Evaluation of OvulationEvaluation of Ovulation Basal BodyTemperature – Poor Sensitivity
Urinary LH kits start 2-3 days before surge is expected ovulation is 24-48 hrs later
Midluteal Progesterone > 3 ng/ml shows evidence of ovulation > 10 ng/ml shows evidence of “good”
ovulation 1 wk before menses is best
