My neighbor bought me my very first ovulation predictor kit a couple months ago. The first cycle trying to figure out the whole ovulation thing I went through about 15 of them and nothing. Is it weird if someone asks me what I want for my birthday to say ovulation predictor kits please? I don't know when I ovulate, or even IF I ovulate. Apparently some people do it like clockwork, others not so much.
What I have learned though is that when you DO ovulate, your egg only lives for about 24 hours. And frozen sperm, once thawed, only lives for about 24 hours. So the magic can only happen if those 24 hours are in perfect sync with each other.
So I've had some blood work, ultrasounds, and a test to see if my fallopian tubes are open. I now have pictures of my uterus and a patient portal to log into to track the newest results of my lab work. But ovulation remains a mystery. Next doctor's appt. is August 3rd and hopefully he'll be able to put these pieces together and come up with a plan for me.
