It's been awful for us. Day 18 of my cycle and I'm still yet to even ovulate. It sounds a bit dramatic but I'm devastated. Not a flashing smiley in sight and we are exhausted by constantly having to DTD to cover the bases just in case I do ovulate at any point.
I've been tracking for four months previously and I ovulated on day 13 or 14 like clockwork every time. I still have absolutely no symptoms of ovulation at all, and I usually get really sore boobs when I'm ovulating. The two trackers I'm using - Clearblue fertility tracker and Clearblue advanced digital, have given different outcomes, but that's because I had to reset the Clearblue fertility tracker last month as I ran out of tests unexpectedly and it uses the first cycle as a baseline to set up. It gives a 'High LH' reading for a long period.
I first got a 'high' reading on 19th December on that one and we have been DTD almost every single day since. We are exhausted and so disappointed because it's so typical that the one time we need to be able to count on clockwork ovulation it's decided not to bother.
I've run Google dry of all the reasons why it might not happen this month. My cycle has been like clockwork since I had my implant removed two years ago. I have a very good BMI, don't smoke, hardly drink, have a very healthy diet as hubs is a Type 1 diabetic, we gym 2-3 times a week, been taking pre-natal vitamins for four months now, no real stress currently, I don't suffer from PCOS or irregular periods. I just don't know what has caused this.
I didn't expect to be this sad or disappointed, it's only the first cycle, but it doesn't feel like we've got off to a very good start. I can't even join the January thread as I've still not seen AF and don't expect her until probably mid-January now going by how late ovulation is. Sorry to be a downer!
