Can Missed Vaginal Discharge Suggest Missed Ovulation?

At the beginning of March I started working out and my cycle started late (end of march) and it only lasted about 2 days and it was very light. I do not think I ovulated in March. My cycle used to be like clockwork. I cut back on the exercise to see if my cycle would regulate again. April my cycle came on time (end of April) but it was light and about 3 days (light spotting on the 4th day). I do not think I ovulated in April either. (I had no vaginal discharge). I guess my question is, does it mean that if there isn t vaginal discharge I am not ovulating? Could I have thrown off my cycle by exercising too much. I didn t lose any weight during my month of exercise. I went from no exercise to doing about 1 mile in 10 minutes on the elliptical almost every day.

Hi,

Vigorous exercise for exceeding 60 minutes can cause absence of ovulation. While vigorous exercise around 30 minutes does not affect ovulation. If you are tending for conception, you should get ovulation study by USG scan and get gynecologist consultation for regular periods.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
