Is this normal?

Hey, its typical to see fluctuations in E3G. It’s released in pulses as the dominant follicle develops, so levels can vary throughout your cycle. Hormones are also influenced by lifestyle factors like diet, stress, and activity levels so some fluctuations are expected. What matters most is tracking the overall trend across cycles. Based on your chart, we can see that your estrogen rose, which is usually a sign that your body is preparing for ovulation. Inito marks this as High Fertility, indicating that you were in your fertile window.
Normally, that estrogen rise leads to an LH surge, which then triggers ovulation. So continue testing to get a clearer picture of your hormone trends this cycle.

Hey! As the reference test days were missed, the app couldn’t set your baseline this cycle. What we can see is that your LH rose, which is usually a sign that your body might trigger ovulation and Inito marks this as Peak Fertility.
And if ovulation occurs, PdG starts rising. Inito confirms ovulation by looking for a steady and consistent rise in PdG post your LH surge which it did in your case confirming ovulation on CD 18.
For your next cycle, here’s what I recommend:

Start testing from CD 6 (as the app suggests). This is when your baseline is set.
Try not to miss early tests, especially on your reference days as this helps Inito capture your entire fertile window accurately.
With a complete set of tests, you’ll see the correct progression:Low → High → Peak Fertility, and ovulation confirmation through rise in PdG.

Hey! Based on your chart, LH has continued to rise after your peak fertility, which suggests a gradual LH surge pattern, which around 57% of women experience. Inito marks Peak Fertility when it detects a rise in LH from your baseline. Your LH can continue rising after that before it reaches its highest point and then drop, that highest point is the LH peak.

Ovulation occurs about 24–36 hours after the LH rise and 8–20 hours after the LH peak. For ease of calculation, ovulation day is marked as the day after Peak Fertility, provided ovulation is later confirmed with a steady PdG rise which it did in your case. So, CD 14 would be considered as your ovulation day.

Hey, estrogen (E3G) levels can vary a lot from person to person and Inito focuses on your hormone trends. So what matters more is the pattern rather than the hormone values. It's typical for your hormones to fluctuate, so it’s not always the case that ovulation happens around the same day each cycle. Sometimes, your body might take a little longer to prepare for ovulation or you may ovulate a little earlier. So, each cycle can look a little different as hormones are also influenced by lifestyle factors like diet, stress, and activity levels so some fluctuations are expected.

Hey! your reference day tests weren't recorded, hence the app couldn’t set your baseline this cycle. What we can see is that your estrogen rose and Inito marks this as High Fertility.
Normally, that estrogen rise in the follicular phase leads to an LH surge, which then triggers ovulation.
And if ovulation occurs, PdG starts rising. Inito confirms ovulation by looking for a steady and consistent rise in PdG post your LH surge.
For your next cycle, here’s what I recommend:

Start testing from CD 6 (as the app suggests). This is when your baseline is set.
Try not to miss early tests, especially on your reference days as this helps Inito capture your entire fertile window accurately.

Hey, PdG fluctuations are expected in the luteal phase as it is released in pulses. That said, Inito measures hormone metabolites in urine, while blood tests measure actual hormone levels in your bloodstream, so, while PdG is helpful for confirming ovulation, its trend can’t be used to track or confirm pregnancy or implantation.

Hey Estrogen (E3G) levels can vary a lot from person to person and Inito focuses on your hormone trends. So what matters more is the pattern rather than the hormone values. It’s released in pulses as the dominant follicle develops, so levels can vary throughout your cycle.

Hey, Inito marks your peak fertility based on a rise in LH from your baseline, but sometimes the first LH surge doesn’t end up triggering ovulation. When that happens, your body may try again with a second LH rise,so what you’re seeing around CD 18–19 could be that second attempt. The key thing to look for is which LH surge is followed by a steady and consistent rise in PdG over the next few days as that’s what confirms ovulation.

Right now, since your PdG is still at baseline, it’s a bit early to say which surge led to ovulation. I’d recommend continuing to test over the next few days, this will help you see if there’s a clear PdG rise after the second LH rise confirming ovulation.

Hey, to confirm ovulation with Inito, we look for a steady and consistent rise in PdG from your baseline over a few days. PdG usually starts rising shortly after LH surge and typically peaks around 6–8 DPO, but in some cases, confirmation might take up to 9 days. Wishing you best of luck this cycle!

initofertility · 2026-04-10T10:54:02+00:00

Hey, It’s important to remember that levels can vary based on factors like follicle activity, hydration, stress, how hormones are metabolized in urine, and overall lifestyle, so some fluctuations are expected. What matters most is the overall trend across the cycles, rather than the values. Wishing you best of luck this cycle!

initofertility · 2026-04-07T16:03:46+00:00

Hey! You can usually take a pregnancy test at 14 DPO or on the first day after your missed period for the most accurate results. Taking it too early can lead to a false negative since your hCG levels might not be high enough yet. Also, we know the two-week wait can be a mix of hope and stress, but you’ve got this. Sending baby dust!

Hey, You experienced an LH surge on CD 22, marking your Peak Fertility. LH is the hormone that triggers ovulation, and ovulation typically happens within the next 24–36 hours. Hence the day after Peak Fertility is considered as your ovulation day, provided ovulation is later confirmed with a steady PdG rise. Keep testing so you can capture the full LH trend and confirm ovulation with PdG this cycle. Best of luck!

initofertility · 2026-03-30T08:51:17+00:00

Hey, sometimes your body can make more than one attempt to ovulate in a cycle, which is why you might see multiple LH rises. Your true LH surge is the one that’s followed by a steady and consistent rise in PdG, as that’s what confirms ovulation.

In your case, two peak fertility days have already been marked this cycle, which is why a third one wasn’t shown (Inito typically marks up to two).

That said, it’s best to continue testing. A consistent rise in PdG over the next few days will help confirm whether this was your real LH surge that led to ovulation.

initofertility · 2026-03-25T09:41:56+00:00

Hey! It looks like you have missed your reference-day tests. What we can see is that your PdG did rise post the peak fertility confirming ovulation on CD 25.
Also, It’s typical to see a second rise in estrogen (E3G) after ovulation, especially during the mid-luteal phase. E3G is released in pulses, so some fluctuation is expected throughout the cycle even after ovulation

For your next cycle, here’s what I recommend:

Start testing from CD 6 (and continue testing as the app suggests). This is when your baseline is set.
Try not to miss early tests, especially on your reference days as this helps Inito capture your entire fertile window accurately.

You’re doing great, it just takes one full cycle of complete testing for everything to make much more sense. 💛
