So my periods and ovulation are a bit all over the place as I’m still kind of breastfeeding.
app says that I have reached my peak but not sure, what do you think?? The “peak” was the day after my period ended !
also , is 0.8 not very low to peak?

These are all weirdly strong readings but coming out as low ratios. Is the lighting good when you take the picture? I normally peaked at over 1, but my usual value was much lower than yours, 0.15-0.3 typically. Any chance you're already pregnant? I know you said you've just had a period but it might be worth checking as if there's any chance that was a chemical pregnancy it would explain the continued high readings.

@Springadorable yeah I thought it was so weird how strong it was when on/finishing period. Did a pregnancy test the other day and negative! Hoping I times baby dancing well for this cycle 😭!

It's so tough isn't it! I had to fully stop feeding to conceive my second, just wasn't going to happen while I fed. I know it does for a lot of people though.

@Springadorable yeah I fear that may be the case for me! Do you think it’s possible I ovulated with that reading??

Yeah from the reading it's high so it's possible from the hormone levels, but I don't think your follicle would have been ready as it's so close to your period it just wouldn't have had a chance to get ready. So I think this cycle is probably a bust 😕

@Springadorable so I did a pregnancy test after your comment yesterday and I’m sure this is a positive!

Oh yes I can just about see a shadow! So if I was to guess I'd say you were pregnant, but it's not stuck (for me the issue was that my luteal phase was too short when I was still feeding for the embryo to properly signal it was there before my body chucked it out as a period). Looks like levels might be dropping off now, how does it look on an LH test today? It took a week after my chemical to stop testing positive

I think that's the hcg leaving your system. What a confusing emotional rollercoaster! X

@Springadorable im not sure what you mean by hcg leaving my system?
this is the first positive I’ve had. I actually did a test while on my period (weirdly) and it was negative
