Can Late And Irregular Ovulation Cause Problems While Conceiving?
Hi, I have been trying to conceive for just over a year now. I was on the pill from when I was 15, I came off it Jan 2013 (I am 29 years old). I have a 29 day cycle. I started using the clearblue fertility monitor. One month I ovulate mid cycle, the next month is always very irregular. The first time I ovulated around day 17/18 of my cycle and this time the fertility monitor has shown high levels of estrogen from day 12 - till today day 19 and I still haven t peaked and ovulated. Is late ovulation a problem? Is there a way of regulating when I ovulate? Could this be why I am struggling to conceive? Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Hello Mam,
I just read your query.
* See normally ovulation occurs around 14th day of cycle. But it may vary, so women are adviced to conceive between 12-14 days of cycle. But the ovulation period may vary in every woman according to her hormones and cycle.
* As you have mentioned about fertility monitor and you are keeping an eye on ovulation. But let me clear you one thing that along with ovulation, size of egg and rupture of egg is also important. Sometimes size is mildly lesser than the normal size and sometimes egg is normal in size and ovulation occurs but egg did not rupture as a result one will be failed in conceiving.
* So I advice you to start taking Tab. Folic acid(5mg) one tablet once a day. As it will help in proper growth of egg.
*If you still want to give some more try without help of doctor then take this tablet daily for three months and keep on trying.
* Other way is take this tablet and go for ovulation study in a nearby scan center as it will provide you the exact knowledge about your follicle and if somehow follicle does not rupture and you will come to know about this,then you can consult your gynecologist. She will recommend you one injection which help in rupturing and it would be easier for you to get conceived
* Eat healthy and fresh food. Do exercise and walk daily as exercise and walk will help in increased pelvic blood flow as a result better uterus health.
* I know that you are completely concerned about your problem,but still go for general check up of your husband as well as for his semen analysis too.
* All these factors will help you in solving your problem.
* I hope you are satisfied with my answer.
Thank you.
