XP: Can you tell if ovulation has occurred on an ultrasound?

Hi everyone!

I took Clomid this cycle - but I didn't have any mature follies on my day 14 scan. I thought I might be experiencing ovulation pains a week or so later (which was last Friday) and had textbook EWCM. I went for an ultrasound this Wednesday and there was fluid build-up in my uterus? My doc said I may have ovulated. Can you tell this on an ultrasound? Wouldn't they have also had to have seen a corpus luteum? TIA!!!

    Sometimes, but it is hard to tell the difference between a corpus luteum and a regular cyst.  I've had the nurses tell me my lining looks post ovulatory, but my bloodwork said I was about to O.  Did they do bloodwork to check your progesterone levels?

    No bloodwork. My doc said it is hard to tell when ovulation might have occurred so the bloodwork might not be accurate (as far as progesterone). She said to wait 2 weeks- if I am not pregnant and have not had a period, then take provera. Ugghh

    At my 7dpo appt, I had an u/s and b/w done. The language I heard at the u/s was that there was "one dominant follicle" and its measurments, as well as position, and the presence of "debris". The b/w confirmed ovulation based on progesterone levels.

    So I will say that yes, they could see that I ovulated in the u/s but couldn't confirm it for sure without the b/w.

    I was scheduled for a beta tomorrow, but AF came today.

    When I go for my mid-cycle u/s they always tell me if I've ovulated or if it looks like it will/won't happen.

    They did one on my a few days ago and the doc was able to tell that I didn't O yet based on the size of my follies and lining.

    1/11: IUI #2 = 5mg Femara + trigger + IUI = BFN
    2/11: IUI #3 = injectibles + trigger + IUI = BFN

    I went in the day after my IUI and had a sono to make sure that the follicle "popped" which would mean I ovulated. I asked them what they would do if the follicle didn't "pop" and they said they would give me a higher dose of the trigger shot next time.

    I had an ultrasound last week on CD19 before my SHG, and the ultrasound tech and later my doctor said that it looked like I had ovulated because there was fluid behind my uterus.  As for if it could be something else and not ovulation, I'm not sure...just wanted to pass along that I had the same experience, FWIW.
