How do I find out if I'm annovulatory?

[starz01]

Hey all,

I was due for af 6 days ago but so far I haven't had any signs of it. I have taken 2 pg tests (first was 2 days late and the second was 5 days late) and both were negative.

I've always been regular with af even after stopping the pill with the exception of an early m/c but my cycles following this were what I would call regular (34 and 35 days). I've never been late before and after reading up on other women's questions on here about ovulating I wondered whether maybe I am having an annovulatory cycle?

So how do I go about finding out if I am annovulatory and how long should I be waiting before I find out? Is 6 days late too soon to start worrying?

Im not sure.. my cycles are all over the place but hopefully someone can offer you some helpful advice

I'd think a blood test would be the only accurate way of being sure. But whether that would determine whether you ovulated now, or whether it would have to be your next cycle I'm not sure.
I'm on my first cycle of clomid, and had a BT test today (day 21) to see if I ovulated.

Seems a little funny though that your AF hasn't been late before and now it is. My cycles have generally always been a little whacky and long, so it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for me to be annovulatory iykwim. As for whether or not to worry ... I think it never hurts to see your GP if you're concerned.

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.
