Why you are ovulating late (or not at all)
You ovulate a little bit later or much later than the
textbook cycle day fourteen. And now you are left wondering why. So shall we
chat about what could be the underlying reasons for.
but she was the last one that i thought kind to make a posts
i will cover the five most common hormonal reasons for ovulating late and one
non horrible, and these are not all the reasons in the world, but they are the
most common, and they.
Will point you to the direction of what's going on for you,
but it is really important to actually interpret your chart properly. Not just
based on ovulation, but also based on temperatures.
and other symptoms that you might be having, so if you're
interested in me interpreting your chart, they make sure to sign up to my
mailing list because i occasionally run lkbly.com daily where I am interpreting
your church.
And especially now that I’m on maternity leave and i have no
more fertility assessments available. sorry, the webinars are the best spot to
sign up to get my eyes on your chart.
And now before we go into the reasons of you ovulating late,
we first need to establish if you are actually ovulating late. so that first of
all means that you should be charged properly.
and not just using ovulation test because that doesn't tell
you when you're ovulating, if you're not one hundred percent sure if you're
charging properly, then make sure to check out the post that I did on the.
Three steps to get started with charting. I will link it in
the cars up here, as well as in the description down below. secondly, ovulating
late is a bit of a broad concept.
cycle day fourteen has been considered the textbook ovulation
day, but if you always ovulate on day fifteen or sixteen, there's not
necessarily a problem.
And if you occasionally ovulate day fifteen. sixteen or even
day seventeen eighteen again, that doesn't necessarily mean that there's a huge
problem. if you, however, always.
most of the time ovulate later than day seventeen, or often
don't ovulate at all. then I think it's important to look at the underlying
reason. and lastly, i need to encourage you if you're ovulating late. that
doesn't mean you cannot fall pregnant.
It just makes it even more important that you actually chart
that you're able to interpret your fertility signs. so you can identify when
your fertile window opens and you can catch a light.
So the first reason that you might be ovulating late is that
you have high testosterone, and the reason for this could be that you are
struggling with pros or that you have hyperthyroidism.
And these are two completely different conditions. but they
both have the result of high testosterone that interferes with ovulation, so
you might not ovulate at all. you may have an adulatory cycles.
or you may be ovulating late if you struggle with high
testosterone, then it is quite unlikely that you will always ovulate on day
nineteen or always ovulate on day twenty.
it is more common for you to have very irregular cycles and
to ovulate at different times, or as i said, some cycles not ovulate at all. if
you already know that you have p c o s. make sure to check the p c o s playlist
that is ever going.
I will link it up here, of course, and in the description,
but if you're not sure if you have pcs, some symptoms of pcos are struggling
with weight gain and also.
excess hair growth symptoms of hyperthyroidism or symptoms of
high metabolism. so you might get hungry very quickly. but lose weight very
quickly.
you might feel hot often, and you might perspire a lot and
you could get quite a bit agitated. and in your chart, you will generally see
high temperatures.
but it is important to get checked out if you suspect that
you either have pcs or hyperthyroidism and not just go based on these symptoms,
but they give you some clues of what might be going on for you.
the second reason that you might be ovulating late is that
f.s.h. might be low. now we always fear f.s.h. being high because it shows that
metabolism imminent, not completely true, but that's a different.
but if f s h is low. we have an issue too, because f.s.h.is
follicle stimulating hormone. and that is what maturity eggs, and as the eggs
mature, estrogen goes up. strogen communicates through our body that the eggs
are ready and that elite should be released so that the eggs can be released.
so what you will often see is if a facade is indeed.
That you will see signs of estrogen being low, and you can
see that in your chart and your fertility signs by not having any cervical
mucus. not having a lot of cervical mucus uh.
or showing up quite late or not getting a ny raw egg white
cervical mucus, if you're wondering what could be causing low f.s.h.is often
because your interior patriotic land is imbalanced.
And that can often be the result of taking contraceptives, so
the hormonal contraceptives, whether that's the coil injection or the pale or
because you've been taking fertility drugs or because you've had labor drugs
in.
and then not so much the episode. but I’m talking about
things that induce labor, so oxytocin, patos and synthesis. however, you wanna
call it wherever you are, the third reason that you could be ovulated late is
that i talked about prolactin in a recent post on vitax, so if you are
interested in that, make sure to click on the lkbly.com the course.
hear a horn description down below, as always. but
protecting, we know as the milk producing hormone, and it has waiver functions.
but the gist of it is if your perlections is high, it suppresses ovulation, and
the reason that production might be high for you could be your breastfeeding.
