2 LH surges in one cycle?

Hey girls 👋🏼 I am so confused! Maybe someone has had something similar happen....

To cut a long story short I usually have around 28/29 day cycles and ovulate on or around CD14.... ✨

I was quite poorly last week, had flu symptoms and have been diagnosed with Strep A and now on a course of penicillin (But thank god I feel better) 🙏🏼

I got what I thought was my PEAK on CD11 last week, I'll attach a photo... this was when I was poorly 😷 it seemed quite early for me 🤔

But I've woken up this morning CD18 and have had a stronger PEAK 🤔

Did my body not ovulate whilst I was ill and now is? Haven't a clue what's going on 😭🤣 Just seems so late for me now 😢

@SunshineAndRainbows6 Thank you. She was very understanding! Starting to feel a bit more human as the day goes on.

So I use my Apple Watch temp. I just wear it at night in sleep mode and then it gives me my temp in the morning! So much easier as I was always forgetting before!

I’m so sorry to hear about your loses, I can’t even begin to imagine. An ectopic too, you are so strong for getting through that! How long have you TTC?

I have a son who is 19 months and he was conceived very quickly. Struggling a bit, on cycle 6 now. I know it can take up to a year but seems such a long time to me! X

@SunshineAndRainbows6 ahh how strange! Glad you have found your proper peak now though. So satisfying when you get a really strong one. Although frustrating when our body doesn’t do what it usually does and throws everything off!

My tests have been getting lighter so I wonder if I did actually ovulate when ill. Just strange it was early for me!

I’ve also had a raging temp so my BBT chart confirmed ovulation, but that’s only because my temp has been so high the past 2 days. How bloody horrendous is strep throat though?! I have felt so ill! I’m even missing a wedding today and I feel so crap about it.

I’m so glad you are feeling better now! Well done for still managing to DTD! We only did it peak day and the day before. They were the 2 I got pregnant first time round so just hoping it’s quality over quantity this time!

Sending baby dust too and looking forward to an update 🤞🏻!! Xx

@Springadorable Thank you 🙏🏼 let's hope 🤞🏻

@TTC1990 Bless you! It's so weird isn't it, how our bodies work 🤨😂

I'm sorry you're still feeling so poorly, hopefully it clears soon and they've got to understand about you not going... it's frustrating to miss plans, especially a wedding, but you getting better comes first ❤️‍🩹

Unfortunately I don't temp as I have a 5 year old who's up at weird hours so just wouldn't work for me 🤣 But my LH strips did go strong and then went super super light until I got this PEAK, so I was adamant I had too! It sounds like you covered it either way though 🙏🏼

I'm annoyed if this time has mucked my cycles up as I've been doing so well since our losses... 😞 Unfortunately we had a MMC at 9 weeks last October and then I went on to have a ruptured ectopic in January this is year... I lost my right tube 😭 By some miracle my cycles have stayed pretty consistent through it all.... but this how now thrown me for six 😂 So I am super paranoid for the next time round... 🌈

Do you have any children? 🥰✨

The first one doesn't quite look darker than your control line. Did you drink a lot less with strep throat? My best guess is that you were a bit dehydrated meaning a stronger test result.

Yes I definitely didn't drink enough I don't think, I had a really high temp for a couple of days in bed 🤒 So I think whatever happened wasn't a correct reading.... it's deffo ovulation this time round as I've had the symptoms to go alongside it 🙏🏼

Let's hope we've done enough and get a bit lucky ✨🌈

I’m afraid I don’t have any advice but just come to say I’m in such a similar boat!! I got a peak on CD14 but have strep throat (also on antibiotics), but I usually ovulate on CD17 so wondering if the same thing has happened to my body as you?

Too ill to DTD tonight so hoping the couple of times we did it will do it. Although been trying for a while now…

Plesse let me know how you get on! I will update you if I get another peak later on in my cycle too xx

Hey lovely 👋🏼

Oh my Lord how weird, literally so similar.... I hope you're starting to feel better! We were the same, managed to DTD a couple times, wasn't the most enjoyable when I felt so rough but got the job done 😂

I had a really high temp for 2 days, my hubby said it was like sleeping next to a furnace! I did do some googling and found out that a high temp etc... can prolong ovulation, but as you have experienced we've both had it appear early, shame there's nothing on that side of things... 🤔 Thinking back to it now, I didn't have my usual 'ovulation' symptoms on that first PEAK, no EWCM or cramps... so I reckon my body just went a bit funny!

My PEAK was even stronger last night (Dye stealer) and also dark again this morning.... I've had cramps/EWCM so deffo think this time round is the real deal.... 🙏🏼

Just annoying as I've had quite good cycles (28/29 days) and now my Flo apps saying AF wont arrive till around 33 days.... let's keep everything crossed you get another PEAK soon and AF stays away for both of us 🙏🏼✨

Will keep you posted either way 🥰 Sending lots of baby dust to you ✨
