Fertility

[rachaellouise]

Because I had the implant and they said it can take up to a month to become fertile again, because I am ovulating now does that mean my fertility has returned?

I don't know about implants, but a positive OPK doesn't mean you have definately ovulated just that you had the LH surge to trigger ovualtion if your body has a follicle ready.

I would assume yes, if you are ovulating then you're fertile. I dont know about getting the hormone anyway, so dont take my word for it

Forgive me for being thick but does it mean if you ovulate you are fertile as a oppose to "infertile"?

Very random, but do you have naturally red hair Rachael?

That was a very random question Louise! Well, my natural hair colour is brunett. Why do you ask?

On your pic i thought i could see a flash of red hair at the front and it reminded me of a girl i used to know that had the most beautiful red hair but she'd always dyed it dark - i just thought it was a shame lol I love red hair

Generally yes. When you get the blood tests done the stuff they check is firstly that you dont have anything like HIV or Clamydia but also mainly that you are ovulating, that's why you have to have two sets of blood test done, I think it's around day 14 and again at around day 21, it's to check the ov hormone appears in your blood stream.

If you're not ovulating then the egg is coming down and you are effectively infertile. If the egg is there then then you are effectively fertile.

Of course there is a ton of other things that could be wrong, but the most obvious are usually that either female isnt ovulating or male has low count (thus making him the infertile one).

Does that help? x
