who says???

Ive just read alot of ppl say that if you get regular periods then you probabally O on your own.. Not true....... I have regular periods to the day i can tell you when af is coming. Also I would do  OPK tests and they would be positive, BUT when i had a blood test done to see if i was O it came back negitive.....So i just thought i would let ppl know just because you have regular periods and positive OPKs I would have a blood test to make sure.... GOOD LUCK!!

thats true. just cause you have periods , doesnt mean your ovulating. but if you dont have regular periods, then YOU KNOW youre NOT ovulating.

OPKs don't work for 12% of all women that use them. They can give pos or neg results that are not accurate. Also, cysts, clomid, pcos and other conditions can give a false pos.

Oh wow! I know that some people won't ovulate even though they have an LH surge, but they usually have irregular cycles. I guess you never know...

Although, in addition to the blood test, BBT charting can help confirm ovulation too. Just thought I'd add that, in case someone were interested.

I went to your page and saw that you're trying clomid now, so I just wanted to wish you the best of luck! Hopefully, you'll get your BFP soon!
