LH surge before period

Hi everyone,

looking for some advice/experiences from those of you who have more experience of LH tracking

I know it’s normal to have a second LH surge just before your period but just wondering how many days before your period do you experience this?

Im currently feeding my nearly 1 year old and have only had 1 period (53 days ago) since she was born so no clue how long it will be before the next one as my body settles back into the flow of things.
ive been feeling so hormonal the last week or so with cramping/dizzy and nauseous so can only assume AF is around the corner.

other half bought a pregnancy test because he said I was acting pregnant but that was negative! I had a spare LH test left from testing before last pregnancy and it came back as a positive so wondering/hoping AF is imminent so all the symptoms settle down.

sorry for rambling! Any thoughts appreciated.

I found I was pregnant in two pregnancies last year because of positive LH tests right before my period was due. They were very very dark though. Retest with a pregnancy test--it should show as positive if LH is picking up HCG too.

Thanks for your reply.

I took another pregnancy test this morning which was negative. Just a cheap strip test a pal gave me yesterday as I don’t have any in.

LH strips getting darker so maybe AF isn’t due and im just ovulating really late… have loads of AF symptoms though so I’d be surprised if she doesn’t show in the next few days!
