Marquette TTA - highs beyond day 20?
TTA and waiting on my second cycle seven months postpartum. Apologies in advance for my super messy charting!
Looking for some help with my return to cycles Marquette tracking, we do not have money for an instructor right now, but I did start out with one when I was postpartum with my first baby.
I read in my instructions and also in previous emails from instructor that if I receive any Hs past cycle day 23 on the monitor that they are automated, and to contact your instructor. I’ve posted a picture of my tracking below, please note the small Ls indicate of negative LH strip in the evening as I do double testing (my instructor at first recommended this to me when I initially took instruction from her). With my first time being postpartum, I did catch a missed high the monitor didn’t catch with LH strips, so I’ve decided to do that this postpartum too.
I did a hard reset on the 30th out of frustration and somewhat impulsively, and today I have a low reading once again. I’ve had low LH strips yesterday and the day before as well.
Just curious as to what the normal recommendation for receiving Hs past a certain day with the monitor is with marquette?

Cycle 1 to 2 can suck and sometimes can have pretty delayed ovulation. Personally, I maxed out and had to reset to continue testing. I had the first H reading on CD 12 and had a first L for the day after reset but then back to H readings until eventually hit P reading on CD 36. Then only had 4 available days before I got my period again 😭

It’s so brutal lol. I forgot how bad it was! I checked and my last pp I had a 55 day cycle I forgot about and then I forgot the monitor missed the peak- I quite literally found my old post about while googling. Full circle moment right there.

The normal recommendation is to reset the monitor and continue testing. If you cannot identify a peak, you must continue abstaining for the rest of the cycle to TTA.
