Ovulation delayed....worried

[atomic sagebrush]

I stopped vitex on cycle day 10 this month b/c atomic told me so. So it's been longer than a week off of that.

Yes, but you just stopped the SP, that may help.

Cd 20 today & still no +OPK!!! Have any of you ever had ovulation totally stop from the diet & swaying? This is getting discouraging....

Yes, it's possible and has happened to people. O stopping because of weight loss is temporary and will start back up again when your body gets used to the weight loss.

I stopped my ovulation once when I lost like 40 lbs really fast and not very healthy - it lasted 3 months and then returned to normal again even tho I didn't gain any weight back. If you gain weight back (or at least stop losing) it can come back a lot sooner.

I wouldn't count on just using opks to determine your ovulation. If you can, try to check out the position of your cervix, if it is high and very soft, as if you are touching your lips when they are moist, it might be that you're ovulating. Also double check with your cm. I did not get a positive OPK this month, and I have tried several times for days both with cheap strips and with clearblue digital smiley ones, but nothing, no positive opk. However I think I am ovulating today cause cervix is very soft and high and have a little ewcm. So I bd just the same even without opk positive. Good luck, hope you get ovulation soon! Praying we all get our BFPs this month girls

Holy moly I hope it doesn't stop for a month or two!

I agree with you. Temping would make me swaycess & I just can't risk it. I've had some EWCM stretchy over an inch & clear (sorry I know that is disgusting). So, I'm wondering if the tests are just not picking it up. I won't do temps b/c that will really make me obsess. I'm actually thinking of ditching the OPK tests & just keep BD once a day since I'm underweight. I figure it'll take my mind off of it & if I ovulate there will be sperm there to get preggo. Being underweight I feel would be a huge plus for increasing my pink odds. And maybe not checking my OPK would help me relax more & actually 'O' if I truly haven't & also lower my testosterone.

It's great that you're underweight but you must be careful not to excagerate with diet or you might stop ovulating I'm also temping, but I'll only know if today I had my ovulation tomorrow if I see a temp shift. I hope it was today, but I'm quite convinced it's today. We bd two times today so I think we have a good chance but don't want to keep my hopes too high. And I feel quite relaxed this time, much more than I was last month I think, so that's good for testosterones. The only thing that I'm a bit worried about is that this evening when we dtd, we did it doggy style as hubby couldn't finish (these licorice are working I guess) and doing it doggy style helps him to finish faster. And that sways boy At least he still did shallow penetration when he was coming (sorry for description).

I think diet sways WAY MORE than BD position. I've read successful girl sways where they did doggy style! FX for you! I increased my calories by 200 which will help me hold steady. I want to eat more but if my delayed ovulation is only due to supplements then I'm afraid eating way too much around ovulation/conception will sway blue if I indeed get preggo. I wonder if I should stop the OPK's and just BD & relax?

I've had some EWCM stretchy over an inch & clear (sorry I know that is disgusting). I had to "check" for it, but yesterday mid morning I had a ton come out all at once when I've been dry. It was stretchy but still creamy & then today the EWCM just once this morning. It went away after I took my Zyrtec this morning. So, I'm wondering if the tests are just not picking it up.

I got a girl with doggy style on O day. No swaying, though.
