Anyone?

You can have a period and still not ovulate im not sure how common it is though

Ok! So, you don't have to ovulate in order to have a period. Having a period is your body's biological way of showing that pregnancy has not occurred. Question though...If you haven't been keeping up with ovulation or taking opks, then how do you know if you do or do not ovulate?

If you have regular cycles, odds are you are regularly ovulating. It is very common to have cycles where you don't ovulate, however. You may be a little late or you may have a "weird" period that month. But for the most part, if you have a regular cycle then you are probably ovulating. You can always use opk & temp if you want to confirm.

You can bbt chart, check cm, I personally use opks because i have crazy irregular cycles and I also get ovulation pain those are the only ways I know im sure there is other ways to tell I just dont know them

I did use opks last month and have yet to get a positive one this month. Thanks for your answers girls.

Also, you can't totally rely on opk. The month I conceived my 2nd daughter, I never got a +. Obviously, I ovulated, but for whatever reason I didn't pick it up. So, make sure you're having regular sex regardless.

And that is the exact reason I usually don't use opks. We baby dance frequently just because you never know. And I don't wanna waste tons of money on opks. I don't think they are that reliable, for me anyway. And that's why I asked this question, because I got to thinking even though my cycle is regular, maybe I'm not ovulating because I'm not getting a bfp, even tho its only been four months since my m/c. It took a year to get a bfp for that pregnancy, but a year and a half for my first pregnancy which also ended in mc. I took a year break in between the two. Thank you Eag.
