Question : Hi, I am 43 this year and am wondering if am still ovulating. My periods are regular but the different symptoms of ovulation that I have had all along now seem to be occurring at different times in my cycle. For example, a fall in my temperature, a change in the consistency of my discharge, breast tenderness and fullness and a pain on either side of my stomach area do not happen at the same time. Is is possible to predict still when my ovulation period is or have I stopped ovulating?

Brief Answer:
still ovulating

Detailed Answer:
Hi
GREETINGS
Since your periods are regular you are ovulating regularly.We cannot predict ovulation by the symptoms. Need to do follicular study with ultrasound scan from day 2 of your periods or scan on day 12th and followup.
Hope my answer helps you.
Regards
