previous months it was 2 weeks before AF. I recently bought some OPK that I was going to use this cycle, but I havent been able to yet. (hopefully I won't) But if I'm not O'ing I would like this taken care of ASAP. Can anyone shed some light? Should I make an appt w/ my OBGYN?

Thanks a Bunch
Michelle

Hi Michelle

I'm no expert but i'd wait and see what happens, in the unfortunate event that af does come, check your opk's and see what day you should start testing for such a long cycle, it may be necessary to use more than the ususal 5 or 6 tests. The doc could though check your ov by blood tests, but i don't know how long you need to ttc over there for tests to start. Have you been checking the ewcm, if it's stretchy at all, check the ovulation checker dates on the jm board, it should be able to tell you when you should ov by the length of your cycle. I thought i hadn't ov this month but was informed by the doctor i had, i began taking evening primrose oil to think out my ewcm, think i may have thinned it too much and that's why i didn't notice ov. Sorry i'm not very good with factual advice.

Pauline.

Thanks for you help Pauline. My CM is sometimes stretchy but usually never when I think I should be ovulating. I guess I'll just wait and see what this cycle brings me, and then go from here. If AF does show up I'll use the OPK tests everyday after until I O.LOL

It does sound as though you did ov then, just stay positive, and keep on bding,
