LH surge

[Wendy813]

Is it possible to get a + OPK and not ovulate? I know LH stimulates ovulation but is it possible i am not really ovulating even though i am detecting a surge?

I agree with Heather. With progesterone of 13, there is definite ovulatory activity. Good luck with your lap.

polycystic ovarian syndrome - usually associated with very long cycles  >40 days inbetween periods..annovulation problems, recurrent ovarian cysts. 80% of people that have it are also overweight..and a lot of insulin resistance...I dont' have symptoms of that or endo but I have both of them.. the pcos was originally seen on the ultrasound its mild though... and then they did blood work checking my LH and testosterone levels..

Sorry, what is PCOS?

Hi Wendy! Just wanted to add that with a CD21 progesterone of 13, you are definitely ovulating! Good luck to you!

i forgot to say that i am on clomid.  This is my 5 cycle.  i always detect a surge but i dont believe i am ovulating.  My HSG was normal and my dh SA was normal. I will be so happy just to have some answers.  I am sure you known how i feel

[Wendy813]

Thanks for the advice.  I have been having a progesterone and it is always around 13.0 on medicated cycles.  I am having a lap the first week in June so hopefully this will give us more info.  They are leaning toward either PCOS or endo.

Yes it unfortuantely is possible.. I have an LH surge (positive OPK) around cd17 or 19 on umedicated cycles with normal periods every 30 days or so.. well it wasn't until I was with My RE for a month that we did an ultrasound after ovulation ( i had a natural LH surge, but just to be sure we also used a hcg trigger shot!) and only to find on ultrasound that my follicle was still there days later!   i've been monitored for two months and both months its happened, I only ovulate 1 out of 3 follies so far! ugh! but the good news is that its not common at all! more common in PCOS and endometriosis patients, and unfortunately i have both of those!   You can ask your dr for an ultrasound 48 hours after your LH surge or trigger.. also a progesterone test on cd21 (or 7 days after ovulation) will help give you more information as well.. GOOD LUCK! : )
