If your body gears up for ovulation then decides not to release the egg due to stress or illness, does your body have to start from scratch before you could ovulate again or could it happen right away? Anyone happen to know?
The reason I'm asking is that I've was totally ready to ovulate last month, huge pimple on chin, faint opks started, temp dip. However, on cd 19, the day before I usually ovulate, I started feeling sick (sore throat, cough, etc) and had a VERY stressfull day (bought a car, drama at work). I didn't ovulate. I know because I temp and because I get very obvious ov pains. Last month, I was also set to ovulate when our dog died very traumatically (totally stressed on cd 19-21 that month). I ovulated 20 days late last month (on cd 40). I usually ovulate on cd 20 so I figured my body must have just kind of reset to cd1 when my first ovulation attempt failed or stopped. Is this what happens?
So, now I'm just curious if I could possibly ovulate right away, or if the body will likely start from the beginning and take it's usual 20 days to get ready again. Does anyone have any similar experiences or know the answer? I just hate spending every day wondering if I might ovulate (especially if it absolutely won't happen until later) and using up loads of opks.
I'll be seeing a fertility specialist in a few weeks, but am just trying to get some peace of mind now.
Thanks for any info!!
