Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? How long after the peak value on the ovulation test strip drops does ovulation occur?Doctor's answer:
Most women's ovulation occurs around 14 days before their next menstrual period. Therefore, the days 2-3 before ovulation and 1-2 days after ovulation are considered the fertile window, which is approximately 4-5 days around the estimated ovulation day. Hence, after starting testing, it is recommended to test at the same time every day. When the test results are close to the peak color, test every 12 hours until the LH peak is detected.
