I am 46 and took my 1st ovulation test in Oct and Nov and can’t wait to do DEC. Not married or TTC but my dream still is to have a child. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have a question that could inform a future video: can PCOS be a spectrum? My symptoms and lab results look like I am somwhere between having PCOS and being normal, or a low level of PCOS. My periods are what you would call "irregularly regular". Am I still ovulating? I feel like I am? If I am not ovulating, how would I be getting my period, or how common are seemingly regular-ish anovulatory periods?

@user-np6jq2fc1s 7 месяцев назад

Girl same! I have irregular periods and polycystic ovaries but barely enough to qualify and no hormonal imbalance that anyone can find nor the PCOS signs like overweight, diabetes, hair loss, facial hair, acne etc. My A1C is actually exceptional lol. I ovulate sometimes! You should use an OPK kit. One doctor says I have it, one doesn’t. I would love her to answer us lol

@arajetsymartinez7069 6 месяцев назад

So with pcos you could have full on periods but not be actually ovulating. I started trying for my 4th this year at age 29 and when I started bam my period missed for a month then came back then missed again. My dr did labs and i was 2 numbers down from normal and had an ultra sound that verified i have pcos. They werent many cyst but she started me on metformin and letrozole. I am on my 3rd month, the first month i ovulated cycle day 8 the month after on cycle 13 and confirmed ovulation with Proov. This time cycle day 14. Maybe metformin would bring your cycles to normal? Also your hubby getting a sperm analysis would be crucial! Good Luck!!!

Hi, can you get the egg white discharge a few days before ovulation? I use the Clearblue LH & Estrogen ovulation test and I am currently testing high with egg white discharge. Thank you

@danielleconstantine3210 7 месяцев назад

I have been trying for 5 years with my husband. We have done 2 IUI, months of femara, gonadotropins, etc. With no luck. Finally found out I was subclinically hypothyroid. On levothyroxine now for 2 months, but have noticed my periods which were regular are a bit allover the place now. Will that eventually settle out?

@phoebenguyen-wo8bo 7 месяцев назад

Hi! Does having egg white CM indicates a better egg for that month ? I had one blighted ovum and remembered that I didn’t have any egg white cervical mucus that month.

@kristieharris1265 7 месяцев назад

Hello 👋 If you are undergoing IVF or ART’s do all the follicles that release a mature egg become a Corpus Lutetium or just the largest? Thank you

@MilesfromIndia 6 месяцев назад

Do you have to ovulate independently in order to Ovulate as needed with IVF?

@kasp8932 5 месяцев назад

Hello 👋 This month I got a positive opk on a Sunday at 3pm and I didn't have a temperature rise until Friday. Is it true that it takes 1-3 from that point and then it can also take another day or 2 to see the rise? Seems like a long gap from the actual positive opk to ovulate and get the temp rise. Thank you!

@christinalee3047 6 месяцев назад

Q1: How long do you ovulate after seeing EWCM? Q2: Can you see EWCM the day after you ovulated and what does that mean when you see it again the day after you have ovulated?

@Erica0008 5 месяцев назад

If you have a regular cycle around 28-29 days, is it possible to ovulate earlier than day 14-15?

@oliviademers17 7 месяцев назад

You said BBT can be affected by low ovarian reserve, can you explain that further?

@ElderandOakFarm 7 месяцев назад

Have you ever heard of someone going through ovulation induction (femera) experiencing round ligament pain, SACROILIAC (SI) JOINT PAIN, symphysis pubis after ovulation, but before implantation?!? I feel its way too early for implantation to have occured & be experiencing pregnancy symptoms, but i had this EXACT pain with my first pregnancy. (But not until I read around 5 weeks) I am currently cycle day 21 & I believe I ovulated on cd 18 (based on symptoms & opk) I am so confused because I have never heard about anyone experiencing this pain unless theyre pregnant... but i dont wajt to soend the mext 7-10 days thinking I maybe ovulated early, & an embryo has implanted, & I am pregnant, if its just the hormones... I'm currently waiting for my doctor to return my phone call but it's been a couple days, & I can't stop thinking about it, so I thought I'd try to ask you or amyone else in the comments if theyve heard of it... Also, I am on cd 23 if you count the 2 days of spotting...? 🤔

@jessicagiacometti9012 7 месяцев назад

Could small traces of blood mixed with the mucus indicate ovulation? Or is already too late?

@sabrinawhitfield433 7 месяцев назад

Got clamps put on my tubes but am having complications and false positive pregnancy tests. Want to have another baby but I have ambetter health insurance. Can I still have another baby or no?

@rosamoreno4794 5 месяцев назад

You killed on Huberman.

@GabrielaPepe-nm6wg 7 месяцев назад

My obgyn said if taking opk tests once you get the peak it’s almost “too late” because the egg only lives about 6 hours, so she said you want to do the deed before that rise. Is this true ?

@anitajuhasz8606 7 месяцев назад

I have recently read about sperm having to go through a process called capacitation inside the female reproductive system that takes on average 10-11 hours. Also, my personal experience is that ovulation doesn't always happen the day after the LH peak, I feel ovulation pain every month and about 1 out of 4 times it happens on peak day in the evening but that might just be me. My LH starts rising the day before ov, so I am trying to schedule the deed to day -2 and ov day. I hope this helps you, good luck! 🥰

@charityduplechan9346 7 месяцев назад

I have a question. I got off the pill back in November and I think I already ovulated last week. My question is, why does the white, creamy/sticky/lotiony discharge keep coming out?

@Jonsie1515 7 месяцев назад

Same!! It’s almost paste-y right? I went off in November also and ovulated day 16 but this month still waiting. But the white discharge makes me wonder too…

@Chicagorose18 Месяц назад

Hello Doc, I’m 41 and not a mother yet .I have my periods regularly but I don’t see the clear egg white discharge . My doubt is do I still have eggs and am I ovulating

@rosamoreno4794 5 месяцев назад

For some odd reason I have had a positive ovulation test for 6 days straight now. I do t believe that is correct. I am 46.5 yrs old, was on BC pills for 27.5 yrs, stopped in Jan 2024 and I have been ovulating on the 14th day after bleed day 1. I track but still get so confused.

@mariana88881 5 месяцев назад

I heard in another video she said it’s only important the first positive result and afterwards it’s not recommended to repeat the test. The first positive it’s your ovulation day and you have 24 hours to have intercourse.
