I am using the monitor for the first time and am 99% sure it missed my LH surge. The LH line on the test stick got darker and darker to day 12 and then got lighter, but it never got darker than the estrogen line. I think i had a short sure either after testing day 11 or day 12, but the surge was gone before the 24 hours was up and I tested again. I had all of the signs of ovulation (cm, sex drive, ovulation pain) late on day 12. I have a regular 27-28 day cycle, have never had a longer cycle, and I have 3 children, one miscarriage and one chemical pregnancy, so I know I can get pregnant.
Same with me like kikicoates78 i test in the morning like 11:30am nothing but at night around 5pm i will get a positive. So test twice so you want miss your surge.
Lots of BD to you.
,
wow kiki I suppose anything is possible though.
I just think that for such an expensive piece of equipment it should get it right.
Maybe they need to alter it so that you test twice a day with it.
I suppose I will carry on using the monitor anyway to see what happens but I am going to back it up with the opk's as well.
It is very possible to miss your LH surge! I am living proof! I am 24 weeks with a little girl who was conceived while my monitor read low! I was seeing a RE who had me do back up OPK's and thank goodness my smiley caught my surge in the Eve. but the next am my monitor still did not read it, it did go to high, but my RE had confirmed ovulation with U/S so it can happen! I only got a peak readin once everny three months or so, and I have normal 28 day cycles, I just have a very short surge!
I have the same monitor. Before seeing my RE, my cycles were out of wack also. I used the monitor for three cycles... I didn't get a peak my first cycle. Next, two I did peak readings. I think it ..has to get to know you? Like, what your cycle tend to be. I haven't used it in 2 cycles (I had lap. surgey last and this cycle we decided to just use OPKs since I am not taking any fertility meds).
I too experienced the same thing.
The 1st time I used the monitor...it worked so beautifully...text book. I got 'high" on CD 12, then peak on CD17 & 18.
The next time I used it...I reached "high" on CD12 again, so I was happy...thinking it was going to automatically go to peak CD17...no go...never reached peak. I was also on meds & think it might've affected it.
This month..."high" came CD13 & Peak...CD15 & 16.
The best thing to do is try it again next cycle to see if you do get a peak.
I've met a few women who've gotten pregnant while the monitor showed "high" only. So...be encouraged. SSBD to ya. ;o)
