9:22 omigosh, this was the answer I needed! My test line during my LH peaks never get darker than the control line but my BBT has the spike a day or two after, so I figured I had ovulated. I was still not totally sure if something was off but this answer gave me some peace. Thanks 😊

[@premomfertility]

Baby dust!

[@WildWomanProvisions1]

Hello! Is there any way that you can do a video on gradual Lh surge vs a rapid onset Lh surge? It’s so confusing! Thank you for the information!

[@premomfertility]

I'd like to share a blog for your reference, hope you find it useful：premom.com/blogs/how-to-get-pregnant-fast/how-to-get-pregnant-fast?_pos=4&_sid=9e113ffed&_ss=r

[@jessicaflores2616]

Thank you for the info. Based on the app I ovulated and confirmed with rise in temps using BBT which are still elevated. I had Ewcm 4dpo then today at 6dpo had a dip in temp but still elevated. Since then it’s been dry. Does this raise any concerns? TIA 😊

[@premomfertility]

Hi Jessica, a temperature rise and egg white cervical mucus after ovulation are positive signs. A temperature dip at 6 days after ovulation might suggest implantation, but not everyone experiences it. Dry cervical mucus is normal after ovulation due to increased progesterone. Remember, these signs don't guarantee pregnancy or fertility, so see a doctor if you're concerned.

[@janeokeke8141]

How can I get the premom bbt and strip in Nigeria? Do you have a sales person here? It's hard ordering from Amazon.

[@premomfertility]

We have an international store on eBay. www.ebay.com/str/easyhomemedical You can have a try. Wish you the best of luck! Baby dust to you!

[@Lucy-tz8xu]

Can LH pick on HCG as early as 1 DPO? I had my peak on CD18 (2.4) on CD19 my LH levels dropped (I had all lows), on 1DPO (CD20) my LH got even lower in the morning (0.35), but I got a sudden high in the evening (0.91)! 😲 what could this mean?

[@premomfertility]

LH and HCG are related hormones, but usually, LH doesn't pick up on HCG until later in pregnancy. It sounds like that you have multiple surges. Best to incorporate basal body temperature to confirm ovulation. Fingers crossed!

[@evelyndominguez8436]

My test strips from Saturday morning to today Tuesday are showing high LH peak, is that normal? Does ovulation happen when the levels go down?

[@premomfertility]

Hello! A big LH peak signals that ovulation is close, usually within 1-2 days. Ovulation happens as LH levels drop after this peak, and it's the prime time for getting pregnant. Keep an eye on your cervical mucus and basal temperature for further confirmation. Best of luck!

[@missshanae5593]

Hello! I have a question, I peaked on dec 5th and my pdg arose after few days after confirming I ovulated but then on my cycle day 23 , I got another Lh surge. Could it be reading hcg level or could that really be the real surge to ovulate?

[@premomfertility]

It's possible to experience a second LH surge during your menstrual cycle, and this doesn't necessarily indicate pregnancy. While LH surges typically occur before ovulation, they can occasionally happen at other times during the menstrual cycle as well. An LH surge can sometimes be a bit irregular, and it's not uncommon for women to have multiple surges in a single cycle. If you have already confirmed ovulation with a sustained temperature rise or other methods, it's less likely that the LH surge on cycle day 23 is related to ovulation. It could be due to normal hormonal fluctuations or other factors. However, if you suspect you might be pregnant or if you experience any unusual symptoms, it's a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider or take a pregnancy test to rule out pregnancy as a possibility. Additionally, if you have concerns about your menstrual cycle or fertility, it's advisable to discuss them with a healthcare professional for a more accurate assessment and guidance.

[@briguyguyton6036]

My test strips do not match the calendar. For example it says Iam 2dpo but finally today I got a lh high. What do I do in this case? Which do I follow calendar or test strips. And even as I input information in the test logs with the pics of the test strips the calendar doesn’t update still says I’m post ovulation 😢 super Confused

[@premomfertility]

Dear, typically your peak will be your last highest result that is followed by a decline in LH. The app will not mark a peak until the reading drops. Generally, your most fertile window is the day before the peak, the peak day and the day after the peak. When you get a positive/high result, it means you may ovulate soon, to increase your chances of getting pregnant, it is recommended to have sex once you get such results. Also, keep testing until the reading drops and stays low. Sending baby dust to you✨✨

[@marirodriguez9795]

Is getting a positive LH surge mean you are ovulating soon? Could you get an LH surge if you don't ovulate?

[@premomfertility]

Yes, typically a positive LH test means that your LH surge has started and you are likely nearing ovulation. However, it is possible to have an LH surge that does not result in ovulation.

[@krupap441]

Question- I have been using ovulation tracker? Says I am ovulating but than test strips doesn’t say I am ovulating. What should I do? Please help- I will greatly appreciate.

[@premomfertility]

Hello, it's crucial to understand that digital tests and ovulation strips may measure LH levels differently. Use LH strips daily until you detect the peak, marked by the darkest or highest test line. After this peak, LH levels decrease, signaling that ovulation is imminent within the next 24-36 hours. This is your most fertile window for pregnancy.

[@butterflyshelton3519]

Hello, my lh strip showed peak very dark it started going down 24 hours after , 4 days after my first peak im getting ovulation symptoms , cramping nausea back pain, is it normal to happen 4 days after a peak?

