A member asked:

Can an ovarian cyst cause a positive ovulation test?

Dr. Michael Traub answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

No: The only way for an ovarian cyst to do that would be it it was hormonally active and secreting lh hormones. That would be 1 in a million chance or less. So the cyst should not affect that.
