Fsh and ovulation prediction

I have regular periods that are approx 30 day cycles. Ovulation prediction kits seem to never detect ovulation (at the window when ovulation should be happening). So I assume my FSH isn’t doing what it’s supposed to in order for the kits to detect it.
Can anyone explain how the FSH (which I believe is what the kits detects) is preventing me from getting pregnant and/or ovulating? It seems like I’m ovulation but the kits are predicting/detecting it. AND I’m clearly not getting pregnant even though I’m Ttc at the appropriate window. Just looking for some insight. |

| Ovulation kits detect LH. https://www.verywellfamily.com/all-about-ovulation-predictor-kits-1960227 explains how they work. Basically, LH spikes right before ovulation, and the kit measures LH. You may want to ask a doctor (OBGYN or RE) for blood tests to determining if you are ovulating. If your LH is not spiking, you may not be ovulating and that could explain why you are not getting pregnant. |

| PP is correct. You may also have better luck testing twice a day. |
