First month of using LH test strips
Started on CD8 and I’ve tested first urine of the day every day - all negatives so far

CD12 today and I’ve got EWCM
Do I need to be testing more than once daily during this time?
I’m not using an app just going off what I see

Any advice greatly appreciated :-)

Yes I would start testing twice a day from now, just to give you a better idea of what's going on

Okay thank you!
any particular time you would recommend or just at any point later in the day?

I’ve nerve tested religiously but I tended to just test again after work and could definitely catch ovulation starting that way. Some days the line was darker but not a positive in the morning but dark after working day and then lighter again in the morning so I would’ve missed it otherwise

How long are your cycles? I have 35 day cycles so cd 8 or 14 would be way too early for me as I don’t ovulate until cd21/22. No harm in doing repeated tests to find your peak though

All being well they are normally 27-28 days
I thought as my first month I will start early just in case! Then hopefully gives me an idea for next month so I’m not going through loads of tests 🤣 Xx