That could be a reason or you're still breastfeeding a little
bit. another reason could be that you have low dopamine and low dopamine is
often the case when you're just not having enough fun in your life, so hey,
that should be quite.
If that is an issue for you. but i talk about the low
dopamine relationship with hyperlinked in in that vitax post as well. so if
you're interested in that mechanism.
make sure to check out that post or the blog post series that
i did on vitax, which i will link down below as well, and thirdly, is not as
common, but it does happen. and it doesn't have to be something very terrible.
but it's possible that there is a two more pressing on your
interior, patricia gland. and as i said, it can just be benign. it doesn't have
to be something terrible. but if that's the case, that does make your
interpretation three glen produce more collective.
there could be another reason that you're producing too much
prolactin. and that has to do with another hermo, which will cover later on
this post. the fourth reason that you could be ovulating late is because
cortisol is high.
because if your cortisol is high, that means that you're
stressed out, and yes, of course, that could be due to life or because you're
busy or because of relationship issues. financial matters is a big one,
obviously jobs family, but it doesn't always need to be emotional stress. it
can also be physical stressed because it has the same effect on your body.
And examples of physical stress, are you getting sick, so
just a simple cold could even bring up your cortisol, which would explain why
you would ovulate late that cycle. but it could also be that you have an
ongoing inflammation in your body. maybe you have an enthusiasm that you do or don't
know about, or it could be that you're struggling with your sugar balance. so
if you're pre diabetic or you have insulin resistance. then that is an issue
for sure. because if your sugar drops too much, then that is stress for your
body because your body basically thinks you're starving.
So also, when you are crash dieting or if you struggle with
enriched or bolivia. then those are also reasons for your body to be stressed
out, and then as a result, not ovulate at all, or in the best case scenario.
obviously, and the way that this impacts your fertility and
your ovulation is that in order for your body to produce cortisol, it uses
pregnant alone, but pregnant alone is also used to produce estrogen and
progesterone, which.
What you need for ovulation, right? at least the estrogen you
need for ovulation and progesterone is what you produce after ovulation. now if
your body is stressed out and needs to produce. cortisol is going to do that
first.
About the sex hormones, so make sure to get your stress down,
whatever the cause is reason number five for late ovulation could be high t. and
if you have high t.s.h.that says something about your thyroid or your entire
patriarchy, gland and i mentioned the anterior patriarchy gland earlier, when i
talked about in.
now if your interior patriotic glen is a little bit an
overdrive, that could mean that it is producing too much t s h and yelling at
your thyroid to do its job when your thyroid.
however, it's also possible that your thyroid is sluggish and
you struggle with hypothyroidism and you are not producing enough thyroid
hormones, and that is telling your interpreter, glen, to.
keep yelling at your thyroid to do its job, even though it's
not really able to do it, the problem with high t.s.h.in itself is that. that
brings up proactive and.
I mentioned earlier that, that interferes with ovulation, but
generally speaking. hypothyroidism is also an issue for ovulation and for
fertility, because it just means that your.
Isn’t right, and this is often a result of stress as well. so
if you've been living with high quarters of levels for a long period of time,
your thyroid will actually be your friend, and as i always. slam the brakes
make you tired, co
d and grow fat so that maybe he will hibernate and take a
break so that you can restore brain cortisol levels down. and get back to your
non stress itself. however, there are also obviously also immune reasons for
hypothyroidism, so it's always worthwhile to get this checked out. but it's
also good to know if you have symptoms that are of high.
hypothyroidism that is not always a matter of your thyroid is
sick. it could just be a result of long-term stress and that you can take care
of at home yourself. and then there's one last reason reason. number six that i
want.
for late ovulation. and that is. if you are taking anti
inflammatory medication, studies have shown that if you take that definitely
can affect your ovulation.
you may ovulate late or again, not at all, so consider if you
really need to be taking these anti inflammatories, if you're on those and
otherwise discuss it with your doctor, if they have been prescribed rather than
that, they're over the.
and now you know, the most common reasons for late ovulation
or lack of ovulation. and some of them are chronic, but you see that some are
also temporary and can easily be fixed by you. especially one has something to
do with just a temporary.
Or with stress that you can get on top of and if you are not ovulating late, but you're ovulating earlier. you want to know why let me know in the comments that that's the next post you would like to see if you want to learn more about charting and interpreting your.
