Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Ovulation test: The home ovulation test is the more accurate than monitoring cervical mucous. Cervical mucous monitoring is not very accurate. The most accurate test for ovulation is a midluteal phase Progesterone blood test

I got a egg white cervical mucus at the start of my fertile days and my opk was low. Now 4 days later my cervical mucus is sticky and I got a peak opk test. Could I have ovulated early with a low opk?
Opk helps with predicting when you should ovulate which is 24 to 36 after a peak but how do you know you are ovulating? What do you feel? I know about cramps and egg white cervical mucus but how do you know for sure you're ovulating?
Did not notice the egg like thin stretchy cervical mucus this month. Does this mean I didn't ovulate?
