TTC for nearly 2 years now and decided to start to track ovulation, first time using ovulation test
Cycle day 8, is this peak? I thought you usually ovulated around half way through your cycle?
My cycles are usually 31 days with my period lasting 4 days, could it be I ovulate early and I've been missing ovulation all this time

I'd say that is possibly your peak. No harm in having sex now just in case. I'd keep testing and see if the levels start to drop off

thrifty24 · 30/12/2024 14:37

Possibly. Are you also tracking temperature? I think 3 high temps confirms ovulation following peak

Lulu89x · 30/12/2024 15:13

Very possible. Keep testing for the next couple of days to see if you do hit your peak/for the LH levels to drop again.

@BexEll i don’t think you’re quite there with your peak but I’d certainly say it looks like it’s nearly there! I’d check again a few times tomorrow or tonight.

‘Ovulation can occur between cd 6 to 21. Ovulation happening before cd 11 can be considered early’

Thankyou. I'll keep testing

No I've never tracked temp before, would it be beneficial to do both?

I would take as an indication to get busy as much as you two want to from today onwards and hope for the best. Good luck! 🤞🏼

Go get your day 21 progesterone test through your GP (although officially it should be a week post ovulation)

My ovulation tests showed positive each month and I had periods however I had infertility for 3 years. The day 21 progesterone test showed my eggs were not mature enough. Just needed clomid tablets.

Mama09876 · 30/12/2024 17:38

Yeah I agree with @Olika id get busy! I’ve been waiting for my peak then dtd and i think ive left it to late, i think i ovulate pretty quickly after my peak so this month ive gone of cervical mucus and hoping ive caught it by dtd earlier than normal 🤞🏻

Sorry to jump on, I’ve just had my progesterone tested (7 days before expected period) and it’s low. I’ve been monitoring my ovulation and I haven’t been reaching the peak for the past 3/4 months following my 2nd m/c although the highest the ratio gets is 0.5 (need greater than 1.0). Does the clomid induce the ovulation so you can get the peak back?

Clomid helps a woman produce matured eggs which can be fertilised. It’s a very effective and productive drug, resolving lots of cases of female infertility. I conceived my second child after four clomid cycles and my third with two clomid cycles at a slightly higher dose. There are also alternatives if clomid fails to do the trick. Personally I’d advise going private if you’d like treatment quicker then the nhs can provide. You can make things cheaper by getting all the privately directed blood tests through your local GP surgery.

Thankyou for all the help, it was my peak!
I'll also be investing in a thermometer

It's great that you were able to spot your peak and know now that you might be ovulating earlier than you thought. Hopefully you will be successful very soon.
