Lh Surge And Ovulation Predictor
Mary asks…
Can ovulation go undetected by the Ovulation Predictor Kits?
I’ve been testing 2-3 times a day and I’m on day 21 of my cycle, and i still haven’t detected an LH surge. I’ll see lines that are almost as dark as the ref line but they never quite match. I did however experience the cramping on my right side, the increase in heat and the cervical mucus, and now it looks like my LH that was being detected is going down. What’s going on?
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
Logically, if you’re testing that many times a day you should have caught your surge. However, if your urine was too diluted, it’s still possible you missed it. It’s also possible you haven’t ovulated yet. From your other signs, it sounds like you did ovulate recently. This is where charting your temps is helpful. Charting will confirm when ovulation took place.
Good luck.
Nancy asks…
i had my last period on may the 13th. i used an online ovulation predictor and it said that i should be ovulat
said i should be ovulating b/w the 23-27. so i took home ovulation tests during that time and i have yet to have a LH surge. Could i already be preggers, and is it to early to take a home pregnacy test if im not due untill the 9th of june
i took the test first thing in the morning. i also tracked my periods to be sure that i had a regular cycle.
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
I have tried the online ovulation predictors for so long that I should have 2 kids by now….what i’m saying is that not every womans body is the same. They say the “Typical” woman ovulates 14 days after her period (That “Typical” woman is on a 28 day cycle). I would suggest using the store ovulation tests. You may need to buy 2 packages the first month to decide when you ovulate. Good Luck!
Sandy asks…
Do Ovulation Predictor Kits really work?
Has anyone had luck with OPKs? I used one this month for the first time, we had sex 3 days before I got the positive LH surge then the day I found the surge and the next. I am now in the dreaded 2 week waiting period, aah! But if you’ve had luck, please share so I have some hope.
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
It didn’t work with me, but I ended up pregnant soon after anyways. I also tried the gender prediction test, and it said girl… Guess what… It’s a boy.. Big waste of 30.00.
I’m sure they work on some people though. I hope it works for you. Usually the first 7-14 days after your period is the best time. I know thats a long time to go at it, but there it is.
Good Luck and Congrats if you are. Don’t forget to take the test with your first morning pee. It has the best hormones for prediction.
Susan asks…
when youre actually pregnant and you take an ovulation predictor what will the result show up? – or +?
no lh surge or yes? i was supposed to ovulate the 20th but it didnt show up and ive been feeling very sick boobs tingly too.
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
Ovulation tests will show a positive if you are both ovulating and/or pregnant. IIt is becuase the hormones LH and HGC are almost identical…but take a pregnancy test to find out if you are truly pregnant. Your symptoms sound like you may be preggo:) !!!!
Helen asks…
Question about the ovulation predictor kit?
Okay, so in the directions that came with my kit it says I should test with my first morning urine, however I read online you should wait about 4-6 hours because women naturally have an LH surge in the morning. Is this true?
Also, I have a 35 day cycle and started testing on CD 18, did I do the right thing?
Pregnancy Advisor’s answers:
You have a really long cycle. That would be the right time to start if you consistantly have that long of a cycle. The reason you are supposed to use morning urine is because you need to test after having not gone to the bathroom for at least 4 hours. If you are able to do that during the day then you can test at any time.
