I’m due my period today/tomorrow does this look promising or would I have tested positive by now if the LH test picked up HcG? I’m Cd29 and had cramps on Cd25/26/27 and back ache but not cramps in cd28 today I’ve had subtle period feeling round my belly and back but not cramps and no bleeding yet

No, your LH can be high at any point in your cycle so it could be high even without you being pregnant. That is not a positive test, so you aren't ovulating either but I wonder if you just did and that's what the cramping was? Might be worth trying in case you manage to catch the tail end of ovulation. I ovulated two weeks late with my first child, so had a positive LH test when I had 'missed' my period, because I was only then ovulating.

I don't see any hint of a line on those HcG tests and would expect something if you were also triggering LH tests and had implantation cramping a few days ago. So would be surprised if you're pregnant but it's not impossible for this cycle yet.

Hey I know ovulation tests can detect pregnancy but every time I’m due in I always get very strong ovulation tests so it could be similar for you
