Can you have a regular period and not ovulate

A

Hey I’m 26 and I’ve been Ttc for the last 3 months my period comes every month. This month I decided to purchase opk to try and really narrow down the days of when to really try !

I have a couple apps that track my period but they tend to give me different ovulation and period dates. 2 apps say ovulation was yesterday , 2 say today, 1 says tomorrow and 2 says Sunday ( 🤦🏾‍♀️ I know I have 7 ) I took the first 2 yesterday and 1 this morning ( I realized I should start taking them later )

My concern is that by Sunday ( the last apps ovulation date) that it won’t be dark enough. Is the timing of when you take the test really important ? And is it possible that I don’t ovulate ? I don’t have pcos however I am overweight I weight288 n I’m 5’7. My doctors have told me to start trying so that’s what I’ve been doing.

Any insight, reassurance, experiences and all that is greatly appreciated. 🤦🏾‍♀️ I know my journey is not as long as most but I really want to be have a child .

I’ve also recently taking a pregnancy test and it was negative. My first day of my last period was April 26-30. And since May 1st we’ve just been going at it.

It is possible - i have read temping is actually more accurate than the OPKs. Start using the OPKs at day 7.Also remember, it takes a healthy couple up to 12months to conceive. I conceived the 6month, and we had intercourse roughly every 2 or 3days until my period was expected.Sometimes it just takes time.

You're supposed to test twice a day. Mid morning, not first mornings urine, and evening, 5-6pm. The results will fluctuate. Do not trust the suggested ovulation date that these apps give you. Trust the results of your ovulation tests. Be sure you're putting the results from your opk's into the app so it can become more accurate for you. Here are my opk's for reference.

It is possible. I use to not believe it was but I tested every two hours everyday and had blood work. I did not ovulate but periods were normal. My body tried and failed. Best thing you can do is go to the ob and do test. Wishing you luck!

A recommendation because OPKs can get so expensive... buy a pack on amazon! You can 100 for like $20. Good luck!
