question/concerns

I’ve post a handful of times before and was told I was likely annovulatory. For those of you who don’t remember me, or need a refresher, my chart is HERE. In the last week or so I’ve had some issues getting sufficient rest or remembering to take my temp due to stress and not being home and worry over the fact that my husband is dealing with kidney stones, so I suppose I could have O’d but my concern is this:

I am 22 years old. How long can I go without ovulating before it becomes alarming and my fertility is called into question? I’ve always been told that the rule of thumb for women over thirty is always a year, but, I’m not thirty. I’m still closer to my adolescent years than my thirties. I have endometriosis and during my teen years suffered from cysts but I know that I ovulated. Due to some displacement of my reproductive organs, that was somewhat fixed at the age of 17, I was able to feel ovulation and it has been remarked upon by several gynecologists after viewing sonograms of mine that I have a predisposition for ovulating multiple eggs (which I realized as twins run rampant in my family, and granted I would go approximately six weeks in between periods) but now, it‘s been longer than that…I’m not even ovulating one measely egg.

It’s not like we *plan* to start a family in the next couple of years, but it worries me. I’m an anxious person anyway and having endometriosis is enough of a bother I think without the added knowledge that my ovaries aren’t cooperating.

I have my annual gyno appt May 9th and will probably mention this then, especially if O and/or AF is still a no show, but in the meantime, I would appreciate any advice those of you with simliar, or knowledge of similiar situations, might offer.

anovulatory cycles, health issues
