Not ovulated after 6 cycles?

So I'm 36 years young and we decided to start ttc but I haven't ovulated at all for 6 months! I have done ovulation tests at different times of the day, I have taken temp everyday, one month we dtd every night for nearly 3 weeks...still keeps it exciting though and at caring times in the day.

I know it's definately not PCOS as a couple of months ago I had to go into hospital with suspected appendicitis. It turned out it wasn't that so had a scan on my ovaries etc and she said that everything was perfect.

What do u guys think? I only joined this site yesterday so hoping I can gets some advise, is it time go the docs and what else can I do to make ovulation happen if anything? (I'm pretty regular too, every 27-28 day cycle. Been using my own calendar for 3 months then started using ovia app).

TIA!!! Xxx

I've used clear blue, some Amazon ones and some others from Home bargains. One month I did the Amazon ones every day for the full cycle after my AF. All I have ever got is an evaporation line and nothing stronger ever. I already have 1 daughter who is 10 but desperate for another.

So if I'm missing my LH surge, should I be doing a test a few times a day..i genuinely don't think I can keep holding in my pee to keep doing that! Confused

I to take temp but it only fluctuates by .03 was the most so did a test and still nothing. The highest I get my temp is just before AF. Xxx

Have you been tracking bbt? Some people never get positive opks... have you tried a different brand of opk?

While not impossible that you aren’t ovulating, no positive opk is not definitive. Regular cycles could mean either as well. It is more statistically likely that you are ovulating, just perhaps missing your surge or just not getting positive opks.

Because you’re over 35, NICE guidelines say to see your gp after 6 months ttc and they can run day 21 blood tests to check for ovulation.

Which days of the month do you use the ovulation tests? I ovulate really late on in my cycle and didn’t realise until about 6 month in of ttc. You should go to your gp and get some expert advice.
