Suggest Treatment For Infertility
Question: Hi
I am 38 years of age and am trying to conceive.
My doctor has done all necessary blood tests and everything is good including an excellent egg reserve for my age.
I have bought a Clearblue Fertility Monitor which the first month showed no peak but the second month is now showing peak, so to me this is a good omen that I am ovulating.
I have however bought ovulation tests (Boots Own) and these are always negative.
Am I safe to say stick with the Clearblue Fertility Monitor and keep trying for a baby the natural way?
Does the Clearblue Fertility Monitor actually show I do ovulate?
Please help me I am so confused, I can't check cervical mucus as I have no idea what this is or how to do it and I don't want to start temperature charting as I thought the Fertility Monitor would take all the stress out of this.
Many thanks for your help with the above query.

Brief Answer:
Follicular growth scan
Detailed Answer:
Hi
1. If clear blue shows ovulation then you probably ovulated.
2. Better to get follicular growth scan done. Take inj. HCG when follicle is 18 mm.
3. Before that get HSG test done to confirm patency of fallopian tubes.
4. Also get your husband's semen analysis done.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
