Ovulation ?

Is it common to ovulate at different time each cycle? Like the first month I charted, I O'ed CD 15, the second month CD 27...this is the third month and at CD19 I am still waiting to O. Is it just because this is only month 3 off of BCP or is it common to O at different times each cycle?

It's common to fluctuate a few days but I suspect you will get more regular the longer you are off BC. I did not get regular for a full year after I stopped BC... GL!

It is most likely b/c you are still regulating after b/c......My o date varies about 3 days normally but I do know that your body can be whacked for a bit after birth control.,....However since you are ovulating thats a great sign even if its all over the place

Some people really vary on O date. You are Oing so that is good! It does make it more challenging getting pregnant. You might consider adding OPKs to the mix.

So far I O between cd9-cd18. It is frustrating, u just have to bd like every other day. Good Luck! OPK's would help....because once u get a + then u know u will O 24-72 hours.

It's common for many women to ovulate at different times during their cycles - especially if stress or illness delays things. And it's ESPECIALLY common to ovulate irregularly while coming off of a hormonal contraceptive. If you were regular before using the pill, it can take anywhere from 3 - 18 months for your cycles to normalize again afterwards. Hang in there!

Thanks ladies! Yeah, it's been frustrating not knowing when I'm going to O because we ended up missing our window last month with such a late O. I was using OPK's, but after I used a whole box of like 20 I gave up, lol. This month, I am using the monitor and so far 5 high days, but DH and I have been sick so no BD'ing. Hopefully tomorrow we'll get back to it
