LH and FSH levels

I  have been trying OPKs for months and have never seen a surge and there have been 1-2 months where I used a kit almost every day of my cycle.  I have had one test result on day 2 that showed an FSH level of 20 which I know is bad.  I went to a RE for the first time yesterday and based on the fact that I get my period every 27 days like clockwork, I show no other symptoms of premature ovarian failure and that my ultrasound of my ovaries showed very healthy follicles (indicating my body responded well to one dose of clomid) - my doctor said there is a chance that my FSH test was wrong.  I'm skeptical but was wondering if no LH surge is an indicator of premature ovarian failure as well.  Can somebody please help.  Everything I read said that women with POF have high levels of LH so wouldn't that mean I would show a surge?

Oh, one other thing. Some brands of opks are not sensitive enough to turn pos for some women's surges. The ones at babyprayersdotcom are one of the lower sensitivities.

There is about 20% of women that OPKS do not work on. It is possible that you are not o'ing. And it is also possible that you are one of the 20%. Then there is another possibility, lol. Some women's Lh surge only lasts about 12hrs. (I have had several) If that happens and you only test once a day, you could miss it.

Have you ever tried bbt to see if you get a thermal shift?
