Hey ladies. It's my first time posting on here so sorry if I do or say something wrong. I'm new to this.

I am 38 and TTC since June. Stopped the pill at the end of May. I've been using Clearblue Easy digital ovulation tests. Every cycle except for the first month off the pill, I showed high fertility then an LH surge but never got a BFP. This cycle, I kept testing and had high fertility for 8 days, sometimes testing twice a day. No LH surge ever came. My ovaries were sore and aching the entire time.

I'm going to have blood work done tomorrow at my OB to test hormones and the age of my ovaries (something like that).

Has anyone ever heard of this happening, especially with the sore / achey ovaries but seeing no LH surge? I had ovarian cysts when I was younger and have been on the pill for most of my adult like. I'm wondering if my body was trying to ovulate and couldn't.... but I also know that the LH is what makes the ovulation possible and it wasn't even present.

Looking to see if there are similar experiences and what you might have learned. Thanks!
