December 28, 2020 at 7:59 amHi,

I'm trying to get pregnant but my perios hasn't return since I gave birth 31 months ago. I'm still breastfeeding a bit here and there. In the last few months I've noticed different sensations in my abdomen much like I used to experince at different points in my cycle. I've also noticed a marked change in the cervical fluid and position when I examine with my fingers. The cervical fluid has gone through the phases of dry to wet, to creamy to slippery etc 2 months running now and at around 31 days interval. These changes also coincided with a possible, but not 100% certain, positive line on the test strips. I feel like my body is perhaps getting ready to start ovulating again. My question is: Is it possible to have this kind of cervical fluid and still not be ovulating?

Thanks for your help

December 28, 2020 at 11:12 amHi. I believe you can see fertile signs and not ovulate. Your body may attempt ovulation, but not be successful. Breastfeeding can delay ovulation so that is still a possibility. Also, it is possible to see fertile signs before ovulation occures.

Hopefully some other people will be able to share their experience of postpartum cycles with you.

December 29, 2020 at 3:02 amThank you, That's what I suspected.

I wonder if there is way to know for certain if ovulation is taking place without actually becoming pregnant?

December 29, 2020 at 8:02 amYou're welcome. You would likely get a period if ovulation was successful and you were not pregnant. The Luteal Phase is typically 12-15 days give or take so when your period does arrive you can assume ovulation happened about 12-15 days previous.

The only other way to know if ovulation was successful 100% before your period would be with a vaginal ultrasound.

Hope this helps!
