Congrats AngelEyes. You are one step closer InshAllah to conceving. I wish you all the best.

Can someone please explain what type of test confirms anovulation? My ob/gyn said she can assure me that I am ovulating, but my periods are pretty irregular. They range anywhere from 30-45 days and the cycle length is different each month. How can you tell if you are ovulating or not? I have a ClearBlue Fertility Monitor and so far has always detected the LH surge as well as the estrogen surge…but there is no way to know for sure if ovulation occured or not.

Also what is the PCT test that checks if sperm survived the cervical mucus environment? How is it performed? Are both of these tests only done by fertility specialists or can a family doctor do them too?

Being irregular doesn’t mean you’re not ovulating. Having periods USUALLY suggests ovulation. And as AE said, bloodwork gives further confirmation.
