Hi Barret- Taking clomid does not ensure ovulation, but it wont prevent it either. I did 4 cycles on clomid and was monitored with bloodwork and ultrasound. I was told to use the opk and never picked up a positive on the kit. I know that I ovulated but didn't see the surge. During one cycle I went in for an u/s on a wed. and they saw two nice size follies, they told me to make sure I was testing for the positive. I tested twice a day that day (wed) and the next (thur) and it was negative. I went back for another u/s early friday morning and the follies were gone. Blood test confirmed I already ovulated. I never had a problem with the kit before I started the clomid, but for some reason the kits aren't always reliable when you are taking fertility meds. You usually ovulate about 5-10 days after your last pill (if I am remembering correctly) But to avoid missing ovulation my doctor prescribed an ovidrel shot to induce ovulation before my body did it on its own when the u/s and bloodwork showed matured follies. That way I didn't miss it again. Hope this helps.
