If you have a period every month?
if you have a period every month on the same date every month without fail does that mean that your ovulating? or could there still be probs with ovulation if though your periods are fine? iam 27 trying for a baby and i have fibroids my periods are fine but nothing is happening even though we have sex at the right times when iam supposed to be ovulating
Answers:
Many women who have an irregular period aren't ovulating. There are a number of ways that you can determine if you are ovulating or not.
The first and easiest way is to get a blood test from your doctor.
You can also buy an at home ovulation predictor kit, although these aren't always 100% accurate.
You can also chart your body basal temperature. On the day of ovulation, and every day after that until the beginning of your next cycle, your temperature is one degree higher than normal. It is recommended that you take your temperature before you get out of bed in the morning, and at the same time as movement affects the reading.
You can also examine the position of your cervix. When you are ovulating, your cervix is low and soft like the inside of your cheek. At all other times, your cervix is high and hard like the tip of your nose.
When you are ovulating, you may feel slight twinges around your ovaries
When you are ovulating, you may notice a difference in your cervical mucus. It should be clear and sticky, and you may be able to spread as much as 5cm string between your thumb and your forefinger. Gross, I know! It needs to be sticky to draw the sperm.
I'm going to include the link to a trying to conceive forum that I think you might find helpful. It's full of supportive women with boundless information about these issues. I learnt so much there that I doubt I would have learnt otherwise.
that is supposed to mean that your ovulating, but the best thing you can do is to go to your doctor and ask some questions.
My best advice would be for BOTH of you to speak with your doctor, there may be another reason why you aren't getting pregnant.
My brother and his wife are also having difficulties getting pregnant, she thought it was because of her age, it turns out that my brother has sperm with low motility.
Your period doesn't necessarily mean you ovulated. You can buy ovulation kits from the drugstore that check for ovulation much the same as pregnancy tests check for pregnancy.
impossible.
try forgetting about trying? Relax and go with the flow? My mother tried for 7 years- then adopted my brother- less than 12 mths later she got pregnant and had me.
please stop stressing
yes you are but you would be best going to your doctor
Many women do not ovulate every month and will still experience a period. Most women ovulate every couple of months and while its true that some will ovulate monthly, others may ovulate once in a blue moon! Women will ovulate at different times, some a few days before their period etc.
There are many over the counter ovulation detection kits available from the pharmacy (if you live in the UK, Boots have a good selection). These generally rely on a mentrual cycle of between 25 and 31 days.
Also, the Persona device (typically used for contraception) can also tell you when you are ovulating and is probably more cost effective in the long run. I actually used this device to protect from unwanted pregnancies and then I used it in reverse to conceive.
You can also use a Basel Thermometer as your basel temperature will rise when you are ovulating, you should be able to pick this up in most pharamacies.
If you are concerned, talk to your doctor about referring you to a fertility specialist and also discuss your fibroids to find out if they will be a complication while trying to conceive. Also remember, on average it can take a couple up to 1 year to conceive.
Try to relax, eat a healthy diet, take up gentle exercise if not already and if you're overweight they try to lose weight as being overweight can also impede your efforts.
Best of luck for the future.
as far as I am aware it is really hard to get pregnant with fibroids. Go see your doctor. Remember its not all about getting preganant. Enjoy the making of the baby and you'll probably get pregnant in no time at all. Stress can actually prevent preganancy aswell.
both yyou and your partner go to a family planning clinic and both of you can get tested.
they also can tell you the best time in the month to try and when you will be most fertile

Can I have a period and still not have ovulated?
Having a period does not necessarily mean that ovulation has taken place. Some women may have what is called an anovulatory cycle, (meaning no ovulation) and can experience some bleeding which is mistaken for a period, but it is actually not a true period. This bleeding is caused by either a buildup in the uterine lining that can no longer sustain itself or by an estrogen level drop. The main way to decipher if ovulation is in fact taking place is by tracking the body temperature.
could this be implantation?
