An Ovulation Calendar Track How Unique You Are
Most woman have a 28 day cycle. If this is the case, why keep a ovulation calendar to track your cycle? Well even if the average is true, for those exceptions and there are many, the cycle length may be 32 days, or even longer.
Therefore, if your cycle is 28 days, automatically it is assumed that ovulation will occur on day 14. For most this is true. Again however there are many exceptions. Knowing when this important event happens is a must during your infertility cycle.
So you have been unable to conceive and have been diagnosed with infertility. Is it possible, your timing of intercourse has always been around day 13 and day 14. If you are ovulating on day 18, then you will almost always miss the main event! Maybe your unexplained infertility is simply missed timing?

Ovulation Calendar examples:

This is a typical calendar most women assume to be normal. Here there are the standard 28 days, with ovulation on day 14. This is a perfect cycle, and one all woman aspire to during infertility.
32 days in cycle - calendar

This cycle is slightly longer with 32 days. Just slightly longer with an extra 4 days in the cycle. Note in this example, day of ovulation can be as late as day 19. In the event that intercourse was timed for day 13 or 14, the main event would have been missed completely and no conception could have taken place.
38 days in cycle - calendar

This calendar example is one to be slightly concerned about. In a 38 day cycle, ovulation would have to be monitored very carefully to ensure that a woman knows when this occurs. Ovulation in this instance occurred as late as day 24. In the event that your cycle is so long, it is best to consult with a doctor and have your hormone levels checked, to find out if there is not some underlying problem causing the lengthy cycle.
