there are lots of reasons that you might not ov. health, diet, past history of birth control. Some are simple and some are more complicanted. It could be that one ovary produces eggs the other one doesn't. most people have a domiment side that they ovulate from. so if the "bad side" is the dominate side then it can months to ovulate. ( I am not in any way shape or form suggesting that is what is going on with you, just saying there is reasons for random ov.)

I ovulate on the right 90% of the time, it funny when its the left, I notice more b/c its something different.

you will probably have to break down and go see your doctor to some more formal testing to see if you are having a regular cycle, and if you will need help or not. GOOD LUCK! and have fun with the trial runs!

I feel your pain! Hubby and I have been trying since December with no luck yet. I caved this past weekend and bought the test strips. I also started charting my basal temperature this month as well (Although, I bought a special "basal" thermometer at Walgreens for $10 - clearly, I overpaid!). I guess we'll see if that improves our luck!

My biggest problem has actually been getting my husband home on the key days of the month! Being married to Pilots, how did you all manage that?

Piper- go buy your stuff on eBay- it soooo much cheaper than a store!

I just bought 6 of the Clear Blue Easy digital pregnancy tests for $15!

I wonder if that's why when you are taking certain meds it makes bc less effective?
