Negative Ovulation Test Results

 

The key of getting pregnant is finding out when you ovulate. The conception only happens if the sperm and ovum can meet at the right time. Unlike sperm which is able to be released anytime, egg or ovum has its own schedule, i.e. within the menstrual cycle. It is what called as ovulation. Since each woman has different length of menstrual cycle, the continuous check is needed towards the luteinizing hormone changes. The test can be simply done at home using OPK (ovulation predictor kit).

Do you start getting nervous seeing negative result every time you use an ovulation test strip? Are you afraid of having no chance to conceive? Before thinking about the infertility, you should assure yourself if you have used the tool correctly. Here the possible reasons why you get the negative result on the ovulation test:

• You miss the LH surge. The rising of luteinizing hormone level is the sign that you are going to ovulate. Depending on your menstrual cycle, the ovulation process may come within the two weeks before the first next period.
• The timing is possibly off. You may think that the time is right, however, your body shows otherwise. The more trusted way to check is using ovutest test strip or other types of OPK. Keep a note of your menstrual cycles to see the pattern. Pay attention to the basal body temperature and cervical mucus.
• The ovulation may not happen. If you have tried several months but finding no satisfying result, you should immediately see the doctor for more comprehensive tests.

Examine the actual problem can tell you what goes wrong with the test results. If it is the problem on ovulation, the medical professional can give you the treatments. The main cause is possibly unhealthy lifestyle. You may also receive some medications to induce the ovulation.
