A little back story..... I have been with my partner for about 4 years. I was previously married and have 2 children from that relationship. My new partner is younger and has no children of his own.
For a couple years I have been discussing the issue of having a baby together. We are now at the point where we are trying but I have just found out that I'm not ovulating. It's the fear that I have had for sometime. I'm probably jumping the gun but obviously the worst case scenario comes to mind. I am angry tbh, angry that my body is letting me down, angry that he took so long to get his head around the idea and angry that it's possibly something I can't fix.
My question is, can ovulation change monthly as you get older and what the possibility is that this was just an off month?

Lots of things can effect ovulation, being underweight or overweight is one of them. Of course getting older can lower fertility and for some women that happens earlier than others. But just because you didn't ovulate one month doesn't mean your not ever ovulating. I wouldn't jump the gun on saying it will never happen yet and of course there are procedures that can help this happen. I assume your under the care of a dr who can help you through this process.
They can give you medication yo start ovulating. It's one of the easier problems to fix when you have problems conceiving :) so don't be so hard on yourself. There's plenty of options out there
How do you know your not ovulating? A home test or have you had your AMH levels checked by a fertility specialist. Obviously a FS is going to be giving you a lot more accurate results. I would be going to see a GP and getting a referral to a FS and going from there.
