How To Determine Ovulation Days For Easy Conception?
Question: Please help how do I know I ovulate?
I have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years. I have been to Fertility Specialists who are happy with me. The problem is I say I don't ovulate but they say I do.
I have bought a Clearblue fertility monitor and I get low and high days but no peak, ovulation strips also never show 2 lines.
Day 21 Progesterone keeps coming back at <1. I don't think Day 21 is accurate enough as my cycles vary between 30 and 33 days
Please tell me how I can know for sure that I ovulate, intercourse has never been regular up until 3 months ago where we have contact every other day.
Will I and can I get pregnant naturally?
I have never been pregnant before

You can get pregnant naturally
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Hope you are doing well. Good to see you.
Progesterone value cannot be trusted on day 21 as your cycles vary.
You were ovulating earlier when I spoke to you. I don't see any problem.
Only other way to confirm if you are ovulating is by doing ultrasound scan.
Hope you are doing well with your weight loss.
I see that you can get pregnant naturally.

Why is fertility monitor not showing peak its that making me worry and ovulation test strips never positive
Brief Answer:
Strips are not always reliable
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
These strips are not always reliable.
Follicular growth scan done atleast once will predict about your follicular growth and ovulation when there is doubt.
Ovulation is likely to be happening. If there was no ovulation you wouldn't have had periods regularly.
