I wish I knew the different recommendations before buying the blue ones

[@premomfertility]

Hello dear! LH strips are one tool to help identify your fertile window. It can be helpful to combine LH strip testing with other methods, such as tracking basal body temperature and observing cervical mucus changes, to enhance the accuracy of ovulation prediction. Wish you good luck! Baby dust to you!✨💖🤞💕

The lh strip(blue) worked better for me when I got pregnant in Sept2021. I tested positive with them and with the premom the test line never got darker. Idk but they do work. I got found out I have pcos since 2018 but I honestly think I have it since I was a teenager.

The purple Premom quantitative opks is quite different from the easy@home opks. When using the Premom opks, you don't have to wait for the test line to be as dark as or darker than the control line to indicate positive. There is a color chart inside the box and the app typically looks for a value of 12.5 or above uder the Premom tab to identify peaks.

I understand that the uncertainty around your menstrual cycle can be concerning. It's not uncommon for various factors like stress, changes in routine, or even age-related shifts to affect your menstrual cycle. If your cycle continues to be delayed or if you experience any other unusual symptoms, it might be a good idea to consult a healthcare professional. They can provide personalized insights and recommendations to help you navigate these changes and alleviate any concerns you might have. Wish you all the best!

I dont understand how the two tests are different? The regular ones are read thru the app and give a number also.

[@premomfertility]

Thank you for your question! Please know that easy@home and Premom LH tests are designed and read differently. Premom LH Test Strips are quantitative tests that give you actual LH levels, while easy@home ovulation tests are qualitative tests, comparing the T line and C line to determine whether it's negative or positive. For example, if the T line is as dark as or darker than the C line on the easy@home qualitative test strip, it's normally considered a positive result.

Which test better use for pcos ? Purple one ? Or Both

[@premomfertility]

Hi, it is recommended the Premom quantitative ovulation tests. Quantitative test control lines normally will not change, providing solid and clear test lines on a clean white background. The feature makes it can quantify your LH hormone by providing you with a numerical LH value - no more comparing test lines and control lines.

And I had an apply a day only through the day no breakfast no lunch. I am not able to conceive for the past 4 years. And sometimes I see the egg white cervical mucus and sometimes not.

[@premomfertility]

If you have been trying to conceive for four years without success, it's essential to consult with a reproductive specialist or a fertility doctor. They can perform a comprehensive evaluation of both you and your partner to identify any underlying issues that may be affecting your fertility.

Hi My FSH is 8.45 ng/ml and LH is 9 ng/ml (3rd day of period) is it normal? I feel period like cramps at my expected period date but no blood. Exact same thing happened with me last month also then i have to take progestogen tablet to get period. Why i am having cramps but no periods?

[@premomfertility]

FSH and LH levels can vary during different phases of your cycle. Experiencing cramps without your period could be due to hormonal changes, stress, or other factors. If this is a recurring issue, consulting a healthcare professional is a good idea. Taking progestogen tablets might not address the root cause. It's best to talk to a doctor to understand what might be causing this and get appropriate guidance. Wish you all the best!
