    I have PCOS and recently got bloodwork done that included LH. My doctor said she was surprised that my LH was not higher given that I have PCOS. Does that mean these kits might work for me? I am not on any birth control but I don’t want to have anymore kids, which is why I want to use an opk.

    What about multiple high surges? so it dips down then raises so example cycle day 10 peak then it decreases, then cycle day 13 another peak, then maybe another later in the month? the first surge at day 10 also had a positive digital but the second surge day 13 got a negative digital.

    Hey i took the ovulation test I didn't get the blinky smiley face it was just blank face the night before I tested then the next morning I got a solid smiley face then I tested two days later it was blank face /negative what does that mean I have a short cycle of 21 days so I know I ovulate early

    Hi Dr. I will really appreciate if you respond my question: Let's say that I get the cervical mucus (the egg white stretchy one) on a Monday but I don't get a LH peak until Thursday, when is really my fertility day? the day I got the stretchy cervical mucus or the day after my lh peak day? I really don't understand the math here. Thanks a lot! From Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦 Ps:This have happened for 3 cycles already I get the cervical mucus 3 or 4 days before my LH peak day.

    Cervical mucus reflects estrogen production not ovulation. The LH peak is a better indicator of when you will ovulate

    Hello - Still very confused...I took Clomid 50mg (for very first time) on cycle days 5-9. U/S done on cycle day 13, revealed a18 mm Follicle on (left) ovary & 8 mm on (right). Fertility doctor stated I should ovulate in 1 to 2 days. Tested for LH surge using OPK test on cycle days 14,15, 16, & 17 which were all came back as (* NEG *). Is it possible that I tested too early or too late in my cycle? Are OPK test not able to pick-up LH surge while on Clomid? How can I accurately test for ovulation while on Clomid? - Searching for greater understanding during this confusing process. Thanks in advance!

    From all the research I've done I'm pretty sure it means your not ovulating if the line is more faint than the control line. When the line is just as dark it's a high reading and when the line is darker than the control line is when your at your peak for ovulating. Hope that helps!
