Is it possible to have a dominant follicle but not ovulate?

Oh sorry Anney, how rude of me

Thanks for asking

I had the day off having my blood done on Tues (the day after the scan) to give my arms a rest because they were looking pretty bad

and went in and had it done the next day (Wed). Anyway, according to the nurse, my Wed bloods indicated that I was going to ovulate that day. So the surge had probably happened on Tues and we missed it because I had the day off testing! Fortunately though my DH and I got a quickie in on Tuesday night LOL We thought it was best to play it safe because we had no idea what my hormone levels were doing.

So yes the follicle did finally do the right thing on day 17 after all my stressing about it

, and I am now 3 DPO and in the TWW

And I'm using progesterone pessaries for the first time to lengthen my short luteal phase so fingers crossed they work! I am getting a few pg symptoms already - from the pessaries I know - but trying to stay hopeful

Hi ladies,

I just wanted to let you know that we have had no luck this month

Oh well...

We've decided it is time to move on to Clomid + IUI at the recommendation of our FS, so hopefully that will do the trick. Fingers crossed!
