I’m only on my 2nd month of TTC/tracking my ovulation. Last cycle I had a clear LH surge of ~56. I’m on cycle day 21 and the highest my LH has gotten so far was 2 days ago around LH level of 15. I can’t figure out if that was my surge for this cycle or not. My cycles vary from 29-50 days long (average is 35 days).

If you have PCOS then your LH can be elevated throughout your cycles. Usually I have strong line on the LH strip from day 6-day 30 ish. I have PCOS, I do not even use the strips anymore as it is pointless.

I’ve never been diagnosed with PCOS, only dysmenorrhea. I’ve talked to my doctor about PCOS but she didn’t think that was the right diagnosis for me bc I don’t have any of the other symptoms associated with PCOS besides irregular cycles. when my stress is low, im not traveling, getting enough sleep and exercise, my cycles are more regular. It’s just hard for me to get all those things in consistently. idk maybe wrong diagnosis.
My line has been pretty faint so far this cycle. Last cycle my LH level hovered around 5-15 until my surge which was around 56.

I see👌 have they ever done a day 3-5 hormone blood test? Just to see your hormones in general?

nope not that I recall. When I last met w my dr (it’s been about a year. husband and I both got laid off etc but both working now) she gave me some dietary recommendations and said if after 6-12 months of trying if we aren’t having luck then we could start digging into it but didn’t want to contribute unnecessary stress to the process this early when I may not have any issue getting pregnant. Part of her speciality is also OBGYN and she’s great so I do trust her guidance. If we get a couple more months in and no luck I’ll definitely ask about that test.

Sure👌 just an advice if I can. The first thing I would definitely get checked when the time comes is the progesterone level 7 days after ovulation, in normal cycle on day 21. We could have saved lots of time if we knew that. All the best to you🤞💪❤️

great thank you!
