I have had a number of blood tests that show that I am not ovulating. I have had a Hystersalpingogram which came back with no problems and also a pelvic ultra sound that showed no internal problems. I do not have chlamydia as this has been tested for. Please can you advise why I am no longer ovulating. My BMI is 32.4 and I know that it should be below 29 which I am attempting to rectify but is there anything else I can do to start me ovulating again. I do have regualar 28 day cycles and also have the signs of ovulation but there does not appear to be an egg. I am 35 years old.

Hey Kerry, If you are not ovulating, u will not have a period. A period is full flow red blood and not just spotting or light flow.

How do u know theres no egg? What kind of blood tests did u have? Yes BMI does play a part in fertility. Fertility pills work well with a normal weight. But with the age, I would talk to an RE about aggressive treatments like injectibles to help you ovulate.

Hi Kerry,

I fully agree with HopeN, and is now best for you to visit an RE to get treatments, and you can find one near you using this site

Hi HopeN & Dr Q

I have had Day 2, 8 and 21 blood tests for two cycles. I have been referred to an infertility clinic but I don't have my appointment with the consultant until 1 September so I was hoping to get some answers before I saw them.

I have had two x-rays, the hystersalpingogram (HSG) which showed that I have no blockages and also a pelvic ultra-sound which found no problems at all.

It purely comes down to the blood tests showing that I was not ovulating. I have heavy periods and my body goes through all the regular changes.

We have been trying for a baby since April 2007, with no luck at all!

The infertility nurse has told me that I have to get down to BMI of 29 before any clinical help will be given so now I am really concentrating on losing weight before I see the consultant! The only problem is that I do already eat healthily and I exercise regularly but my body does not want to get rid of the fat!!
