Re: Confusion About Ovulation Test

I'm not a doctor, but I know that ovulation tests can be a bit tricky at times. Have you considered taking BBT at the same time?

I would not make an assumption that these are blighted ovums based on what you are saying. You would need an ultrasound for that, I think.

If you can forgive me, the description of stringy discharge bothers me, too. The mucus at ovulation should be more runny and slippery than stringy. Perhaps this is just a difference in philosophy, though.

If you want to contact me through email, maybe we can figure this out together.
