Is it possible to just not ovulate one month??

[hopefully2021]

Hi all
Bit of background, my cycles are usually like clockwork - 30/31 days, my last period was 4th August so currently 2 weeks late, done countless tests all completely negative so definitely not pregnant! I took evening primrose oil first 2 weeks of my cycle, 3000mg a day - could this have just stopped ovulation completely in the month?

It is certainly possible to miss a month due to stress, or a bereavement, or illness. I don't see that EPO would stop ovulation though? Maybe someone will be along to say it can.

@hopefully2021 EPO can definitely affect the cycle by messing with hormones. Omega 3 is a safer bet if you were using EPO for EWCM?

@Stabal thank you, yes was using it for CM - safe to say I won't be anymore! I was thinking of getting some Omega 3 once my period finally comes
Have you used EPO in the past?xx

@hopefully2021 I have but for helping with pms and it delayed my cycle by a month. If you ask around here other women will tell you they've had the same problem. It all depends on your current hormonal profile, it can delay or give you bleeding. Omega 3 is good to use the whole way through your cycle and is less likely to play around with your estrogen levels 🤞

@Stabal - thanks for your advice it has really helped! so did you skip a period & then resume your normal cycle the following month?xx

@hopefully2021 yeah my period came nearly dead on a month after it was supposed to. However I still wasn't ovulating but I have PCOS so I can't entirely blame it on the EPO! Hopefully you'll see a bleed soon and can get back on track 😊 x

I had an issue with my period being delayed! I've also read a lot of women during lockdown have had their periods delayed for no reason! I'm guessing due to stress etc

My period went from a 35 day cycle that was like clockwork to a random 66 days, 47 day and then 28 days! On the last cycle I took Conceive Plus Ovulation Support and on day 14 I ovulated!

I was always quote irregular anyway but didn't ovulate in our first month of trying and ended up only having a 19 day cycle. Next cycle I was convinced nothing would happen again and ended up pregnant!
Good luck OP xx

Glad I found this post. I took EPO for EWCM and usually have my peak today.

CBFM - still high
CBD - low not even flashing like usual
Easy@home - last box I bought had some dud sticks in but not showing high either.
Ava bracelet - temp not rising

Gutted as first month have taken EPO and I think it's mucked up cycle

@whatever1980 mine was defo the EPO, I think I took too much - I ended up being 3 weeks late then went straight back to my normal
30 day cycles!

Thanks @hopefully2021

Things were going so well in terms of getting clockwork cycles and I've thrown a spammer in the works now - I should've stuck with preseed. I'm 40 this month so was my ideally my last month to try.

I'm gutted.

fingers crossed @whatever1980, you are probably just ovulating later like I did xx

Evening primrose oil dud push my ovulation back, I tried the max dose. So I dropped down to 1000mg and stop taking it when I get a positive opk. Not had any issues since and I'm back to my usual ovulation day now.

Keep dtd @whatever1980 hopefully you're just delayed a bit this month 🤞

Thanks @VenusStarr much appreciated.

I've been taking soy to bring ovulation forward (between July and Sept I got no peak and stopped testing CD19 probably too early) and it did and then I've taken EPO which has bloody pushed it back - couldn't make it up.

Thanks everyone

@whatever1980 I’m currently going through the same thing!

I started taking EPO this month and my ovulation is already 1 day late! Did you end up ovulating at all / was it just delayed?

Thanks 💖

Hi @Aleo9977 sorry to hear that - my ovulation was just delayed. As soon as I finished taking it (day I expected to ovulate) I peaked! So got ewcm which was great but messed with ovulation so binned it. Good luck!
