Where do I start?

Question

I don't think I am ovulating. My cycles are all over 35 days and inconsistent. I went to the obgyn and she found no reason for it ( normal hormone levels, no signs of PCOS) which must mean I just don't ovulate on my own and if I do it's not regular. My husband and I would like to start a family in the next year, but with this new information I am already pretty sad because I am assuming it will probably be difficult to get pregnant. 
Where should I start? How do I start tracking? What do you all do?

Answer

I would start tracking your bbt first. This will confirm if you are ovulating or not. I would also monitor your cervical fluids and watch for EWCM (when it gets stretchy and clear). When you have a general idea of when you are ovulating, I would add opks. Ovulation tests are good at letting you know that ovulation might occur in a day or two. Your bbt will confirm it with a sustained temp jump. 
I had long cycles, and it’s frustrating to test with opks for weeks on end, because the ovulation is late or irregular. That’s why I recommend having an idea when it happens, so you can narrow down your window. 
If push comes to shove, ask for a referral to a fertility specialist. They can help boost your ovulation or shorten the time it takes to get there. I was ovulating on cd39. My doc prescribed letrozole and then I ovulated and conceived on cd21.
