Question on Ovulation Kits
by adgal, Apr 13, 2008 12:22PM
Hi Everyone,
I am a little confused on exactly how the ovulation kit works. I know it detects a "surge". Is this prior to the egg dropping, or at the same time? Also, is it possible to get a positive for ovulation and still not actually drop an egg that month? I will be starting chlomide next cycle. Will I still get a correct reading on an ovulation kit?
Thanks so much for any information you have. I appreciate it.

I used OPKs when I took clomid. However, you have to start testing about 3 days after the last clomid pill or else you may get a false positive.
You can find a lot of infor about OPKs as well as using OPKs with clomid at:

Good luck!!
