A low value is completely normal in the pre-ovulatory follicular phase or in males.
What does a high result mean?
A robust elevation around day 21 of a typical cycle provides solid confirmation of successful recent ovulation.
Questions ready for your doctor
Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

- Was the test timing (ideally day 21 or 7 days post-ovulation) well chosen?
- Is this result supportive when planning pregnancy?
