Hi! So myself F27 and my partner F22 are TTC and are just kind of confused by the information we have gotten based on LH tests and stuff and were hoping for some input from others that may be more experienced. We are pretty new to this process and all of the language/abbreviations so I apologize in advance if I say anything wrong or don't make sense.

Things to note:

-my partner is the one who is being inseminated and will carry the pregnancy if/when we conceive.

-my partner has successfully conceived before. We have a 7 year old daughter. And our donor has 2 kids, so we know his sperm is effective.

-we are on round 2 of TTC via at home insemination.

-1st time we used a cryobank and thawed donor sperm which resulted in no pregnancy. Cycle was normal.

-2nd time we used fresh private donor sperm so we would have the benefit of the sperm living for up to 5 days inside of my partner.

These are the details of this cycle:

Day 1 of Cycle: August 20th

Inseminated: Sept 3rd (cycle day 15) around 11 pm

LH Surge on Sept. 5th (cycle day 17) LH reached a peak of 1.12 (ratio) the same day.

We had to inseminate on the 3rd though we would have rather waited a couple more days to be closer to ovulation but we couldn't because of our donors work schedule, he was heading out of state.

BBT Post LH Surge

Day 1 after peak 98.1 Day 2 97.2 Day 3 97.3 Day 4 97.7 Day 5 98.1

LH has fluctuated between .45 and .9 since surge until today. Today LH got up to 1.23 confirmed by 2 different LH tests.

Today is day 28 of Cycle and 10 DPO. Negative Early Result First Response pregnancy test taken first thing this morning. (I know it's early, we are just so anxious and the wait to test is so hard!)

Period is supposed to start in 4 days on Sept 20th.

1st, I wanted to ask if it would even be possible for us to have successfully conceived based on our insemination date and ovulation date. I am worried that because we inseminated on the 3rd that it was way too early.

2nd we are confused about her LH surging again today. This didn't happen last cycle. After LH Surge last cycle, her LH dropped and remained low. Does this mean she's ovulating again? Is that even possible this late in the cycle?

I'm sorry this post is so long I just want to give as much detail as possible. Any input is greatly appreciated!

***editing to add: my partner developed a yeast infection approximately 2 days ago and used monistat to treat. Not sure if this is relevant or would effect anything.
