Dr. Dennis Higginbotham answered

Specializes in American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology

Normal cycles: Women who ovulate regularly are likely to have regular cycles. Ovulation itself is sometimes associated with transient cramps, occasional midcycle spotting, occasional episodes of painful intercourse, and of course being fertile.

I have high prolactin (32.8). Have been testing myself for LH spike and have had 4 consecutive days of peak results. When can one assume ovulation takes place? At first or last peak result? Can 4 consecutive peak days be related to prolactin levels?
