Am I ovulating at all? Feeling low :(

[Alicia870]

I just wondered if someone would be so kind to give me their thoughts on my situation. Ttc baby number 2.

I came off the pill around February and started tracking my cycle from April. Since then I've had very long and irregular cycles with only 2 bleeds
Cycle 1 - 41 days
Cycle 2 - 60 days

Now the second bleed followed 2 weeks after a very faint line on an frer.
It was a heavy bleed for me- heavier than usual: not sure if it was a chemical pregnancy?

I've been tracking with opks and all negative so far this cycle (day 21). I do have ewcm today. But negative opk.

Just feeling so disheartened. This all seems so confusing and not good in terms of TTC. I conceived first baby with no issues at all. What can I do in this situation? :(

Hi, if I were you I would keep tracking and doing opk tests everyday. If you don't get a positive this cycle then you could go to the doctors with this information, plus the long irregular cycle info and see what they say? Were you regular before going on the pill?

I don't know about a chemical pregnancy, it could have been, did you do anymore tests?

I hope your GP will be supportive x

@Dreamer2019 thank you. My dd is 11 months and I conceived with her the first month coming off the pill. Prior to that I had been on contraception for years so don't know what my cycle was doing.
So I've basically either been on the pill or pregnant - and have no idea what's normal for me.

I did several tests after the faint line (I'll insert the pic just for detail). I know it is very faint but I can still see it. All other tests were negative.
So I don't know if the bleed I had at the start of his 'cycle' was a period or not.
Just super confused and frustrated.
Can't ever imagine getting a positive opk they all just come close but never actually come through. I feel like something might be wrong with me :(

Try not to worry, you conceived really quickly last time and it wasn't that long ago. A friend of mine struggled to conceive and it turned out she ovulated every other month. The doctor gave her some tablets and she conceived a few months after that

Is it possible to ovulate and not have the positive opks?
Mine have all been negative so far, but I had lots of very obvious ewcm for 2 days this week.
Could I have just missed the surge? I've been busy but have tried to test at least once per day but nothing yet though my gut is saying the cm could be a good sign?

You may have a really short surge and haven't caught it on time using OPK. The only way to know that ovulation happened is by taking BBT everyday unless you have really good doctors who will do a blood test which I think they dont normally do unless you have been TTC for a while
