[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your cycles are that irregular I would look into Clomid and/or see a reproductive endocrinologist.

Also, you should definitely start tracking using ovulation predictors, if you haven't already. I too have irregular cycles and for me, symptoms for a delayed ovulation (like 2-3 weeks delayed) mirror those of bad PMS or early pregnancy. Very frustrating. But OPKs and temping will tell the truth![/quote]

Op here- do you think those symptoms could have been a late ovulation? That would have been really late if it was happening around cycle day 50...[/quote]

It's hard to say but the body is crazy, and the only way to know for sure is to temp. Have you read Taking Charge of Your Fertility? If not, get it from the library or order it off Amazon tonight. It explains how to chart so you know what's going on, and how to pinpoint problems that show up in charting.

The latest I have ever ovulated was day 35, and I got pregnant and miscarried. I was eventually diagnosed with various issues, including thyroid, and the RE thought the issues were contributing to late ovulation and related poor egg quality causing multiple miscarriages.

In your case, given that you've had vitamin D and thryoid issues in the past and now apparently have wildly irregular and possibly anovulatory cycles, you should see an RE. It's not true that they won't see you because you are young. You should be ovulating and have reasonably regular cycles regardless of age, and you don't -- that indicates a problem. Insurance may not cover it, but if your issue is something simple like not ovulating, that can be fixed with Clomid or Femara for not very much money. The testing will be expensive if insurance doesn't cover it, however. It's possible your OB can do this testing and prescribe drugs to make you ovulate, too, and perhaps that would be covered. However, if it's anything more complicated than just not ovulating, your OB won't be able to help much. It's a start though. [/quote]
