Question

how do i know if and when i ovulate?

Hi ladies. This is my second question that I have asked. The first time was very helpful, so i'm back for another.

I tested "HIGH" fertility yesterday (April 15th) on the digital Clearblue OPK, both morning and at night. This morning the result was "PEAK," which stays on the screen for 48 hours, so no more testing for me. According to the info in the box, since I got a PEAK result, it says I should ovulate within the next 24/36 hours. My body and cycle is anything but "normal" so does anyone know some clear signs of ovulating so that I can better track this? Is it possible to get this "PEAK" result and then NOT ovulate at all? I tracked it last month, getting both HIGH and PEAK results on the OPK but was unsuccessful at conceiving. Wondering if maybe I should focus on doing the BD a few days longer than last cycle as perhaps I didn't ovulate within that 24/36 hour window that the test states. Information? Suggestions? Any advice would be grea

Even if you time everything perfectly, a completely healthy 20 year old only has about a 20-25% chance of conceiving each month.

But to help you know if you've ovulated, you can chart your temperature. Good luck!

according to my OBGYN, she said for 28-30 days regular cycle you will ovulate within CD12-CD18 which is called fertile time/window.. For more accuracy you can do BBT/use OPK pinpoint to ovulation.. At the time of Ovulation you also watch ovulation symptoms like FERTILE CM, OVULATION PAIN or SPOTTING.. All those things I noticed in my past few cycle and than I know when I ovulate. I never use OPKs lol.. And yes it is possible to get PEAK result and not ovulate (coz hormons/cysts).. pregnancy is not depends on more BD..Pregnancy need and only need perfect time, once sperms enter on fellopian tube they will do their job..But yeah BD before ovulation is much better.. Use fertile window.. :)

Sorry for long post.
