Hi again. My husband and I are trying to get pregnant, but I am very confused by the ovulation tests. On Monday, it was negative (or no LH surge) but Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and today they have all be positive. I didn't expect to get a positive result more than one day or two days tops. Has this happened to anyone else? I have followed the directions on the box (re-read them every day) but is there something I'm not understanding. We used ovulation tests to conceive my daughter too, it took 1 month and I don't remember anything like this happening.
Thanks
this might be a sign that you are pregnant. at least, that is what happened to me and I had literally just got pregnant.
What kind of test are you using? I use the smiley face ones so there is no question about a positive or not. From what I understand it's normal to get a positive for 1-3 days, any more you may want to talk to your dr. some women do use them as pregnancy tests (if they have nothing else) and you can get a positive with them if you are pregnant, but since you had a negative on Monday then you're probably not.
As far as when to "baby dance" when you get a positive. It's best do do it the day before (if you are psychic) the day of and the two following day. There is also a theory out there that you should skip a day and do it the day after that, just incase you ovulate late.
Best of luck!!!
The tests I used said once you get a positive, to stop testing. You'll be ovulating within the next 24-36hrs. So, as long as you are having sex around that date you are doing all you can. I did ovulation kits for about 7mos after trying for 3 without them. So it took us 10mos but at least we didn't have to do any fertility treatments! Good luck! (It only took us 1 or 2 tries with our first kids... I think we are just getting older!)
The tests (brands) that I have used both said to stop testing and to have sex within 24 to 36 hrs after a positive test came back. I just went with that and stopped testing and then got my baby dance on as much as possible for the next two days.
Good Luck
Are you sure the test line is at least as dark or darker than the control line? If so, you are probably just catching it as it peaked for 48 hours, which is not unusual.
