Question 2

is it possible for you to delay ovulation?

Question 3

what is the best method to delay ovulation?

: In a normal cycle, ovulation cannot be "delayed", but see your GYN physician and ask about low dose oral contraceptives, which will stop ovulation and ovarian hormone production.

Question 4

Question 6

is there a safe way to delay ovulation in a normal cyle by just a few days?

Accepted Answer

Not to my knowledge: There are medications that stimulate ovulation  and medications that can pevent ovluation over  the course of a month or more   but  I am not aware of any treatments that can delay it for a few days. A gynecologist would be best to answer this question.

Question 7

i read that postinor delays ovulation by 5-7 days, do i count from my previous day of ovulation to get the new estimated day of ovulation?

Accepted Answer

: Postinor may or may not delay ovulation, mostly depending on where you are in your cycle when you take it, and your next period could be delayed from that. Estimating the day of ovulation is imprecise under the best circumstances. Generally you ovulate 14 days before your period, which can only be calculated in retrospect.

Question 8

are there any visible signs of delayed ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Well...: Missed period, periods that are not very predictable, and of course keeping a calander for 3 to 4 months to see if you need some expert OB advise.

Question 9

if i spot after taking plan b is it because its delaying my ovulation?

Accepted Answer

Plan B: Plan b is used for unprotected sex with contraceptive failure. It works w female hormones. Plan b can prevent ovary from releasing an egg, thickens cervical mucus which makes it harder for the sperm to reach egg & thins the lining of the uterus to prevent implantation. Emergency contraception symptoms can include spotting or bleeding, changes in menstrual flow or your period may be late or early.

Question 10

if i take postinor before i ovulate how long does it delay the ovulation?

Accepted Answer

: Postinor is an emergency contraceptive pill containing an progesterone hormone. Taken within 24 hours it is 95% effective in preventing pregnancy. Depending on where you are in your cycle, the hormone may prevent or delay ovulation or may interfere with the transport of egg/sperm. It is not possible to calculate/guess how long your specific ovulation will be delayed.
