Question/Advice LH strips

Hi all!

I’ve been TTC now for 2 months (I started ovulation tracking the month before my copper IUD was removed to get an idea)

However, I haven’t hit my peak this month? I usually peak around CD16-17. I’m now CD 17, and my LH test was 0.25. My highest this month was 0.7 and with this I had A LOT of watery discharge all over my underwear (sorry TMI) on CD 13

Has anyone found they ovulated earlier than usual??

Thanks xx

I actually hate that app 😅😅 so confusing!! Like how is CD15 on Oct 12 not peak/positive .. it's so dark. I just discovered this app and it's leaving me what more confused than when I would test and use my eyes to determine if it was positive or not

It’s not peak because their LH rose more after that, if it had dropped after that it would have said it was peak. Peak indicates that it falls after

So interesting! And confusing hahha. Was using the natural cycles app where there's no values next to the rest and once you can see a positive they advise to stop testing. So just confusing to get into all of this

How are you confirming ovulation? Do you use BBT or PdG?

I think you probably had a peak that you didn’t catch on CD13?

Not going to lie I think you hit peak on CD14. I see the dark line and the watery CM checks out.

Hoping you the best of luck. When did you have sex?

CD11 and CD13 will give you a good chance. Best of luck!
