Question 1

how soon can i take an ovulation prediction test?

Accepted Answer

Depends: 1. Could be as early as when you stop bleeding
2. In regular cycles-examples
28d-ovulate around day 14 +/-4 [days 10-18)
35d- ovulate 35-14=21 +/-4 (17-25)
3. In women with pcos- particuarly in lean  (bmi&lt;25)- if urines are always positive, then can't use opt's
4. Clomid (clomiphene) cycles- must be 4 days after completion of meds, as lh and fsh are increased to help with egg recruitment.
Hope that helps!

Question 9

how come when i have cervical mucus ovulation prediction tests negative and then when cervical mucus stops and i get very dry it tests positive?

Accepted Answer

Progesterone effect: Progesterone is the hormone secreted by the ovary starting at ovulation: it prepares the uterine lining and cervix for possible pregnancy. The cervical mucus will dry up to impede entrance to bacteria. Spermatozoa have to travel up the cervix before ovulation takes place. Time intercourse when mucus is is most fluid, test for ovulation twice a day: i think you're be missing the early surge of lh.
