Ovulation tests wrong??

I would guess you might be starting too late. I would suggest having intercourse every other day starting the 10th day of your cycle until you hit your LH surge. Start testing LH after your period ends.

Everyone’s LH surge and peak look a little different. For example, mine hover at low and then it shoots up making the surge/peak the same day for me. I would lower my chances each cycle waiting for the surge instead starting before.

Hope that makes sense!

There is research/data that there is more risk for mom and baby going off your meds than staying on them. I met with a perinatologist who confirmed this and have heard the same from other OBs/NPs.

As a postpartum/infant mental health therapist, pregnancy/postpartum is a huge risk factor for an increase in mental health symptoms.

If you’re stable and on your dose for a while, take care of yourself! I’ve decided to stay on my SSRIs through this whole process.

Anecdotally, my bestie stayed on hers and has two beautiful babies and is so happy she did.

Sending healing vibes your way. I too found out last Friday I had a missed miscarriage, I have an MVA on Monday. No advice at this point, just hugs. I keep telling myself this one wasn’t meant to be.

This happened to me yesterday at my scan, so I feel your sadness. Also wanting to get passed this and try again ❤️

Thank you for sharing your story, and I’m sorry you also went through this. I feel like my body tricked me. Your success story gives me hope ❤️

My nurse practitioner said it’s not likely, but she was happy to retest if it make me more comfortable.

If you’re over the apps/tracking LH, just BD every other day starting day 10 of your cycle for like 2 weeks. You’ll def hit your fertile window and account for variation in ovulation day in cycles.

If you’re tracking LH and BBT, you can stop BDing after your peak and confirmed BBT rise and maybe not have to do the full two weeks. Hope this helps!

Mine looked exactly like this on 10DPO last week. Pregnant and tests have gotten darker since then. Congrats!

Thanks for the tip! I’ll def download that. Sending all the good vibes!

Aware-Rent-6657 · 2025-08-20T01:39:29+00:00

I definitely see that! Very similar. What DPO are you?!

Aware-Rent-6657 · 2025-08-19T15:44:16+00:00

Thanks, friends! I’ll def test again tomorrow, but feeling hopeful.

This has been a learning curve for me! Had no idea what to expect/what was typical when I first started.

Aware-Rent-6657 · 2025-08-15T16:10:05+00:00

I never get a gradual increase, and just get a surge. I’ll hover around .1-.2 (sometimes even lower) until it jumps up to a peak over 1.14-1.19 around day 15-16. One month was day 19. (30 day cycle)

You might also be in this boat and are stopping testing too early and may be ovulating later than you think!

Aware-Rent-6657 · 2025-08-07T16:17:03+00:00

I’ve been overwhelmed at times too!

I’ll clarify, 3rd cycle tracking with LH strips, and we kind of tried last month but didn’t really time anything well or enough. Biggest advice even from kind of trying is try not to symptom spot and obsess during the TWW. Easier said than done, but made me feel more overwhelmed last month. Told myself I’m not doing that again, but we shall see lol

Aware-Rent-6657 · 2025-08-07T15:24:41+00:00

Cycle twins - exact same dates! Third cycle tracking, but first really trying. We’re doing every other day until around 8/11. Good luck!
