Fluctuating LH

Last cycle and this one my LH has fluctuated, going up and down then peaking and I'm not sure what it means. I had a chemical pregnancy last cycle, so the fluctuating LH didn't seem to affect ovulation. It's been even more up and down this month. I thought I'd peaked on Saturday, it went down again then I got an even higher peak this morning. My cycles have always been irregular, but had settled down a bit then these last 2 cycles have been longer, I'm on day 26 now.

So wondering if anyone has had similar or can explain what's going on?

Hi @Mountainview8 I'm sorry about your chemical pregnancy. I wonder did your body attempt ovulation but failed so tried again. Or had drank a lot of water in between tests. Did you test again today?

I had a chemical a few years ago and this happened to me. I normally have 32 day cycles and ovulate on day 18. After my chemical, it looked like by body tried to ovulate on day 18 and then 2 weeks later ovulated again. I had about 3-4 days of positive tests which has never happened to me before (and never since).

I then started my period 2 weeks later - it was a 46 day cycle in the end. I didnt get pregnant that cycle but got pregnant the cycle after. I think my body just needed time to sort itself out but have heard that lots of people conceive straight away.

@SureLook after going down to 0.38 yesterday it was back to 0.78 last night, 0.65 this morning and 0.43 this evening. So it's declining, but not sure why it went up again! I think I have ovulated today, my cervical mucus suggests so.

@Mountainview8 if there's other signs then I'd go with that. The LH tests can be finicky!

@GreenPickle thank you, it's useful to hear other people's experiences.
