mine are like that to and my doctor told me if you dont have a period you dont ovulate. i know it doesnt help much thats just what I have been told

I had very irregular cycles from the time I started getting my period at around age 11. A few years ago I was diagnosed with PCOS and was TTC. I started to chart my BBT and that helped me see if/when I was ovulating. The thing about ovulation is that it doesn't always occur at the same time. They typically tell you we ovulate around day 14, but it can happen much earlier or much later. There could be a lot of reasons why you aren't having a regular cycle, and I would look more into that before worrying about then to take your ovulation test. Believe me, it is so much easier to TTC when you have a better idea of what's going on!

i think you should change doctors. my first doctor was the same way, and he made me wait and wait, and this new doctor, she is so much more understanding. she was just like 'here ya go!' here's your new prescriptions. its been so much better having a doctor that stopped judging me and just helped me get results. best of luck!

brit im not sure why your doctor told you that because i have researched it before and talked to my doctor and you do ovulat without a period. here is what i was told and also seen in my research. if young girls who havent even started there periods yet have gotten preganate dont you think that would mean they ovulated. which if you think about it, its true. in order to concieve you have to ovulate with our without a period. so i hope that helps.
casey and ayresih i am going to talk to my doctor about pcos and im also going to check with another doctor to cuz three years is a long time with no results and all i want is answers. i have done that bbt charting before i just got so frustrated with it cuz i never seen what i was looking for like my teps changed a little but never understood it im going to do some more research on it and go from there angain.

thankyou to you ladies for your advice xoxo jessica

With irregular cycles its so hard to tell when ovulation will occur. but at the end of ur cycle if u dont have ur period u didnt ovulate. there are kits out there that come with like 30 test and u could start testing everyday (they're like 15 bucks at Walgreens) but ur best bet is to seek out a new dr. and get back on fertility meds.

I agree with some of the other ladies. I have reseached that if you don't have a period you did not ovulate. Your exprerience with charting your BBT would support that theory because you wouldn't see any marked change if you didn't ovulate. You temp would just seem random. You can look up the Fertility Awareness Method online and that really helped me.

Also, a few years ago, I was only have my period every three or four months, and once not for six months. I started seeing a naturopath and with the help of vitamins and minerals, my cycle (within 3 months) moved to a regular 28 day cycle. Naturopaths are expensive if you don't have coverage though.

Anyway, I really hope you get some answers from your doctor. I will be hoping for you.

The two distinctive portions of a womans monthly cycle, ovulating and having a period, are not directly related to one another. While each is distinct, and while one does not generally happen while the other is happening, that is where the relationship ends. It is possible to ovulate without having a period. It is also possible to have a period without ovulating. To understand why this is the case, there are things that you will need to understand about having a period, about when you ovulate, and about your monthly cycle in general.

It is significant to consider the timing of ovulation. Ovulation occurs approximately 14 days prior to the start of the next period. This means, for example, if a woman has a regular 28-day cycle, that she will ovulate on or around day 14 of her cycle. On the other hand, if a woman has a typically longer cycle, say for example a 32-day cycle, then she will ovulate later, in this case on the 18th day of her cycle. While the timing is not exact, and can vary from one woman to the next, or even from one cycle to the next, these are rough averages that you can use to start calculating ovulation in relation to your period.

It often happens that a woman will not have a period for one reason or another. Any number of things can cause a woman not to have a period. For example, low body weight can cause a woman to miss periods. In addition, strenuous exercise has also been shown to cause a woman to not have a period. However, during these times that the woman is not having a period, she may very well still be ovulating. Not ovulating is a completely different situation than not having a period, and can be caused by completely different things.

It is important to note that a woman can still become pregnant during her period. If she has a short cycle, and ovulation occurs near her period, the sperm could in theory live long enough to fertilize an egg, as sperm can live for between 3 and 5 days in a womans body
