Knowing if and when you’re ovulating is key if you’re trying to get pregnant. Some of the most effective ways to tell if you’re ovulating are to:
- Track Your Menstrual Cycle,
- Use Ovulation Predictor Kits (OPKs),
- Track Cervical Mucus,
- Monitor Basal Body Temperature (BBT),
- Ovulation Tracking Apps, and at times physical signs however, this is not always reliable.
What type of doctor can tell me if I am ovulating?
The best type of doctor to tell you if you’re ovulating is an Obstetrician-Gynecologist (OB-GYN). This is the go-to doctor for anything related to your menstrual cycle, hormones, and fertility.
If I am not testing positive for ovulation, what type of doctor do I go to?
The best first step if you haven’t seen a specialist yet is to see your OB-GYN. They can confirm if you’re ovulating through blood tests or ultrasound. Check for common causes like PCOS, thyroid issues, hormone imbalances, and even prescribe basic medications to help trigger ovulation if appropriate.
