Did I ovulate?
I am very confused as to what is happening with my LH levels and BBT.
I started trying/tracking in March and the first 2 cycles were pretty straightforward. LH positive/peak followed by a clear shift in BBT the next morning.
This cycle has been weird.
First, I had some luteal phase symptoms (e.g. bloating) in my follicular phase.
Second, my LH spiked several times, but never reached a positive and is now down. I tested at least 3 times a day the last week or so, which means I am unlikely to have missed my peak (this is unless I peaked at night).
Third, BBT has been on the low side. It is slightly up today but last night was very warm, so that might have affected things (it is going to be very hot the next few days too, so I am not sure how reliable it will be going forward)
Fourth, EWCM comes and goes whereas previously it never fluctuated like that (I had continuous days of EWCM).
Chat GPT says I probably ovulated yesterday.
My cycle lasts about 30-34 days most months with occasional 29 and 35-36 days (if travelling far away, it can be 40+ sometimes, but I am not travelling currently). Luteal phase is 14 days. So it could be the case that ovulation is still coming?…
Maybe this is an anovulatory cycle? I always have 7 days of periods (1-2 days heavy, 1-2 days medium and light/spotting for the remaining days). Can you have periods like that if you don’t ovulate sometimes?
PS: the orange line is LH tests and the blue BBT
