I (34f) been ttc for nearly 2 years. Already have 2 children (ds15 dd7)
I've had hormone tests and doctors think I may be pre menopausal. High fsh. (Early menopause runs in the family, my mum started HRT before 40) so I started conceive plus, and clomid last month. I've not ovulated for god knows how long. Sometimes going 4months without AF until I started medication and change in diet ect. So I take an ovulation test every day, and they are clearly negative. But yesterday and today are different. Day 18, menstrual cycle is down do 35 days. Does this really mean I'm ovulating? I've had cramps, and other signs, but after 2 years, you kind of think your just imagining stuff.

@Emma1603 it's quite hard to know without a blood test to confirm. Have you been booked in for progesterone test to confirm ovulation?
Lh tests just aren't suffient evidence as you can surge without releasing an egg. It's hard to tell from photo as the previous tests are dried, and your not supposed to rely on the reading after 10 mins since they get darker the more they are left but the second strip the test line does look darker, but then I'm possible to really judge this since they are dried. Get your bloods done a week from now to check if you have.
I've also completed my first month of clomid and ovulated last week 🤞

@MK85 I actually have a photo of the second test within 2mins of taking it, lol. I'll attach it below. I took it and sent it to the other half cause I just couldn't believe it. It's the first one that's come out remotely positive and I must have take hundreds x
