Maybe try from your computer when you get home?

Regardless I am a little confused. Didn't your phone call to the lab on Sunday following one of your blood tests every alternate day tell you that you were ovulating then? OPK's are notoriously unreliable when on clomid (especially if you have pcos). Much better to rely on your intensive monitoring.

I would say you are ovulating today or tomorrow. So try and get a night time and morning BD session in good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

N2L-

I explained this in another thread.

My lab testing has stopped as I was sick of the lab telling me that I was going for Ovulation Tracking, then not doing the tests that they are supposed to monitor (Under LAB MANAGEMENT!)

Now they said on Saturday because my levels of e2 were above 700...'You COULD be ovulating - have a test on Monday to confirm. So I had the test. They didnt test for e2... So I have nothing to compare to. Therefore I am only going to be 'monitored' by doing OPKs and a 7dpo (7days till AF) Progesterone test. Do you understand it now haha I know, confusing. I had to get my head around it all. I probably didnt explain it very well in the other thread.

Anyway I have had for the past 2 days o pain and pimples and EWCM!!! Yay! So I am thinking today is the day as my opk is rediculously positive... and i know its not from the Clomid as my doc and the lab techs said that clomid SHOULDNT affect the results of an OPK if the OPK is done 3 or more days AFTER the last tablet!

And N2L - I dont have PCOS, Well my doc said that i dont after 2 CLEAR u/s and CLEAR blood tests! (Thank goodness!)

But as the pp said, opks don't indicate ovulation. They indicate a surge in LH. Ovulation occurs 24-48 hours later. Once you have ovulated the opks are blank usually. My clinic doesn't test for e2 at all while testing for ovulation. It can be determined by LH and progesterone so your tests on Monday should be conclusive.

Im not having a test on monday...

and my lab tests for e2... I think everyone is different.

I only asked for an opinion. Not a personal attack. Thanks ...

I know full well that the OPK's dont give a definitive answer to the "Have I DEFINATELY Ovulated...?" But a rough idea would be good especially since my husband leaves for work tomorrow for 2 weeks.

My leaflet with my OPKS actually say -

[QUOTE]Certain medical conditions and medications can affect the performance of the test. For example, if you are actually pregnant, have recently been pregnant, have reached the menopause or if you have polycystic ovarian syndrome, you may get a misleading result. This may also be true if you are taking fertility drugs containing Luteinising Hormone (LH) or human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG). Please check with your doctor.
Clomiphene citrate (Clomid) doesn't affect ovulation test kits unless you use them less than 3 days after you take your last pill.

Eta- negative opk on cd15.

No smiley face!

Surge done!

Thanks lovely ladies for your input!

[WannabeMum]

I only just found your thread chick! All looks good to me! I reckon you caught the start and end of the surge on your tests and probably O'd arvo of CD14 Yay! Go for clomid - hope you got lots of BDing in, can't wait to see a bfp from you soon LysnDan, you deserve it!
