Not ovulating?

[mangosink0]

Hi, I am 35 yrs old and we TTC for 6 mos. I did get pg, but had a m/c in late Nov. I'm on my 3rd cycle, post m/c (if you count the m/c bleeding as the start of the first cycle) and I didn't ovulate this month as shown from a blood progesterone. My cycles have been normal since the m/c, I got my cycle back 25 days later and the next cycles were 25 and 27 days long. I have plenty of EWCM and did this month too, but according to ultrasound and blood progesterone, I didn't ovulate. I'm confused about why I would have the EWCM and regular cycles, but not be ovulating. I had a consult with an RE and they recommended clomid, but I'm wanting to take it slowly and try to figure out why I'm not ovulating. If this is an anovulatory cycle, will it be the typical length?

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Women typically have 1 or 2 wonky cycles a year, this may be yours. If you want to try a more natural way soy isoflavones works the same way clomid does. Here are a few links about soy.

My doc has been telling me that I'm not ovulating also, based on progesterone and luteal phase length. I get positive OPK's and EWCM, thermal shift and everything. This last cycle I started taking Licorice Root from 5-9CD along with B6 and Vitex. Last month my LP was 14 days long (it's usually 9-11 days). The Licorice Root acts as a natural Clomid by working on your adrenal gland and thus shifting your FSH and LH around a bit. You might want to look into using it and see if it does anything for you.
