I know iv got some cheap strips to take but there also coming back negative. So confusing

Frer are 10iu and cb digi are 25iu. So much less sensitive. So not necessarily bad news. I know it's impossible but if you wait a few days and test again then you'll know either way. Satiate yourself with the cheapie strips in the meantime perhaps. It's frustrating in the extreme I know.

@Kazr88

How long is a regular lh surge
Every woman's is different. Mine can last for two or three days of high and then a peak, and then gradual decline to low. I had one last cycle which lasted a week, that was stressful.

But I know from my time on ttc boards that some women are blink and miss it, with a peak of a couple of hours.

@Kazr88 I always get strong positives on ovulation strips around my period. It’s quite normal apparently, periods release LH hormone too as the womb falls away. Or that’s what my doctor said!

Yes I had to have a blood transfusion too. Do you think that's what it is then..my body just don't know what it's doin..bless it lol. How long do you think we get a lh surge for ..giving up high ratings x

It can take a while for your cycle to settle down into a regular routine after a loss, especially if you had to have surgery and then significant blood loss.

I'd suggest you're ovulating late and you should get dtd. Fingers crossed 🤞

TwittleBee · 14/05/2021 14:45

It sounds like you're ovulating late this cycle. It isn't uncommon for cycles to be a bit of whack following a miscarriage (I am very sorry for your loss btw Flowers )

I'm currently experiencing a very late ovulation post MC. But I know even prior MCs, I would have the occasional late ovulation, often stress would knock it later on into my cycle.

bubblebath62636 · 14/05/2021 14:43

Op take a pregnancy test then you'll know for sure.

SmidgenofaPigeon · 14/05/2021 14:42

I think your cycle just hasn’t settled to what you thought it had.

Should it be high if I'm supposed to be on my period..I'm not sayin I'm pregnant I'm just so confused to be honest

OP posts:
SmidgenofaPigeon · 14/05/2021 14:41

Then there’s your answer, if you’re getting a strong positive for an ovulation hormone rather than a pregnancy one.

Lou98 · 14/05/2021 14:36

@Kazr88

Never ovulated as high as I'm getting now

Sorry cross posted - as above, it is definitely possible you're ovulating late then and your cycle will be a bit longer this month

SemiFeralDalek · 14/05/2021 14:36

@Kazr88

No it's never a first wee with lh tests as I got told you shouldn't so iv always took them around dinner
If you're testing for ovulation yes, but it wouldn't make a difference if you were using them as a makeshift pregnancy test.

It could just be that your cycle is out a few days. Which pregnancy tests have you been using?

Lou98 · 14/05/2021 14:36

It is also possible that that is you ovulating now and you have perhaps just missed a cycle or ovulated late - this is especially common if your periods are usually irregular. When I was TTC sometimes I would ovulate on CD15/16 and other times it wouldn't be until CD22/23 and my period wouldn't come until say CD40 sometimes
