If you’re trying to get pregnant, you need to start with some basic understanding about ovulation. You need to know what exactly ovulation is and what occurs during ovulation. When you ovulate, your ovaries release a single, mature egg. That egg travels into your fallopian tube. Each month, the egg may go to either the left or the right tube. When the egg is in the fallopian tube, it will wait for a day or so. If that egg isn’t fertilized after a day or so, it will start to disintegrate. If the egg does become fertilized, it will travel to the uterus where the fertilized egg will implant. If the egg isn’t fertilized, it will pass from your body during menstruation.

In some cases, a woman may experience a monthly cycle in which an egg is not released by the ovaries. We call this situation an “anovulatory cycle” or “anovulation.” Anovulation happens to many women, and it’s typically not a chronic condition.

For some women, however, anovulation becomes a regular problem. If you have several cycles in a row where you don’t ovulate, you probably need to speak with your doctor about the problem. In some cases, your doctor may be able to help figure out why you’re not ovulating. In other cases, she may be able to prescribe certain infertility medications, such as Clomid, which may make it easier for you to ovulate.

There are a number of things that can cause an anovulatory cycle. For example, taking birth control pills make it so that you don’t ovulate, and therefore can’t get pregnant. Breastfeeding may cause anovulatory cycles, too. Many women don’t ovulate until after they’re done breastfeeding. A rapid change in weight, either gain or loss, can cause anovuation, as well. It can be caused by illnesses, by thyroid problems, by infections, failure of the ovaries, PCOS and a whole host of other possible causes.

If you think you’re experiencing anovulation, you can talk to your doctor about the problem. She may be able to help figure out whether or not you may need some testing or help with fertility.
