Did I ovulate?

[Sarah268]

Sorry this is yet another ovulation question. I am new to this (first month using strips) and new to TTC.

I can see I had a rise in LH but it never got above “low”. Does that mean I didn’t ovulate? Or perhaps just missed my peak?

I will continue to track LH for the rest of the month just in case it’s late.

Thanks :)

@Sarah268 Do you bBT?

No I don’t. Thinking I should! As it’s my first month tracking anything I thought I’d start with strips but if I’m out then I will next month.

@Sarah268 if you can do it then I think bBT is a very reliable way to tell if you have ovulated as temp jumps rights up & it’s clear to see. Will attach my chart so you can see what I mean. It does look like you may have peaked around CD14. I found that the Premom app is a little temperamental depending on if you have a shadow over the photo or the flash etc, it can read it differently

Thanks. Yes I feel like it’s a bit of a minefield with the strips. For example I’m also not very good at not drinking for 2 hours prior! I know that can impact results but I also hate feeling dehydrated.
BBT from now on :)

Sorry forgot to attach my chart. I use the CB digital, they aren’t cheap but they are really good & the reader reads it for you & just gives you a smiley face 😊

It looks like you ovulated around CD 14 (hard to tell due to the different lighting on photos) and that’s when you had your rise. Best piece of advice would be to take the photos in good light, no shadows in the same place as that’s how you get the best readings. ☺️

You can edit the readings so the lines are read correctly if you don’t think it was accurate.

I have attached mine for an example for you, lighting really helps xx

Thanks so much to you both!
yes I know the lighting can really impact it. I struggled so much to take it without shadows - must just be my bathroom lighting 😂
