If Im Not Ovulating, Would I Still Have Normal Periods? Posted: 05-17-05 09:26am
I'm 30 years old and have had 3 children
by c section, almost 3 years ago I had a
miscarraige. Since then we havent been
using any form of contraception but there
are no signs of me getting pregnant..I
went to my doctor and because I have
gained alot of weight over the past 3
years she just looked at me and said that
I wasnt ovulating...Can this be right?
..I have fairly regular periods that are
heavy for 2 days and light for one...Any
advice wud be much appreciated
thanks netts xcx

I am not a health professional but I think
she should do some tests. I am not
ovulating and my periods aren't regular.
I can sometimes be 2 weeks to two months
late. My doctor is going to check my
hormones to see what is causing this. But
when I do get my periods they are medium
to heavy and last 6 days. I would say you
have some hormones that are off and maybe
the doctor should check this out.
Good luck :d

Hello netts, my heart goes out to you for
I am in the same position. I also do not
believe that I ovulate. I am overweight
and I always have been but when I got
married I lost around 50 pounds and within
a year, I nearly gained it all back plus I
went off birth control. For about 4 years
I had very irregular periods, I would got
several months without a period and then
have one for a month. But last year I
decided to lose weight and I started
working out again. I have lost about 40
pounds and my periods are regualar every
month and sound much like yours. I bleed
heavy for about 2 days and then light for
1 and then is over. So I was ready about
this problem and I did read that if your
periods are too short, like ours could be
considered, then you might not ovulate
every month. So I bought an ovulation
monitor to track my ovulation, well I used
it for 3 months and every single month is
showed that I did not ovulate. So right
now I am in the process of going to the
doctor. Even my husband is having his
sperm count tested to ensure that he is
okay because I have not been on birth
control for over 6 years. I know that it
is a long haul but atleast you know that
you can have children and you have 3
beautiful children. Hope that this helps.
I think your doctor should runs some test
and possible but you on ovulation
medication. That could help. If you want
to try a cheaper way, I have heard good
things about fertility blend and ovulex.
You might want to give them a try. If
your doctor doesn't want to help you then
try
another doctor.

Hypothyroidism Posted: 06-28-05 01:28am
Sounds like hypothyroidism... You should
look up all the gazzillion symptoms
online, see if it fits the bill
(everything from unusual wt gain(like
gaining w/out eating more or changing
anything), to heavy periods, intolerance
to cold, loseing hair, low limbido,
excessive fatigue, ... There are like 30)
and it's almost impossible to get preg
while hypo. It's the thyroid not
producing enough of something that
converts food into energy, and it effects
almsot your whole body- growth hormones,
sex hormones, all hormones... It's pretty
horrible to have it out of whack. It can
be like you're a different person.
Good luck! Hope that helps, I recommend
you at least look into it online

I'm 31 and am overweight and trying to
have a baby as well. Aug was the first
month we started trying, but I got my
period about 5 days earlier than expected.
I haven't tried the ov pred kits, but I
always have cramping and other pms signs
around the mid of my cycle. And the
discharge is a little diff. I am using
the Dr. Jonas method (i have 2 girls and
would like to have a boy), so using that
method, I don't need to know my exact
ovulation. I am going to get a test now
though, just to make sure I am ovulating.
My per are normal, every 30 days and last
about 4-5 days. I usually spot for 1/2 a
day or so, and was told to count that as
the day I start my period. I hope you
keep us posted, I will keep you posted
too. Good luck! :)
