How do I find out if I'm annovulatory?

[Just Me]

Are you temping? Annovulatory cycles don't have a rise in temp after ovulation even if all the other signs are there that you ovulated (CM, position of cervix, positive OPK).

Yep, I second Just Me. The other thing that might have happened is that you might have ovulated later in this cycle so for most people the days between period and ovulation can be vary a little, but the luteal phase is usually consistent so you can then work out when your AF is due.

Thanks for you replies everyone

I don't temp or use opk's so I don't have any record of when I O'd by using those methods. I'm not sure how long my Luteal Phase is either...

My Sister has suggested that I think about seeing my doctor or see a gynecologist and have them run some tests for me so I can get an idea on what is happening.

I hope you get some answers. If you have trouble getting in to see them, I would suggest that you start temping now, before you see them. The more info you can give them, the more they will be able to help you.

Easiest and quickest way would be via blood tests, usually on about cycle day 21 to
Confirm if you have ovulated. This confirmed I had annovulatory cycles. I would go
To your GP and ask for some basic testing and/or a referral to an OBS/ Gyno. GL

Gathering some basic information would be useful for your own peace of mind and also to be able to discuss with the doctor. If you are concerned try a cycle or two with some charting using OPKs (can get cheapies off ebay) and temping. The doctor can also run a basic blood test

Thanks for your advice girls So I can understand my body and cycle better I think I will buy some OPKs.

At the moment I'm giving myself until Thursday to get af and if I don't I'll make an appointment to see my doctor and ask him to run whatever tests are available to me.

I do have another question if you don't mind... if I'm annovulatory should I have much CM? What is it usually like when a woman isn't Oing? Sorry if this is TMI but I am checking my CM every few days and it is still thin and wet. There seems to be a fair amount of it too.
