Hi,

Do not stop taking the medicines without prior consultation with your doctor.

There are ovulation detecting kits that are available over the counter. It is too late for you to do the test.

My suggestion to you is to go back to your gynaecologist and get an ultrasound of the pelvis done to look for the changes, a transvaginal ultrasound would be ideal.

Hope this helps.