[@premomfertility]

Hello, It's not uncommon for ovulation symptoms to occur a few days after a peak on your LH strip. Everyone's body is different, and ovulation symptoms can vary in timing and intensity. If you have concerns or questions about your ovulation cycle, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

[@ruqaiyakhan3038]

I got my LH peak on 17th day of my cycle n had intercouse 2 days after peak day so r there chances of me getting pregnant??

[@premomfertility]

It is hard to tell. The five days leading up to ovulation and ovulation day are the days that you can get pregnant. You generally have a higher chance of pregnancy the closer you are to ovulation day. Kindly note that when the peak occurs, it means you may ovulate within 24-36 hours.

[@user-gm9ft9ej6p]

Hello there.. is it normal to start bleeding after two days of getting periods? I usually get periods and it's just spotting for two days, and starts normal bleeding on 3rd day. So is it normal?

[@premomfertility]

Yes, it looks normal. But please consult your healthcare provider if you have more concerns.

[@luceroarias5485]

I peaked 1.11 , 2 days ago and then my levels went down but now they are rising again its on .66. Did i get a wrong peak?

[@premomfertility]

Hi there, the LH peak you experienced a earlier may have been incorrect. LH levels can vary throughout the menstrual cycle, so it's important to consider other signs of ovulation. Tracking cervical mucus and basal body temperature can help confirm ovulation. Good luck to you!

[@popcia9449]

How I can check my fertility days If I don't know when I have period ?

[@premomfertility]

Hi there, You can determine your fertile days by tracking cervical mucus changes or using ovulation predictor kits. Even without a period, you can still track ovulation with LH test strips, although it may require more frequent testing. It's all about observing progression patterns.

[@popcia9449]

Thanks :) I have a question ? Does the chart on the app show my ovulation day correctly since I don't have a period? I only have my period twice a year. But I do tests and temperatures every day. I want to know if this day on the chart - ovulation - is my most fertile day? Thank you😊

[@user-gm9ft9ej6p]

I always get my periods 4 - 5 days before my date sometimes even 6 days earlier. Is it normal?

[@premomfertility]

Hi there, it's not uncommon for periods to vary in timing from cycle to cycle. If your period consistently arrives 4 to 5 days, or even 6 days, earlier than expected, it could be normal for your body's cycle. However, if you're concerned about this pattern or if you've noticed a significant change, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.

[@bineysamsandra3149]

Please if you have sex on 5 April on your ovulation day,will you get pregnant on the same month or the next month

[@premomfertility]

If you have sex on your ovulation day, there is a higher chance of getting pregnant that same month. Sperm can survive for a few days and fertilize an egg around that time. However, it's not guaranteed. If you're worried about pregnancy, talk to a doctor for advice based on your situation.

[@shinakader3677]

hi i'm trying for a baby for five months I'm ovulating every months and I'm not pregnant yet if you have any information about it, I would like to know please

[@premomfertility]

Hello, trying for a baby for five months without success can be quite common. Since you've been tracking your ovulation, that's a positive sign. Ensure regular, unprotected intercourse during your fertile window, lead a healthy lifestyle, and consider consulting a healthcare provider for guidance if needed. Conception journeys vary, and it may take time. Baby dust to you!

[@DemiGriffiths-ls1yd]

OK so I should ovulate by this app on June 26th. I had a peak at 21st June / 22nd june but on .23rd of June the lh surge dropped. Why have I ovulate earlier I stopped taking the pill 3 weeks ago . Could I be pregnant x

[@premomfertility]

It's common to experience some irregularities in your cycle after stopping the pill, as your body adjusts to its natural hormonal rhythm. The LH peak you observed on June 21st/22nd suggests that ovulation may have occurred around that time. A drop in LH after the peak is normal, as it typically indicates that ovulation has happened. If you had unprotected sex during your fertile window, there is a possibility of pregnancy. However, it's also possible that your cycle is still regulating after stopping the pill. To get a clearer picture, you might want to wait a few more days and take a home pregnancy test if you miss your period.❤️

What if your FMU is around 10am?

[@premomfertility]

If your FMU is around 10 am, it's still within the general timeframe for FMU testing, as long as it's your first urine of the day.

Hello, I had my peak and it was 1.54, and after 36 hours of the LH rise,(The LH spike started on the 12th day of the cycle, and in the middle of the 14th day of the cycle, I did not find an egg) I went for an ultrasound, and I did not find an egg. Does this mean that it come out of the ovary?

[@premomfertility]

Hello there! Having an LH peak does often indicate that ovulation is imminent, but it doesn't always guarantee that ovulation occurs. If your ultrasound did not detect an egg, it's possible that ovulation occurred earlier than expected or may still be on its way. And without corpus luteum found, it is likely that egg hasn't released at all. Consider keeping an open line of communication with your healthcare professional for a more detailed understanding based on your specific situation. Sending you warm wishes and positive thoughts! 💕

[@Basmasamer873]

[@Mrs.Short92]

I sometimes feel a little pain in my ovaries but will not get a positive ovulation test. What does that mean?

[@premomfertility]

Experiencing occasional ovarian pain without positive ovulation test results can be due to several factors like testing timing, LH surge variability, hormonal imbalances, or stress. If you have concerns, consult your healthcare provider can help assess your situation and provide accurate guidance for tracking ovulation and managing any underlying issues. Hoping all the best! xo
