Brief Answer:
Three bars is imminent ovulation

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mrs XXXXXXX I'm happy to answer you again.
Yes three bars are suggestive of high fertility potential and imminent ovulation.
Thus sex around this time will give best results so wish you luck.
One bar is low potential,
Two bars is high potential
Three bars means peak potential.
After the test shows three bars, ovulation is imminent.
I hope I have answered your question.
Take care and all the best.

Brief Answer:
ovulation about to occur

Detailed Answer:
You are most welcome Mrs XXXXXXX
Yes ovulation is definite in case of three lines on monitor.
All you need to do is to have intercourse with your partner during that time to increase the chances of fertilization and thus conception.
Take care.

I am worried because Clearblue fertility monitor shows ovulation but ovulation test sticks (boots own brand) always show negative.
Do you think I will be ovulating and should trust the Clearblue fertility monitor?
doctor
Answered by Dr. Manisha Jain (1 hour later)
Brief Answer:
Ultrasound around day of ovulation

Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, your anxiety is justified but as i told you earlier monitor is better indicator than OPK sticks. One thing which you can do is to get a follicular study on transvaginal ultrasound on day of start of rise of LH that is when your monitor shows two lines till its peak that is till three lines. In case ultrasound shows follicular rupture and free fluid in POD on day after monitor has shown three bars then it will assure you that you are ovulating but LH levels are lower than the detection threshold of OPK kits. I hope that will relieve your anxiety for next 5 months in which you can time your intercourse with three bars on monitor. Take care.
