Why would my premom LH be lower on CD10 than CD7?

[Hairydairyfair]

Just that really. Why would the line be getting fainter? My cycle is 31 days and my last period was 2 March. Surely the line should be getting darker?

Thanks :)

What CD do you usually ovulate? I never usually bothered testing until around CD12 but when I did test before that, the test were always faint. I don't think the app reads them very well when they're that faint.

I had this a couple of times, I had a dip before it went up.

I would start testing in the afternoon aswell so you don't miss it.

I think your urine would just be more dilute, they are still all low readings.
I always take first and second morning pee and that’s all for my opks as I find by mid morning it’s already diluted. So say 7am then the very next small pee when I can manage.
I’ve tried afternoon testing but the line is barely visible for me after drinking

Example of mine doing similar a few cycles back and I just got strict with my testing times

Thank you

First you are testing at the wrong times. Lh is not like hcg where you test in the morning. Afternoon testing is better. It rises in the afternoon. Also its not like hcg where it gets stronger every day. It starts increasing closer to the peak.

Also anything can make it weak, fluid intake, how close you urinate to testing.

Hi OP. If your cycle is usually 31 days, you are likely to be ovulating around CD 17 or up to CD 20-21 if you have a shorter luteal phase. So you wouldn't see your LH increase until much closer, like the 2 days before really. Your LH levels vary day to day in the follicular phase but doesn't mean anything that you've had a reading 0.3 then 0.12, it's incidental.
