How To Determine Ovulation Days?
Question: Today was my first visit with an RE after 18 months of trying. Today is day 15 of my cycle and the clear blue ovulation predictor showed a flashing smiley face yesterday and today but no peak yet. The RE did an ultrasound which showed the ovary had released and egg but no free fluid and the uterus was fluffy. So do you know when I possible ovulated? And what does it mean to not have free fluid and have a fluffy uterus?
Brief Answer:
Ovulation has occurred recently
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns about ovulation.
You are likely to have ovulated yesterday night.
Free fluid is not always seen during ovulation and sometimes it is seen late if ovulation has occurrred few hours back.
Fluffy uterus also suggests ovulation.
I think today is the good time to try for pregnancy. I suggest you have sexual intercourse as soon as possible for maximum benefit.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
Regards
