A member asked:

How does a dr test to see if your body is ovulating each month? when you have your period do you always ovulate?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

OTC ovulation tests: The doctor need not do tests to determine when you are ovulating. Non-prescription ovulation predictor kits (first response, etc) can give you a very accurate determination of when ovulation is happening. No need for a doctor visit.
